Another day, another something to covet
By Never teh BrideIt’s a good thing I’m not in Sydney, Australia right now. I mean, seriously, what is it with the absolutely fantastic dresses that come out of that country? First there was Culture Shock, and now I find Gallery Serpentine via my fabulous friend Kristina.
Most brides don’t dream of walking down the aisle in jeweled green…what is that, PVC?…but I know there are at least a few of you out there.
I still cry a little inside when I think about all the amazing colored gowns I found AFTER I tied the knot. Oh, I looked at dresses in reds and greens and blues, but all of the ones I found looked chinzy or promish or too solidly 80s to be retro cool.

It’s been my dream to one day own a gorgeous bespoke corset like the ones pictured. The closest I came was the whale-boning on my wedding sari blouse, but one day I’m determined to get a corset (esp. from Dark Garden!).

Those gowns are superfantastic, and I think it is safe to say that I am totally in lust with them.
