While we are on the subject of dream weddings, I would have loved to get married in Yosemite Valley and held a reception at the fabulously elegant Ahwahnee Hotel. Last week, this utterly devine wedding in the fantastically sublime Yosemite Valley graced the pages of the ever-so-wonderful Style Me Pretty blog and reminded me of how much I miss home sometimes. Living in Mammoth Lakes Ca I would frequently take a day trip into Yosemite to climb or just hike around. I can’t tell you how much I miss the dry, cool mountain air and the dusty small of pine and granite. What an amazing place to do anything!

With scenery like this, you barely need decorations. Here are a few of my favorite spots in The Valley:
