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.
