You guys!!!! YOU GUYS!!! I am pinching myself over and over! We won the Apartment Therapy Homie for Best Home Project DIY Blog!!
I am so excited I don’t even know myself right now!!
I have to give the hugest thank you in the world to every single person that voted and shared and cheered us on. THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart!!
It was so humbling, inspiring, exciting, and every other word in the English language for something so dang incredible to have happened. It was wonderful to see how everyone rallied together to push it through.
You guys, we did it!!
For those that are new to Vintage Revivals, welcome to the family!! We are a crazy bunch, but we are glad to have ya!
The bridesmaid photoshoot was a last minute idea, and honestly I am so relieved that you guys put up with my weirdness.
So the best way that I could think of to show you how INCREDIBLY grateful for your support is of course, another one. Dont worry, the awesome DIY starts back up on Monday. But for today, we are going to a wedding…
All joking aside, I really do love and appreciate every one of you!!
I hope this is the dress your sister is wearing next month 🙂 Congrats!

OH. MY. GOSH! You make me laugh so hard. For starters CONGRATS, you deserve it big time. Secondly, your so gorg. that the gag me 80’s dress doesn’t matter. Third the mascara… and that is all!
I feel like my mom probably made that wedding veil haha. She was the queen of wedding viels for a long time and sold to stores all over. Her name is Jill Payne or Jillian Viels. ha
Just curious if you remember where it was from, Im sure she would love to see this!
Oh my. I didn’t think you could top the bridesmaid photo shoot, but I think you just did! Congratulations! That’s awesome!
🙂 Congrats 🙂
Congrats! Love your bridal photo shoot!!! lol
You are so photogenic! Even in that crazy headpiece and dress you look beautiful! Love the “emotional” shots! What a great sense of humor you have! Congratulations on your win!
You’re gorg! And hilarious!!!! Xoxo
Congrats!! You totally deserve this. This made me laugh on a day that I needed to. I didn’t know if you could top the bridesmaid photo shoot, but you definitely did.
Awww….you deserved it. And you make a lovely bride–even with mascara running down your face.
Awesome post! You crack me up! So fun 🙂 And congratulations, you really have a wonderfully unique style of approaching DIY and how you express yourself in writing, Great blog! 🙂
Congrats my little role model!
Pha! Awesome. Congrats again, lady!
Too funny! ….but my question is, where did you ever get those bridesmaids dresses? Surely, not even thrift shops would still be selling those???
For the first time ever do i read comments to find that out too! So i second this question, where on EARTH?! Makes me think of the movie 27 Dresses, hehehe.
Re-read the bridesmaid post and what do you know, there it is: Butterfields Antiques on St. George Blvd. 🙂
I just have to say you are amazing, and totally deserve to be recognized. Also, I could never bring myself to do a photo shoot on my front porch. I wish I could see inside your neighbors heads. Love your guts!
Erin! This was actually on the back porch on my In Laws. BUT. Every year we do a hilarious Christmas picture and this year we did it in our driveway and totally had neighbors see it (you can check it out in the bloopers https://vintagerevivals.com/2013/12/how-the-grinch-stole-christmas-christmas-photo-2013.html) The good news, our neighbors think we are crazy. The bad news, they dont ask us for stuff…actually that might be double good news. 🙂

Congrats! That is so exciting, I love seeing all your accomplishments unfold. I feel proud that I “know” you. Can wait to see what’s coming next!
Holy cow, that’s huge!!! The award, not the dress. Well, actually that bow on the back of the dress is sort of huge itself! Very 1993. I would know because I got married with a hug bow on my butt in 1993. Looking back, not a great look! Congrats on the award though!
ga-rul – dat dress… looks just like mine from 1989 😉 congrats on the award!! love YOUR guts
Holy moly! Your blog looks fantastic, can’t wait to really look around. Congrats on the homie award, that’s how I found you
