…I’ve joined Pinterest!* And THAT plus several brides and other various spring goings on are why I haven’t posted as much lately. But I, of course, have an “All Thing I Do” board on Pinterest so if you ever need a quick hit of bridal– check it out!

I’m sure after awhile I’ll have to break it down to “All Things Vintage I Do” or “All Things Seaside I Do” but for now, I’m still amassing images!

*I don’t know why that one image isn’t coming up on the main screen but if you click on it– it’s there!

WARNING: Before you look at the photos below give your credit card to someone that you cannot over-power…

My friend, Jenn, found the following place when she saw a facebook ad of all things. Why do I get all the crappy ads and she gets this, you may soon as yourself. I have no idea. The facebook Gods are kind to her.

Anyway- credit cards hidden? Great, now let me introduce you to Unique Vintage.

Let’s start with bridal, shall we?

Dress 1: $1,518.00, Dress 2: $338.00 , Dress 3: $128.00, Dress 4: $240.00

And you’ll need engagement party, rehearsal dinner, Oh Hell I Just Feel Like It dresses:

Dress 1: $115.00, Dress 2: $120.00, Dress 3: $88.oo, Dress 4: $142.00

And finally, you’ll need something to wear this summer or on your honeymoon:

Bathing Suit 1: $106.00 (on sale), Bathing Suit 2: $75.00, Bathing Suit 3: $135.00 (very Fosse, too, non?), Bathing Suit 4: $99.00

I’m salivating over here! I’m about to go on a Veruca Salt tantrum! They also have an umbrella section to their site and hair pieces section and jewelry section and wine glasses with pinup girls and crazy-ass tights with fringe*. FRINGE, PEOPLE!

Go forth and covet!

*”Crazy-ass” being an adjective– the tights do not have any sort of ass fringe.

Well I am totally looking forward to having a couple of days off. My friend is having her 30th birthday party! YAY! This year both of my bridesmaids are turning 30 and my Mom is turning 60. Holy f-ing party planning, I know.

But that’s not why I decided to blog today. (Unless you have some good ideas what I should wear to NYC this weekend- if so- abandon the rest of the post and email me, you can go back and read it later). I’ve always wondered where people who want a unique wedding dress go if they don’t know a tailor or seamstress… well, you can go to shopflick and get this beauty from Mr. Larkin.

Or you can get this for everyone you know from the Beard Head Store

Aren’t choices grand?

I’m running off to yoga now but I wanted to share something else I found on my old CDs the other day:

This was a banner ad from Target’s Club Wed that I saw the very first time I logged onto the Knot. I loved it. I thought, “Dress– check– just need to track it down.” So I posted it to forums and scoured designer sites and email Target’s main office and stalked their stylists’ blogs and– SQUAT! In the end I found another dress that was nothing like the one above and loved it and we’ve been living happily ever after since then. Moral of the story– everything will be okay. Maybe not how you first envisioned it– but it will be okay.

Going clockwise starting in the top left the images are: St Michel by Josh Derr found on flickr; “Transfixed” by shutterBRI found on flickr); Flowers from Martha Stewart (can’t quite find the link but if you REALLY want me to search for it more just let me know in the comments section); Cake by Lovin’ Sullivan Cakes; Dress by Angel Sanchez; Flowers from Martha Stewart; Riviera Dress from Siri (they have wonderful dresses- I wish I had just gone for these for my bridesmaids); Veil from Bride’s Head Revisited; Necklace featured in a picture on oneatlanticevents.com website; Ferris and Sloane invites from The Future Mrs. Darcy.

This is my Sloane + Ferris inspiration board. When I was doing the invitations I had them getting married at the Art Institute of Chicago which was featured in the movie so I stuck with that. I think it’s cool without trying too much.

Also I have about 10 other photos that didn’t make the final cut into the inspiration board so if you’re loving the yellow just let me know and I’ll get the extras together.

Have a great friday!
