my vintage find!

A friend and I were shopping in Kensington Market last week looking at old crinoline skirts that might come in handy for the Practice Wedding. Little did I know, instead of crinoline, I was going to actually find my Practice Wedding Dress!! Hanging innocently in the window of a second-hand shop, my astute eye {the same snazzy one that also fell in love with Kate Hudson's wedding dress from You, Me and Dupree} noticed it from down the street. With single-minded focus I made a bee-line for the store just knowing this dress was mine. Its like it was just waiting for me to come along....a little Chrismukkah miracle!

No fuss or alterations....this is about ten minutes after I brought it home! I'm in love...

I forgot to post these images I found on Black*Eiffel a while back. The photographer Josh Goleman seems to have captured the same feeling I would like to convey in our Practice Wedding. I was so happy I stumbled across them again!

Also on Black*Eiffel I found this awesome pic! Vintage dress lanterns!! Now why didn't I think of that?!
