During the holiday break, my mother and I visited the Cincinnati Art Museum to see the "Wedded Perfection: Two Centuries of Wedding Gowns" exhibit. Not only did I fall in love with the dresses, I feel in love with some of their gift shop items. The gift shop featured rhinestoned and mirrored trees decorated with an abundance of glittering ornaments. I wanted more than anything for those trees to go home with me. Who cares about the ornaments... you can find those anywhere, but the trees were magnificent.

In addition, I heart the elegance of the Cincinnati Art Museum architecture. I have dreamed of having my wedding reception there, but had to keep dreaming since it only holds 150 people. Below is a shot of the grand staircase leading to the area where wedding receptions are held.
How elegant!
I highly recommend a visit to the Cincinnati Art Museum if you are looking for an afternoon of entertainment. After all, admission is free. Please note, the wedding dress exhibit is only open to January 30th so hurry over before you miss out!
