Pretty girls

I get all weepy and happy when I see weddings with 2 brides in dresses. 
Check out all these pretty brides I found on the Rock N Roll Bride blog.

Then go here to Luminaire Images for the most beautiful photos of Sharine and Carolyn.  I want to cry, SLF and I have been together for 9 years this year too.  What a lovely wedding with 2 beautiful brides!

And then here to see a wedding by Q weddings of 2 gorgeous brides who were married at a historic mansion, just like our venue!! Swoon.  Little tears of happiness are rolling down my cheeks.

And ok, last one by Daniel Krieger, it's just so wonderful.

1950s fan (again)

Look at this gorgeous 50s inspired gown in silk, and it's affordable!  Be still my heart.

With affordable gorgeous shoes from Lela Rose for Payless Shoes.  Yes, I said Payless.  Only it's called Unforgettable Moments, no need to call attention to the words payless and wedding in the same sentence.

This one is called Nathalie and would look especially good in red.  This shoe is even better in person, and any Payless will have a dyed satin swatch book you can see to pick out just the right color (and they have lots of good ones!)  I know you are thinking dyed wedding shoes from Payless, have you lost your mind?!  But I swear, it looks expensive and it's not!  Just don't buy the shoes in the store.  Great for trying on but they are made of this weird white fabric that is not dyeable.  You have to order the satin dyed shoes online.  But they do have satin dyed samples in store so you can see the real fabric on the shoe and the dye job...which is good.


Then you'll need a petticoat for just the right poof!  How about a white one with red trim for that all important photo of lifting the dress up to show the petticoats and shoes like this:

So very cute.
