When fun loving Texan newly-weds Pam and Shane describe their day as an ‘intimate, creative country wedding’ I don’t think they quite do the beauty and charm of their celebration justice.

It only feels like yesterday that I was swooning over the runway images from last year’s NY Bridal Market, so I can hardly believe it is possible that this years has also now been and gone?! But oh what a Bridal Market it was *sigh* as not only did we see the unveiling of an incredible…
