| I had this nagging feeling today that I was forgetting something..then the lightbulb goes on at 10:30pm, I'm late to my own Wedding Party! I am so excited to join angelicaccents.blogspot.com for this wonderful party! |
 |
| I think I have collected about 100 vintage wedding photos from the 1900s to the 1960s. The earlier ones are my favorites. |
 |
| You can go to the header above and click on Vintage Wedding Photos and t will take you to my Flickr account and you can download anything you want! I have collected these for several years and I am addicted! |
 |
| I always look at these photos and wonder what were they thinking? Did they love their spouse to be or was it an arranged marriage? |
 |
| The different styles of dresses and even how they are posed have changed over the years. These flapper brides are just beautiful! And look at the flowers! |
 |
| You can tell that this bride came from money by the size of the bouquet and the gorgeous lace her gown is made from. Plus, ah, to be a little catty, this is not what I would call a beautiful bride so I have a feeling her dowery was very large! |
 |
| This couple looks Greek because of the high crown of her veil. Neither look to happy about the upcoming nuptials! |
 |
| This is one of my favorite photos because the woman I bought it from said it was her daughter,"She was a beautiful bride, but she married a rat bastard!" I laughed so hard I almost got the vapors! |
 |
| What an adorable flapper bride! Now I want to think that these two are in love, they just look so young and innocent. I think she looks like a fairytale princess with her flowers in her hands and surrounding her feet. |
 |
| OK, nobody looks happy in this photo! The bride looks like she wants to say, "Help, get me out of here!" |
 |
| This is a terrible photo but I wanted to show you my latest prize. In the middle is a music box with the bride and groom on the top. Of coarse it plays,"Here comes the Bride." My friend Charlene saw it at Canton this past week, I had walked right by it! Way to go Charlene, she is truly my partner in crime! |
 |
| I found her all by herself in the top of a closet at an estate sale, she was only $10. That makes it even more fun when you find a deal on something you love! |
 |
| Again a bad photo but this is a wedding shadow box that I found in the Junk Gypsy booth in Round Top, Texas. Once again, my friend Charlene dragged me back to the booth when I started hemming and hawing bout the price and said, "Buy it!,NOW!" SO I did. Thank you again Charlene!! |
 |
| This is just part of my collection of cake toppers, like all my wedding items, it's an obsession that I adore! |
 |
| OK, can you guess what this bowl is filled with? Cupcake toppers. I bought everyone that I could find...this is only part of them! |
 |
| I need to take a photo class this photo looks pretty poor. The lace everything is sitting on is one of the many tea stained wedding dresses I have. I have a tutorial on how to stain a wedding dress on this blog if you want to learn how. :) |
 |
| These headpieces are from the "Holy Grail of estate sales. It was a woman that owned a wedding dress shop! She owned a shop!! I was there and hour and a half before the sale started and took my own big bags to pile everything in. As it turned out, the estate sale people gave me a CLOSET to put everything I was buying in! |
 |
| These were sleeves from that same estate sale, they were only $10 a pair. I went back on Sunday morning, early of coarse, and swept EVERYTHING into my bags and everyone was whispering as I walked by,"There's that girl that bought all that stuff on friday, yesterday, and now she's back today!" I didn't care, I just wanted to pour it all over the floor and wallow in it!! |
 |
| So maybe you're wondering what I do with all of this wedding lace and beaded sleeves? I made tops like this one! The beading was really hard to sew on so I've only made a couple. |
 |
| A close up of the beading. |
 |
| This is the back of the top. The layering is from the bottom of a wedding dress, it's my favorite so far. I think because it took me s long to finish it! I won't wear it this Texas heat, I'm afraid to get to hot and ruin it. SIlly I know! Thank you for joining me for the wedding party. Sorry I showed up late to the party but I made it in time for the reception! |
