I've got a vintage Black brides post coming up soon. The traffic tracker I have on this blog is really handy! Apparently, a lot of people are finding my blog while searching for vintage bridal photos and gown styles. I'll do what I can to cater to my readers.

And of course, wedding photos are aspirational. If I ever get married, I'm definitely going down the aisle in a 1950s silhouette.
