plan a modern wedding in the middle of the country

Completely in love with the idea of brides “making a change” between the ceremony and reception.  Either in the form of switching to a shorter dress, or in the form of an accessory.

This bride wore a great taupe-colored belt with her gown for her ceremony.

And, she changed into a black belt for her reception. It’s such a small detail, but it can really make a difference, or leave an impression on guests.

I need a bride to wear necklaces like this on her wedding day.  I would so do it, but I definitely plan on wearing this fantastic red bolero, so those necklaces wouldn’t work right.  But then again I could scrap the bolero idea…

If you do this, please take pictures and send them to me so I can splash them all over this page.

I interrupt the regularly scheduled post for this slot, to tell you all how badly I need this.

I first saw it here:

And it was after reading that post on Style Me Pretty that I decided I needed one.  After all, it will be Fall.  I have already asked the seller if they can make it without the flowers.  But at any rate, I love this bolero.  It’s unexpected, which I love.

Le swoon.  Man, I love Etsy.
