♥ something old.


i know, technically i am supposed to be on my honeymoon with my computer 
closed for the remainder of the week-- but i cannot resist sharing pictures 
of my wedding dress with you. 

i found it on etsy about a month after i got engaged, and fell instantly in 
love with the puffy tulle skirt, the low back, the perfectly intact rhinestones hidden
 within the fluffy neckline, and the idea that some bride from a completely different 
era also wore it on the happiest day of her life. 

the dress came from vintage sellers, timeless vixenand traveled in the teeniest box 
from california all the way to my home in massachusetts. i knew i was taking a chance 
buying it sight unseen, with only the measurements and the assurance of the sellers to go by-
but as soon as i slipped the dress on, saying a silent prayer as the zipper slid into place, 
i knew that it was meant to be. the dress fit like a glove and was everything that
i could have ever dreamed a wedding dress could be.
