I was doing my usual blog browsing and found such a fun engagement session on The Knot.  That my dear readers is what inspired today’s post. I’m a fun loving kinda gal so the following aren’t too serious but super cute and guaranteed to make you smile.  I love how untraditional these are and you can tell that these couples have a BLAST!    So here we go…. Some FUN engagement shoot inspiration!

Let’s start with the fab photos that inspired me…

I think they crossed the line… Way TOO MUCH FUN is being had!!  I just LOVE this… and how cute would their Save the Dates be??

Oh the places I go

I have so many blogs that I read (as you can see), my RSS has been set up for 2 years and my blog roll has grown to well over 200.  I love seeing what others have to say, sharing ideas and how each bride puts a different spin on her wedding.

Today I wanted to share some of my favorite wedding blogs, I am going to exclude brides and photographers but I will share them soon.

100 Layer Cake – they always feature fantastic paper products and I have a love of all things paper.
Brooklyn Bride – she is sassy and fun.
DIY Bride – I am such a big fan of saving money and doing it yourself.
Green Wedding Shoes – she posts the most fantastic weddings.
Hip Hostess – not all about weddings but design inspires everything.
Hostess with the Mostess – this is not exactly a wedding site but I LOVE all the ideas on this blog.  WARNING: this site will make you want to throw a party.
Hot Pink Brides – I love anything pink.
Inspired Goodness – this blog and I share a love of clean lines and unique design elements.

Paper Olive – paper couture (you know I love that)
Peachs by Plums – a wedding planner…planning a wedding
Penned & Pretty – Jessica features and addresses fabulous invites.
Rock ‘n Roll Bride – make me want to turn rocker chick.
Snippet & Ink – almost every day Kathryn featured another awesome inspiration board.  If you are having a hard time finding a color theme…check out her blog.
Style Me Pretty – a must read and make sure you check out Style Circle.
Temple of Groom – got to love a Groom with a sense of humor.
The Bride’s Café – wish I could sit in this café all day long.
Vintage Glam Wedding – I have become obsessed with all things vintage and it’s this blog’s fault.
Wedding Bee Pro – a collection of every wedding detail.

Time for another installment of images that made me laugh this week!  Weddings should be full of love, life and laughter; I hope you have a fantastic weekend.

LOL…so I guess this was a part of a choreographed dance which always makes for great photos.  Check out the whole wedding posted on Meg Baisden.   Also watch how the flower girls pass out flowers and the bride collects them for her bouquet, very unique.

Millie Holloman Photography offers The Truth Booth, which is a really fun photo booth that comes with a ton of props.  Love the photos!

This photo cracks me up!  I love how her heel is sunk in the sand; if I had hot pink pumps like that I would try to rock them on the beach as well.  I am in love with this Hawaiian wedding photographed by Tinywater Photography, I came across their blog this week and their images are amazing.

This couple exchanged vows by interjecting Oh the Places You’ll Go by Dr Seuss.  I love when couples are bold enough to make their wedding personal, can you imagine how funny it was to hear the officiant say this:

And if you go in, should you turn left or right…
or right-and-three-quarters? Or, maybe, not quite?
Or go around back and sneak in from behind?
Simple it’s not, I’m afraid you will find,
for a mind-maker-upper to make up his mind.

Honestly  not sure how I came across their blog but the“Holiday Card” post was the day I found it and I was hooked…seriously awesome! 
This wedding took place at Notre Dame and the maid of honor was in charge of keeping the guys out.  I think she did a great job.
