My wedding cloche: The lucky last-minute find
Although I knew I wanted to wear a veil for the ceremony, since early in the planning stage I had been interested in wearing a 1920s-style cloche hat for the reception. I had even had a eBay seller make me a 1920s-style had. Although the hat was very cute, I was thrilled when we found a honest-to-goodness 1920s cloche at the last minute... and it matched.
My mom found the cloche quite literally the day before the wedding, at a flea market right around the corner from the bed and breakfast we were staying at. It was an astonishingly perfect match for the dress. I wore the cloche for some of the pictures taken before the ceremony, and then again for the reception. I got tons of compliments on it, too!
Enough said -- the pictures will do the rest of the talking:

wedding when she found her beautiful 1929 wedding gown on eBay. She and her husband sleep in a 1920s brass bed, eat at a 1920s dining table, and live in a
1920s home in Denver, CO.
