Pinning or pining?

[brdgt]

I broke down and joined Pinterest. I'm trepidatious because I can see how it could feed into envy rather than inspiration. I believe strongly in being content with what you have rather than frustrating your life with wanting things beyond your means or values. BUT, it seems like it might be useful for wedding planning - so here I go!

Speaking of, if you are on there, feel free to give me some input on some wedding dress ideas. I'm feeling very uninspired right now (and it's not like I have to decide any time soon, either).

I "liked" my faves too. I wanted a short dress too (not tea length - that makes my legs look too stubby) and ended up buying an ivory colored bridesmaid dress. The nice thing about that was I could try it on. I was too nervous to buy a custom dress on Etsy that I couldn't return!

I searched Ebay, Etsy and other places like mad trying to find this vintage dress for my wedding, to no avail. Okay, not helpful to share non-purchasable dresses but it reminded me of your pins:

I've looked at some Bridesmaid's dresses, but they still scream "WEDDING!" to me. Maybe it's the fabrics and trends right now.

Thanks for the link! I found the "real weddings" on Etsy really heartening to my cantankerous Anti Wedding Industrial Complex heart. As long as I treat this like a party that we get married at, I think I can get excited about the planning.
