The Savvy Sonsie Bride: The Search for Inspiration

Yesterday, I was looking for bridal inspiration, which in turn revives my heart towards romance and towards the hopeful yet sometimes arduous journey of love. Mind you, I'm not yet getting married, not yet engaged, and here's the kicker: I don't even have a boyfriend. I know. Shocking.

So why would I start a blog that is dedicated to savvy sonsie brides? Well, Just yesterday, I tried to find wedding images to inspire a good friend of mine. This friend, like many girlfriends I have, is a full figured young lady in her early 30s, and does not fit the stereotypical display of beauty we are bombarded with in the media and even here in our lovely Southern California culture. But she is beautiful. I was frustrated that I could not find an array of resources and pictures specifically depicting these types of women.

     After a few hours of frustration, I figured it was time to start a blog of my own. I wanted to hear stories and see beautiful wedding photography of women that looked more like me, curvy (in small ways and not so small ways) and no longer in their twenties.

     This blog will be dedicated to the stories and insights of beautiful brides of different shapes and sizes over the age of 30.

     If you are a bride that inhabits the themes of this blog, or have been a bride recently, we'd love to hear your story and see the visible interpretation of your love through photos.

     So, to my curvy girls over 30: Let's get inspired!
