Thank you, Facebook, for realizing I’m engaged pointing me to advertisers that may pique my interest. Really. I don’t care if you profit from me…as long as you keep attracting cool advertisers like LoBoheme. 
Isn’t this vintage-inspired hairpiece lovely?! *heart pitter patters* Definitely some good inspiration for my veil/hair accessory. Thoughts?
When I was in New Orleans a few weekends ago, I got to see so many neat things!
As my parents and I walked through the French Quarter, I kept seeing neat little window advertisements for this place called Fleur de Paris. I HAD to check it out.
Once we found it, I walked into the boutique and realized I could be there for hours trying on all the pretties on display. Chic hats, intricately beaded purses, gowns to die for and a multitude of amazing accessories. (I’m sure it was probably a nightmare for my Dad. Hehe.)
Again, if I were a New Orleans bride, I would TOTALLY shop there for me and/or my (soon-to-be notified and announced) bridesmaids.
Isn’t this photo stunning? I absolutely LOVE it. Such class. Such emotion. Yum. This is another lovely find I stumbled upon over at the Vintage Glam Blog.
I have so much more to share and talk about…I just need to find a few more minutes in the day! Hoping that will happen tonight. I PROMISE there’s more to come soon.
I have a special announcement! I’m getting married in my mother’s wedding gown!
My parents' wedding - August 1974
In August of 1974, she married my father in a very stylish gown she hand stitched herself. Since that day, it has been sealed in an airtight storage box that had remained unopened for the last 35 years – until this week. When we took it out of the box on Monday afternoon, it was just as beautiful and perfect as I imagined it was on her the day she walked down the aisle.
As gorgeous as the dress is, it is dated. With the help of my local fashion designer/seamstress friend Sarah, however, we’re going to bring it from 1974 to 2010 in no time. After discussing my vision of how we could update the dress, we brainstormed for a bit and she put together a lovely little sketch that illustrated the updated style and elegance I’m looking for. More on this later! YAY!
