Ensembles: The Casual Bride
Super excited to introduce one of our newest contributors, Brittany from The House That Lars Built! I’ve continually been inspired by her work ever seeing the giant paper flowers she made for her wedding, as I’m sure you have as well. Welcome Brittany!
Deciding what to wear for my wedding about a year ago brought out the indecisive in me. One day I wanted to go art deco glamour and the next English country. One thing was for sure though: no princess! Though I loved what I wore—my mom’s old dress— I forgot jewelry entirely and would have loved to have donned a veil or hat of some sort. Oh well! I still think about looks I wish I could have rocked including this casual & cute ensemble. I love the idea of being able to reuse the wedding items and this definitely fits the bill. – Brittany
