Handmade Weddings: Who Says Brides Get to Have all the Fun?
Article Header Image

Bridesmaids, rebel! Guests, break that cardinal rule and out-shine the bride!

By this point, some of you readers who *aren't getting married* may be rolling your eyes a bit at the Handmade Wedding Series, but here's some color to refresh those eyes tired of gauzy white and fluffy pink! After all, there's one thing we can all relate to, right? An invite to a party = I need to get a dress.  For men, we're taking this as an excuse to find something totally unique and handmade.

A lot of beautiful mermaidy dresses here! I'm going to be a bridesmaid for the first time this summer...after the fifth time I probably won't be so excited ;)

Love the dresses you picked. If I were to get married today I would easily pick out retro bridesmaid dresses instead of the typical bridesmaid dress.

I made my own dress for my sister's wedding, chiffon and duponi,and I bought a handmade corset.
She let me wear whatever I wanted!
