My Inspiration

As a little girl I would browse my Grandparent's wedding album over and over again. Drooling over all the pretty lace and tiny 'simple' details. Growing up I always knew I'd want a vintage dress...and a vintage style wedding. Old 1956 Chevy picking us up at the church...all my girls wearing cute little boleros. Long traditional veil...The works. I even thought I'd have a winter wedding with a white fur wrap and hand muffs. Now I think.. OVER KILL! But it would have been lovely. However, I'm not a millionaire. And already think I've spent enough of my Dad's money. What I have so far is PERFECT. And our wedding will be perfect...even with some minor 'mishaps'!

Now I want to share some old wedding photos from my Grandma and my Busia (Great-Grandma in Polish).

Here is Busia and Gagie (Great-Grandpa). She was only 16. Isn't she so lovely? I am unsure of the date. But I think it was the 1930's..


Here is my Grandparents wedding photo. May 12, 1956.

Here are some random photos that I adore..........

First Dance ("Let me call you sweetheart dance")

Cake!

Aren't the professional pictures done in the 1950's amazing for their time?

Here is their 50th Anniversary.
