Handmade blue wedding dress
Thanks to offbeat reader Danielle for emailing me about these amazing photos from the schoolhouse wedding of Lulu Bliss.
The bride made her 1950s-style tea-length dress by hand (she reports it took about 100 hours) and if you look carefully, you’ll see red crinoline peeking out the bottom. (Colored crinoline FTW!) We all know I’m partial to wedding hats, and this whimsical one is no exception.
To see more from Lulu’s wedding (the happy couple on bikes! a wedding dog! walking down the aisle together!), head on over to Lulu’s picture-heavy blog post.

We had a great wedding weekend and I have to say it was 100% what we wanted, no one telling us what to do. Thanks for all the info I got from this site and for being so supportive of brides who don’t want the traditional!

And Thank You LuLu for mentioning the 100 hours it took to make your gown. Few Brides understand the Why of the pricetag.
