I'm weird. There are certain things I am INCREDIBLY picky about, to the point of RARELY being able to find even a single specimen that I can not only tolerate, but actually even like. Two categories that come to mind are handbags and wedding dresses.
So imagine my surprise when I found wedding dresses that I not only tolerated but loved on our very own interweb. Life still manages to surprise my jaded self.

Now these next ones are REALLY SWEET. All by my new hero: Raimon Bundo
Love the corset seams and the fact that this one is called "Soledad."
Love the creaminess (no white dress for me!) and richness of these gowns. Especially the brocade one and the one with the raw lace along the bodice. Love the lace cap sleeves on the top one. OOo. And see below. You see those elbow lacy glovey things. I want them. They are way better than gloves. I NEED them. Let's get one thing clear: when it comes to my wedding attire I am pulling out all the stops. Going for the gusto. I want a poufy ornate dress, hair ornaments, elbow covers, the whole enchilada. And then some.
You know what I LOVE about Mr. Bundo? The way he isn't afraid to push the boundaries of what a wedding gown "should" be. He marches to the beat of his own drum. For instance, look at his salsa-influenced little numbers below:
What? Not impressed? Okay, then, look at his DA VINCI inspired dresses.
Pow. Take that, suckers.
Funky swimsuit from lascivious first spotted in zink.
You know how I was saying I want hair ornaments for my wedding? Some inspiration below from Victor Osborne (top photos) and Bonbon Oiseau (bottom). Definitely something with feathers. ;)
Saw Selvedge magazine the other day in a bookstore. It's a gorgeous textile mag put out 6 times a year. But the price tag? 25 bones! Anyways, here's some exerpts.
And finally, interesting fashion photography below from Mi-zo. Love the darkness with the pops of color. And that lacy headgear thing? SO perfect for my wedding!!! ;) ;) (double wink!)
Is that a badminton racket in the girls hand there in that one where the night scene turns to black and white? SO random. Love it.
Okay, Everybody! Clap your hands and say, "Yeah!"
