Non Traditional Wedding.

This isn't going to be a long post but I wanted to share my wedding outfit with y'all since you were so sweet when I originally posted about it. Initially I wasn't sure I wanted a dress that was even remotely bridal but after we decided to have a morning ceremony in our living room it felt like something pretty and light would be the most appropriate. I really loved this Shoshanna dress I saw on RTR and ended up buying it on Poshmark for $75. Shoshanna makes such pretty dresses for curvy figures! Mine is beautifully made and I love the vintage feel to it. 

photo from last fall when I had two good feet! 

Because we chose February (our wedding date was our 6th dating anniversary) I knew I'd freeze my ass off if I didn't have a jacket, so I found this cream suede motorcycle jacket (also via Poshmark) by BlankNYC and have worn it a few times already. Sadly it's sold out but this version is pretty similar and there's a faux suede version as well. 

I also managed to wear one of my beloved Loeffler Randall slides which were the most expensive element of my outfit and even though I couldn't wear both of them, I still think they're beautiful and festive. No regrets! 

That said, don't buy your wedding shoes in August, people. Of course we got a big snowstorm a few days before our wedding so I changed into my new Converse for our after-ceremony brunch because I am still using crutches and didn't need to slip on the ice and break my other foot. 

We didn't really decorate other than to buy some gorgeous flowers for the mantle centerpiece and my family also sent some really lovely flowers which we put by the entrance. 

We had four local friends attend and I FaceTimed in my mother, sister and niece to watch. A short ceremony, a champagne toast, and then brunch at a French restaurant nearby. It was really simple and perfect.


Can't forget the best man:

  2. Weddings are the best! You look so beautiful and I'm glad that you got to wear at least one of your very pretty shoes. I loved that dress when you first showed it on the blog, and it is perfectly suited to a cream moto jacket. Everyone looks fantastic all around, especially Daniel. I wish you joy!
