First, I want to say my most humongous thank you to every. single. one. of you. Seriously, your comments yesterday about my project brought tears to my eyes. You are the most amazing, supportive, encouraging people I have ever had the privilege of “knowing”.

And to answer the most commonly asked question, the chevron wall is was hand-painted. Wow right?? If you want the info for an amazing decorative painter in the Chicago area, let me know!

Ok. On to weddings. Because its

If you follow me on Twitter you may have already seen, but I found and tried on (and fit into) my mom’s wedding dress from 1983.

Someone driving past thought I was a real bride and pulled over to say congratulations. How kind of them to pretend I didn’t look like the most horrifying bride on the planet. No make up. Hair in a nest. And THIS headpiece.

And PS aren’t I a very generous blogger for making myself look like such an idiot and sharing this picture with you?? I care very much about the enjoyment of your Wedding Wednesdays.

Now. Real dresses. I just made my first appointment to go to look at dresses for next week! The dress shopping is the most important part for me, I’m not going to lie. Luckily, I already know exactly what style I want (because its what I like, but even more importantly because its most flattering for me).

Which style is your favorite?

And, for anyone wondering, none of the dresses shown are dresses I am personally considering. Those are secrets!
