So I haven't had a chance to mention Kim & Ben's wedding day yet! Oh.It.Was.So.Delightful! WAIT till you see Kim's dress! OK, I can't even wait...do you see the photo below? I saw this gorgeous dress hanging on the door and I thought "Oh my gosh! How sweet!" I just loved the little tucks on the bottom with the flowers...

And then I was absolutely awestruck when...they brought the train in! How many times have you seen a dress that has such a magnificent train that it is separate to the dress!!!!! I was so excited!

And here's the yummiest part of this dress; Kim went to Florida to take a look at some AMAZING DESIGNER gowns that are sold through Brides Against Breast Cancer. Ladies---let me tell you something, if you have never heard of this then Merry Christmas to You! This is a non-profit fundraising organization that holds around 32 bridal shows a year displaying DESIGNER gowns and other gowns that have been donated in the name of Breast Cancer Research. Over 50% of these gowns are brand new and sent directly from the designers themselves. Kim paid around $800 for a dress that would have cost over $2000 in the stores...and her dress was STUNNING. Shopping with a cause! I love it!

Just look at the detail around the top of the train...

And on top of it all, Kim was a DIY'er! She made so many things in this wedding I was so impressed! She made the adorable feathery comb in her hair and her earrings (and the bridesmaids necklaces and earrings, not shown)
