Alison Pill wore a yellow 1930s dress from Etsy for her wedding: awesome?

For some reason, I thought Alison Pill was already married, but that’s because I confused her with Amber Tamblyn, which I know is practically sacrilegious for some people (“some people” = Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants-loonies). It’s funny the way my mind works sometimes, because not only did I confuse the two actresses, but I had good reason to confuse these wedding stories: both brides wore yellow! When Amber married David Cross in 2012, she wore a marigold-yellow gown and went shoeless. When Alison Pill married Joshua Leonard over the weekend, she also wore yellow!

I’m including some of the Instagram pics of the wedding in this post, and you can see more here. Pill is 29 and her new husband is 39. They were engaged for four months (I have no memory of their engagement announcement?). The wedding looked pretty hipster, and Pill’s rep told E! News that the wedding was a “Quaker-inspired ceremony.” Are they Quakers though? Or did they just read about Quaker-inspired ceremonies in the latest issue of Hipster Bride?

As for Alison’s yellow dress, it’s not designer. She bought it on Etsy and it’s legitimately a 1930s vintage dress, probably not intended as a wedding gown, but it looks fine. I enjoy a modest sleeve, the neckline is flattering and I like that she could actual dance in her dress. I guess she thought she had to be blonde to pull off a yellow dress? I remember when she was a redhead – I actually associate her more with ginger hair, which may be yet another reason I confused her with Amber Tamblyn.
