    I came across your page as I was searching for ideas on ways to give new life to doilies (I was recently given an entire box of vintage linens from an auction) and found these dresses to be so breathtakingly beautiful. Thank you so much for posting them!

    I just love the instagram frame as well as the brightly colored bouquets wrapped in black & white. So much inspiration. Wish I could get married again so I could have an awesome wedding. 😉
