For anyone out there planning a wedding…..I feel your pain.  😉  Pretty glad I’m on the other side of that madness now!  It was so much work, but completely worth it in the end, of course.

Possibly the most exhausting thing about wedding planning is having to make millions of decisions, big and small, every day for roughly a year.  Even for the most opinionated and decisive people out there, making sustained, coherent decisions like that will wear you down.  After a while, you get this thing called Wedding Brain {yes, that is the scientific term for it}.  Wedding Brain is different for everyone, but one of its main symptoms is rash, expensive, wedding related purchases.

I fell victim to Wedding Brain in the form of a beautiful vintage lace dress.  There it was in all its lacy vintage glory, for sale online and in my size!  “It’d be perfect for the rehearsal and groom’s dinner!” I said.  “It’d look so cute if I got it altered to have an open back!” I mused.  “It fits our ‘theme’ perfectly!” I lamented.

I bought it.

And then, due to the fact that our rehearsal was outside on a drizzly, cool September day and the groom’s dinner was a BBQ picnic followed by a vigorous folk-dance…I never wore the beautiful lacy dress.  It has been shut away in my closet for months now, sadly.  So here I am selling it for the same price I so rashly bought it for.

Behold, the very lovely specimen:

Reusing an old dress rather than buying a brand new one would be a lovely touch to a green wedding.  Find out more information about this beaut and see more pictures of it on the OnceWed listing I created.
