As the year comes to a close it’s nice to look back and remember what has happened. Good or bad, happy or memorable.

2013 had it’s highs and lows personally. But WWW grew from strength to strength. I featured the most beautiful photography, for which I am so thankful for. Thanks so much to all of the amazing photographers and couples for contributing to WWW this year. Another huge thank you to all of the WWW real brides who have kept us entertained with their wedding planning in the past year. And of course to the Whimsical Wonderland Weddings family who have sponsored and supported the blog.
