When last i left you, i was marveling over the genius idea of a tea-length dress. So different and vintage-y and exciting and gorgeous! Within minutes of seeing that Joan Shum masterpiece, i was totally sold. But where to find such a beautiful gown within a thrifty girl’s budget?
Enter, as always, the Internet. The lovely [...]

We’re several good months away from worrying about invitations, but i’ve been thinking a lot lately about how to “brand” the wedding.
