Please excuse our absence for the next couple of weeks as we take some time away from the blog to focus on our wedding, coming up in 10 days! We’ll be back and better than ever on Monday, May 27th with more pretty inspiration and styling advice… sending love and kisses till then!

XOXO

Thanks for your patience, PBT readers! We took a few days off last week to tend to family & friends in the Boston area in the fallout of the terrible events that occurred there.  Thankfully, everyone is now safe and sound, and we hope your loved ones have fared just as well.

Now, onto one very pretty e-session to kick off the week: Jean and Chris’ Idaho shoot by Crissie McDowell Photography combines gorgeous nature, adorable pups, and true love just perfectly! In dazzling sun drenched images, this sweet and stylish couple shines through and takes full advantage of their lovely surroundings.  What an ideal start to an amazing wedding filled week we’ve got in store for you… enjoy!
