There’s much to love about real weddings. First, they’re about, well, love — between those saying “I do,” their friends and family members, and the city (Philly!) they chose for their union. Second, they provide so much inspiration as you plan your own Big Day! And third? They’re built-in parties, and who can resist dressing up and celebrating all day and night? That’s why we’ve rounded up 10 of your favorites — and ours, too. Without further ado, here are some of the best Philadelphia-area weddings of the year.
