Wedding Inspiration: Vintage Handkerchiefs

While Andrea was visiting last week, we visiting a thrift store where I found this vintage magazine holder. I also found another gem that I had been gravitating towards for awhile now: vintage handkerchiefs (handkerchiefs is a very strange word that I don't believe I've ever typed in my life before now). I think these would be a great addition to the vintage feel we're going for for our wedding. I love the colors and the details and the finishes around the edges. I'm just hoping they weren't used handkerchiefs. :)

It looks like I'm adding another vintage goody to my collection of mason jars and brooches. All you friends and relatives out there-- keep us in mind :)

Here are some ideas I've found on Pinterest. I don't imagine these handkerchiefs will play a large role in the decorations, but I do think they will be a nice touch.

Love that last one :) So sweet.

(I also took some pictures of some more vintage finds around our apartment. Check back later today!)

Wedding Dress Inspiration

I have been holding out on going wedding dress shopping because... I guess I don't know why. Maybe I would prefer to try on beautiful during the summer when I have sun-kissed skin and have been working out regularly? Who knows. I just haven't been overly excited about it. But my mom on the other hand has been begging me to go wedding dress shopping since BEFORE I even was ENGAGED. So, I thought I'd throw her a bone and look at some dresses.

I won't post any pictures of the dresses I tried on or liked because I would like to leave my wedding somewhat of a mystery. I also don't want Kevin to know what my dress will look like and he reads my blog from time to time.

However, I WILL share with you the dresses I have pinned on Pinterest over time. I think you might see a trend in my preferences. These are all dresses I saw at first glance and was immediately drawn to.

I must say, after today I am excited to do some more dress shopping. I'm not the kind of girl that can go dress shopping once, find the "one", and buy it. I am extremely indecisive, and given this big decision, I will be even more hesitant to jump on a dress right away. I'm excited to go again with some my mom, sister, some friends, and some future sisters-in-law and a future mother-in-law. :)
