Your Big Day (picture heavy post)

I'm sure everyone knows someone who is getting married or got engaged. Well if you're that lucky someone (or helping that lucky someone..or shopping for gifts) this post is for you. Its just about that time to get together your outfits for the wedding and reception, shoes, undergarments, jewelry...all those things you didn't know you needed. I got married almost 3 years ago and I wore vintage...I loed it. I treasure that dress and although I dont know that anyone will ever find the dress as "special" as I do..I'm still passing it on in my shop for some other bride on a budget. This post is all about wedding pretties.

Each picture links to the item.

New Pretties For Me

It feels like forever since I've had anything special to report but today I got in the mail a dress I purchased, just because (I couldn't pass up the price, for one) and I adore the collar! I thought it would be the typical "dusty pink" taffeta color but it turned out to be this wonderful bronze/copper color and the velvet around the collar is a deep mocha with a metallic sheen to it. It so beautiful! AND...it even got a built in crinnie. :)



the crinnie is brown with a toffee-yellow hem
Such a pretty dress, I think it'll be just perfect for my anniversary in June :)
