Hello, Violets! I hope you’ve all been having a lovely holiday season. Hard to believe it is the last day of the year…and what a busy one it’s been! In 2014 we gave you the first two issues of our namesake magazine, published 238 posts on the blog, and received close to half a million views. Here are some of my favorite real weddings and styled shoots…and it was not easy narrowing these down to a dozen each! I am in awe of all the beauty we had the pleasure of sharing with you this year from talented photographers and wedding artists around the globe.
