I ♥ wedding dresses with pockets and poofy bottom halves...

I saw some on David's Bridal site I will have to share, soon, too...

Mayfield Park

We got to go here a couple of weeks ago, and it's totally where I want to get married... probably next fall. It is completely magical. That's a big "if"--if we can get lucky with the city parks' lotto system (fingers crossed!!). We looked at Fiesta Gardens, too, but couldn't see anything through the fence... I think there may be a holiday event there soon, so we can check it out.

Dress + Shoes

I have coveted both this style of dress--and those particular shoes (by Vivienne Westwood)!! Squeeeeee!

I guess nothing worth doing hasn't been done before... 

Allebach Photography

This photographer's grand, too, but unfortunately in Philadelphia.

This fun wedding was also written about on  Rock 'n Roll Bride.

Crinolines!

 I found my crinoline--in aqua and red even!--on the same site as the dress I'm in love with, Unique Vintage. Now I just need to wait until I get another 20% off code to buy everything... I should have jumped on the last one before it expired!

Fascinators...

I will still make you a custom fascinator (for pretty cheap) anytime (and plan to for my wedding) ...

but if you'd rather make your own~

Petticoat coveting...

I want it... I saw it a while back and fell in love...

Offbeat Bride 

...in fact, I think it must've subconsciously influenced my Halloween costume, which I wore to a wedding...

Aqua & Red

My friend sent me these photos from a wedding a while ago with my favorite color combination, and I had to set them aside...

Also, I came across this one on Lollipop Events & Designs, which I love...
