White Wednesday - Here Comes the Bride

Yes it's Wednesday.

White Wednesday to be precise.

Yes -- I have missed some.

But here goes ....


Instead of looking 
far and wide
for pics promoting 
the
awesome-ness of white

let me 

SHARE with YOU

some of my own

VINTAGE WEDDING PICS*

I wonder who the happy couple is.

And this one, too ...
Finally, 
"Aunt Myrtle and husband"

AND
for those of you who
DON'T LIKE
VINTAGE WEDDING PICS

Something
wedding related
It doesn't get any better than this ...
old white ironstone
and a vintage fork
with tines holding a placard.

From Elizabeth (of Elizabeth House fame) 
and her Carriage House Wedding

From the opening comment
"burlap is today's tulle" 
to the closing statement
"we trusted our hearts"

this is a site you will
fall in love with
each time you visit.

CHEERS!

Hugs and Happy White Wednesday (visit Kathleen at Faded Charm for a list of participants -- and a giveaway!)

*note: all photos are believed to be weddings, but no guarantees!  All were purchased at estate sales, flea markets, ebay, and other sources.  No real information regarding individuals, (sometimes written on back) but consider them all family.  You may download the images to use in journals or other artwork.  If you do, please send me a pic of the finished project so we can celebrate together!
ps if you don't care for the style of dress, stick around!  More to come later ....  In the meantime, get a kick out of the elaborately painted backdrops ..... or furniture choices, hairstyles and "gleeful" expressions.  Enjoy!

    p.s. do not remember whether I already invited you to visit my blog at http://ritashabbychicrose.blogspot.com/
    This is what you call old age though I never thought that at the age of 47 wouldn't be able to retain info... LOL
    In case I did, well take it as a double invitation. If I didn't, then do come by some time and let me know you've been there.
    Blessings

  9. I love the vintage photos! I'm always amazed that people used to not smile in photos - even on happy occasions (my grandmother was the same way).

  10. Thanks for the visit and the precious hint Betty.I'll definitely put that lovely teacup on my bedside table to hold my pearl earrings and necklaces. That should look awesome! even better, if I place it on an antique doily. only thing is ,as both my wardrobe and bedside tables are offwite, I've got to find the right color for the doilie for a more dramatic effect!
    Have a nice evening (for me it's nearly time to go to bed) and take care.
    Hugs
