Am I wrong?

The thing is, I am seriously contemplating buying this dress for my future (hopefully) wedding. I am thinking of making the cape into some kind of veil. Or I might just stroll down the aisle with it. Something about it just calls out to me, but I suspect I'd have to stick myself on this website as one of the people I regularly degrade for their wedding attire. What do you think?

Of course, its from CherishedBride-my fave as promised.

From the front:


And from the back....check out that trainage...


And a few close ups...


And since my dear friends at CherishedBride provide helpful matching headpiece suggestions for each gown, I am thinking of this one for my magical, 60's inspired psychedelic stroll down the aisle....(P.S.) that is not my head ;)


I like these too....



Ideas?

stuck on vintage

I am still stuck on vintage. And still looking for pretty ball gowns. I found another great vintage site-CherishedBride.Com which not only sells actual vintage gowns, but amazing vintage headpieces and veils, and other accessories.

Because I am supposed to be looking for ball gowns, I found some on this site that, well, I would not necessarily recommend for any bride to wear, but they are great example of style and beautiful detail that we can all at least learn from.

So, this entry devoted to ball gowns from CherishedBride. Next entry, my faves from CherishedBride. (all photos from CherisedBride.com)

If you are going to go for layers, (as many brides seem to be doing now using the "make me look like a melted wedding cake or a can of shaving cream that exploded" technique), this is the way to do it. Look at the beautiful neck-line. Collars on a wedding dress can be beautiful, when done right (hint, hint, Giorgio ). And what's that, a back to a dress without an ass bow?? Is it really possible?



I absolutely love the beautiful neckline on this one. So pretty, oh so pretty!


Ok, if I was a ballerina, I would totally get married in this dress! They so knew how to use lace properly back then. Why do we not use as much lace anymore? Why?!! Another beautiful neckline!
