I may keep doing this for Photo Friday for a while (forgive me, but I LOVED my wedding!). I was never a bridal girl, but man, it was fun. And if you click to enlarge, the photos get clearer (the high res makes them fuzzy on the blog–sorry!).
So here’s how the dress thing went: First I went to bridal shops that I found overpriced and under-stylish. So, for the ceremony, I bought a 1930s nightgown at The Family Jewels, a vintage store on 23rd Street, and had awesome designer Garo Sparo make it into a gown. Et Voila!
Here you can see the detail of the top:
And the full length:
And the back:
I wore sparkly London Sole flats in “multi,” and a handmade flower from twistedcrystals on etsy in my hair.
Next week, dress #2! (Bear with me, people.)
Happy weekend!
