The museum itself is huge...
That is, until our wedding {seems so far away, right?!}. Because we are in the midst of planning, I just had to attend the wedding dress exhibit at The Victoria + Albert Museum. Ross, on the other hand, could've cared less about dresses dating from 1775-2014 {"I only care about yours"- well played, sir, well played}, so we visited the free exhibits together, and I went back by myself to buy a ticket for the bridal exhibit {Note: everyone should attend a museum alone at some point}. The museum itself is huge... I love the message above. So, kiddos, that one's for you ;). ...with ornate displays like the ones below... ...the museum also has a beautiful cafe, which is a must see.... However, the icing on the cake was definitely the wedding dresses! I managed to snap a few photos, despite there being a seemingly strict "no photo policy" {some rules were meant to be broken, especially when documenting bridal fashion!}. White dresses were made popular by Queen Victoria. Women of lower class would wear dresses with color, like the one above {1840}. How does a bride move in the dress above? Love the simplicity of this dress! My favorite part of this exclusive exhibit, ending March 15? The video of Kate and Prince William's wedding. I could have sat and watched their wedding on repeat the entire day. The only thing better would have been a display of Kate's dress. I would have died!
