From beaches to the helter skelter of Ho Chi Minh city

Got my cake cutting gown. YAY! I’m going to be a Grecian Goddess
I’ve only ever seen this idea of a “Cake Cutting” gown at Vietnamese weddings. I “think” it’s just their spin on the “going away” outfits that are more common in westernised weddings. I’d originally green for my bridesmaids, but when that idea fell through, I was lucky enough to find this dress, so… Read More
