Merry Marry Me....
Of course you should choose a vintage wedding dress...
because it's better to use what is already here, better to use what comes from a local source, better to think about the disposal problem...I know...but you are a GrownUp now!
vintage and handmade wedding ideas here at etsy
so a vintage sharkskin suit?
here.....
you know me...I like marriage so much...I did it twice.
I think everyone should have the right to marry...
the old joke: Everyone should have the opportunity to be miserable like the rest of us !!
(ha ha) oh and how far we have come since Obama was elected....no more Don't Ask don't tell....so let's remember that come voting day...
My second wedding was....
Traveling to San Francisco to be married at City Hall in 1997, my second wedding dress was a lacy antique silk slip that was mostly falling apart..
I made that into the mini skirt, then for the blouse I used a 70s faux Victorian blouse that I remodeled ....
I wore some new/edwardian style shoes....and paired it up with my favorite leather jacket. I was hot! Mark wore a thrift store linen suit, with a bright blue shirt and a vintage pink/blue tie and 2 tone Saddle shoes.
Vintage sunglasses of course.
The pics are packed away..... I'll copy them and post them for you all to laugh at.
So....a Vintage Wedding Dress?
I always buy pretty white dresses for my shop and I adore vintage lingerie for the bride. A bride and groom should indulge themselves (sensibly) for their wedding and honeymoon, because soon enough, it won't be about just you 2. There is real life.
And for the lady bride..... pretty dresses....
and pretty lingerie.....

2 of my favorite things
Horses. Beach.
and bonus....Robert Louis Stevenson.
"We consume the carcasses of creatures of like appetites, passions, and organs as our own,
and fill the slaughterhouses daily with screams of pain and fear."
from here....
last summer Mark and I went to the Greg Kucera Gallery, and this is part of what we saw....
It looks like driftwood, but many of the horse sculptures are really made of bronze and copper. Cast into metal, they were first made of wood. some were...Madrone..... that tree is one of my favorites. It's a West Coast native...like me. Others were first made of tropical woods...then cast in metal.
the artist: DEBORAH BUTTERFIELD
Seven Bronze Sculptures,was the show, and the artist.
