Good morning readers! I’ve got a super cute video for you today featuring Sarah and Rich in Malibu with one of my favorite songs from last year’s wedding season “Ho Hey.” The loop on this track is a little funky, but if I hadn’t said anything in the first place, you probably wouldn’t have noticed!

Wedding Trend: Gold Bridesmaids Dresses
After meeting with my dear friend and former co-worker Allison last night, she told me that she is actually going to be a bridesmaid in an upcoming wedding! Upon hearing this news, she gave me a mini project. This wouldn’t be the first task I’ve helped her with. I once successfully found her a cooking class for seven of her friends in the week that she asked me. So when she came to me seeking help to find her a dress – any dress – in gold, I was up for the challenge.
This post is for you Allison!

BHLDN Traveling Trunk Show

A trend that I am loving with retail stores is when they take their goods out on the road with them. Urban Outfitters had their pop-up shop. Warby Parker is spending weeks in different cities interacting with the locals and meeting their fans. Now, BHLDN is introducing their traveling trunk show to celebrate the third location of their newest store in California. They will hit up 6 Anthropologie stores on their travels (including Seattle!) and bringing with them their gowns for brides-to-be. BHLDN gowns are gorgeous, classic, and vintage, but a girl’s wedding day is going to be one of the most important days of her life so selecting one without trying it on can be a little nerve-wracking.
Wedding Mondays
Today’s wedding video comes from a local blogger named Carolyn Yuen Marino of Hey Pretty Thing! I absolutely love this video because it highlights my gorgeous city and so much love from the bride and groom. This is a stunning venue and the view from the roof top? No words. Really.
Carolyn has talked about her wedding details on her blog several times so for more information, just search it on her blog!

22 Of The Coolest Places To Get Married In America

Good morning readers!
It’s Monday morning which means that every day we get through means that we’re just a little bit closer to the weekend. This past weekend, however, was centered around one aspect of my life – a community that I had grown to love. Through a visit, I was finally able to close the door on one chapter and say goodbye to a beautiful space that taught me how to love, to share, to forgive, and to heal. Camp Don Bosco, what an amazing place you are.
On that note, I wanted to share with you all a few more spaces – but in the sense of Weddings because it is after all, Wedding Mondays here on Yow Yow! Buzzfeed recently compiled a list of 22 venues that are some of the coolest places to get married and Washington has snagged two of those spots with Sodo Park and Treehouse Point in Issaquah. Click here to view the rest of the list!
The Thorncrown Chapel
It’s been awhile since I’ve come across something so extremely breathtaking and as amazing as this. As a little girl, I always dreamed of having a wedding outdoors or maybe even in a vineyard though I have never been. I never thought my taste in weddings would align with chapels, but if they are as magnificent as this one, then I might have to change my tune.
The chapel, which can be found in Eureka Springs, Arkansas houses one of the few examples of organic architecture. Designed in 1980 by architect E. Fay Jones, Thorncrown Chapel provides some stellar views and follows a very organic design. The structure is such a wondrous piece that it is hard to believe that anyone or anything could think of harming it, but that is currently what the chapel is up against. Recently a power company has applied to construct a 48-mile high voltage transmission line that will put it right alongside the chapel in the woods where it is located. I hope that this structure can be kept safe and at peace in its tranquil home, but it’s tough to say at this point what will happen.

Keira Knightley Marries!

The beautiful Keira Knightley got married over the weekend to her Klaxons’ rock star James Righton and she wore a darling blush toned knee-length strapless Chanel dress with extra tulle! And to top it off? None other than a Chanel bouclé jacket, of course. Also let’s not forget to note the floral wreath sitting atop her head. This is such a great look for the modern day bride and though we maybe never expected it from her, it works! Girl can do whatever she wants.

Happy Monday morning and Wedding Monday!
This wedding preview featuring Marlene and David is so simple, but so beautiful at the same time. There isn’t a lot of conversing (which I don’t mind) except for their messages to each other and boy, is it sweet. Not a bad way to start a Monday, right?

Holi Powder Engagement Photos
So we’re a little early on Wedding Mondays, but I am in a wedding mood today after seeing some former Seattle U classmates of mine strolling through Cal Anderson on their way to the groom’s wedding in Capitol Hill! Oh yes, wedding season has arrived and Yow Yow! couldn’t be more excited about it. I’m playing some serious catch up this weekend and came across an incredible engagement photo shoot that I knew I had to share.
Check out the rest of the incredible shoot here.

Wedding Mondays
I know I always say that every wedding video is my favorite, but seriously THIS is one of my favorites. Lindsey and Nate are a beautiful couple and this video has so many stand out moments…
1) Lindsey’s dress! One of the best that I have ever seen.
2) Nate crying as Lindsey walks down the aisle.
3) Lindsey’s brother and his speech
Happy Monday readers!
We’ve been hosting Wedding Mondays to kick off your week for quite some time now and while I love wedding videos, it is not fair of me to deprive you of the details! I typically find these videos on wedding blogs when they are being featured. From here on out, you will now have the opportunity to learn more about the couple’s story, the details in the wedding, and the GORGEOUS photos. So yes, I’m taking up a little bit more time on your Monday mornings, but it’s well worth it – here it is brought to you by Green Wedding Shoes.
In Case You Missed It…
“If you only make bad decisions for the rest of your life, you made one really good decision.”

This would have been more appropriate on Wedding Wednesday, but there were just so many things to post yesterday that we couldn’t get to it. I wasn’t following the bridal shows closely, but Fashionista did and here are some of my favorites!

If only every guy could be a little bit more like Justin…swoon.
