This weekend Mr Pretzel and I are going to decorate our townhouse for Christmas. In my family it has always been a tradition that my brother and I get new Christmas ornaments each year. I love decorating the tree and every time I pull out another ornament it brings with it memories. One year we all got clay skiers that resembled each of us, another year, ruby red apples with our names in gold. As a result of my parents’ tradition, both my brother and I have a tree full of memories.
This year I ordered Mr Pretzel and myself an ornament to mark the year of our engagement. While I was shopping online I saw a couple contenders for next year’s ornament as newlyweds. Perhaps my favorite is this initialized red and white number.
My brain has been swimming with all things vintage wedding lately and this ornament made me think of a red and white vintage party dress that I saw on Etsy (note: the dress sold earlier last week- *pout*).
It would make a great wedding dress for a brave bride. It doesn’t take much to get my mind turning, and my brain started to think of a fabulous red and white vintage wedding.
Seriously? SWOON… I almost started to rethink our colors… almost.
Have the holidays inspired your wedding ideas?

Fabulous! I adore the cake. I was thinking of doing a red ornament, too. : )
Seriously, so cute! That ruffled red clutch is awesome.
Love the ornament! Where did you find it?
Awww, I love the ornament. I know what you mean about your head swimming with all things wedding!
@Mrs Mossman: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=34461003 it sold out- but the seller makes them herself- so I am sure you could request something similar.
who wouldn’t want that dress! love the ornament, by the way.
I love that dress and cake! I want to wear the dress every day.
@Cole B: me too… making this board actually got my dress search de-railed and has caused me a ton of stress- all because i LOVE this dress.
I LOVE your board 
and not just b/c I have that red clutch 
Um, I’m saving this board! I don’t have colors yet, and it’s adorable!
Those shoes and that dress are to die for! I wish I could pull off that look. I just end up looking like a retro tranny because of my way-too-tallness. Sad day.

Mrs. Pretzel, Seattle Age and Occupation: 32 Learning, Training, and Development Specialist Fiance's Age and Occupation: 28 Manufacturing Engineer Engagement Date: September 2, 2009 Wedding Date: July 2010 Venue: Catholic Church & The Engine Room at Georgetown Studios About Me: I’m just a thirty-something girl who never dreamed of weddings, poofy dresses, or ritzy receptions. I am a rabid knitter, except recently, wedding projects have replaced my yarn and needles. I’ve been fiercely independent since the age of 2 and 30 years later I think my family and friends had given up on me settling down and getting married. Ironically, I had to go all the way to Seattle to find a boy from Purdue. We fell in love over Seattle Beers and cooking together. I love NASCAR, he loves Legos. I can talk like a Muppet and he can fit a whole McDonald’s cheeseburger in his mouth. We are a two reception couple, currently planning a brewery inspired bash.
