That Dream Day - Wedding Edition

I love wedding photos, especially antique ones.

  

 Technically this is an old debutante photo:

but it conjures up those images from that special day when you're all in white looking hot.  

I've had weddings on my mind thanks to one of my lovely friends (more on that later).  

And I adore celebrity wedding photos from days long gone.

People often think Bianca wore a pant suit when she married Mick Jagger but that's because they get distracted by her plunging neckline.  So ridiculous.

Just look at Bridget Bardot! 

So demure!  And I didn't know she married Timothy Dalton.

 Then there's the queen, Ms. Elizabeth Taylor and her two weddings to Richard Burton.

 I know this isn't healthy but I would love a love like theirs.  Just for a day.  I mean one month.  I mean one year.  That's it. 

Actually I wouldn't mind a marriage like the one she had to Mike Todd.  Plus they had wedding ceremonies in Spain AND Mexico.  That's my dream!

Just ignore the creepy look Eddie Fisher 

is giving her on her wedding day.

Dreamy Decor Details

As a game (and to stall organizing my room) I was looking at old photos I have collected through the years and puzzling together which items would best fill this Room:

No, it's not my room, it belongs to 

a young L.A. actress I have not heard of.   

To start, I would hang outdoor lights 

from Restoration Hardware indoors,

And a faux-animal head or two 

(I know! they look so real) from Anthropologie,

I would add a small side table and drape this Snow Grid tablecloth (also from Anthropologie) over it,

And display some vintage brass candle sticks (candles might be optional as I do not want them to drip wax on my pretty tablecloth).

 I think to contribute to the antiquated feel some needlepoint would be in order and what better form of needlepoint than a line or two from The Smiths?

Or Kanye West.

To top it off I would add a cashmere pillow from Armand Diradourian using my favorite motif, the tree.  

Or a piece of fruit.

Or a snake. 

 Ha! Were you expecting the pillows to have a Biblical Creation Theme?  Not to make light of the temptations in the Garden of Eden, but I would love to have all three scattered around the house.  

And since I am fond of the macabre, I would need it in black.
