Old School Inspiration

Life Magazine has always incredibly well-known for their photographs. One of the premier publications that documented American living, they highlighted everything from girls dancing in poodle skirts, to the highest of high-fashion celebrations taking place across the country.

Now they'll fascinate and inspire you all over again.

Google announced today that they are now going to host all of the images from Life on their website, and that's where we've been all morning, looking at the most romantic and opulent weddings over the years.

Check out the elegance of Grace Kelly, who married Prince Rainier of Monaco in 1956. It's hard to beat the fairytale wedding of a movie star becoming a real life Princess!

Check out the Google for more photos of classic and elegant weddings. Jackie O anyone???
