or..."The Dress, The Hair, The Ring, and The Man"
Old friends ask me, "When are you getting married?" It's become so old hat to reply, "When I'm done with school." that I don't really think about something two years+ away. Until I found these pictures, courtesy of Tumblr, and began dreaming.
The ring is a family heirloom from his side. It was custom designed by Great grandfather and has been handed down from father to son for four generations now. When the couple reaches their 25th wedding anniversary the ring is tucked away (in the original box!), to await the romance of the next generation, and a new ring procured. I'm thinking something gothy? Steampunk? Or just plain lovely.
My grand scheme is to make my dress, probably as a senior project for school, and go from there. I have struggled with what silhouette I want and then I found this fun purple (made from a tent!) frock.
I love the neckline, not terribly keen on the sleeves, but that's okay. I also adore the button sash. I'm such a sucker for button details...
Then I stumbled on this photograph and fell madly in love with the hair idea. By the time I actually get hitched my hair is going to be so long. I'm thinking peonies, or something equally sumptuous. Or just a crown of autumn leaves. We are getting married in October after all.
Oh, yes, the most important part. My honey-bunny. Couldn't do this without him!
