I LOVE Etsy! If I had no responsibility in the world, I could honestly spend hours there! But I cannot, so now, before school starts this month, I can use my time before falling asleep to spend a bit of time there. I am one of those girls who loves to plan parties, loves to think about the birthdays I could only dream of, as well as the changes I would make now if I were getting married again (like just keeping it simple, with family and close friends, with a dinner, dancing, no reception line, you know?) I also love the styling of vintage dresses, (and really and truly, I have the body for the 40's and 50's, as they flatter the top part of the body, and hide the hips and bottom! ;)
I love this dress! If it were not so pricey, I would honestly have to just buy it to look good on a date or on Sundays.
And this petticoat would just be darling and would truly make it pop!
I am a sucker for Australia. It is somewhere I would love to visit, and I love sitting and listening to anyone with an Australian accent. So it is no surprise I would love this dress, as it's designer is Australian. What a GORGEOUS and lucky bride!
And I would probably have a modest version of one of these two dresses for the reception/dinner because it would just be perfect! I love the gorgeous shades of blue!

And these non-real floral bouquets made with broaches instead are just stunning! (I think when the last of my family gets married, who happens to be the baby of the family) gets married I am going to try to talk her into one of these. She loves a good broach as much as I do!
And these sweet dresses would look so cute on a couple of my darling nieces *note: there were no nieces or Grandkids when Mike and I got married as we were the first to get married on his side and only the second on my side!*
They are so cute, I may just have to find a pattern and make them for my cute nieces, since buying them would cost almost as much as my wedding dress seven years ago!
And gone are the traditional huge veils and tiaras that I wore on my wedding day. In are the beautiful vintage lace hats, combs, and floral head pieces that are stunning!
This jewelry makes me drool, and it is something I could wear now!
My personal favorites are the stunning blue and the third one down with the dainty flower, pearl, and crystal strands prospectively.
And although I have actually never owned a suit, someday, (as I am working to lose weight!) I would love wearing this to the Physician Assistant interviews at the schools I will apply to, but it could also double for some lucky gal's wedding exit suit. Simply darling.
These are ALL available on Etsy, and a link to most of them can be found here!
Thanks for even reading this. It is probably boring the heck out of everyone else, but I just had to share!
