My Wedding Dress
Brandon and I were married May 22, 2004. Recently, a few of you have asked to see my wedding dress because I mentioned that it was hanging in the closet I’ve been organizing. Not being one to disappoint, here it is.
I wore a white silk dress by Watters & Watters. I also wore red lipstick, my hair in a bun with my mom’s veil, simple stud earrings, and a big sparkly brooch on my dress. Brandon wore his suit with a pink tie and a lily of the valley boutonniere. My bouquet was made of pink peonies, lilies, old-fashioned roses, and lily of the valley.

Gorgeous. Simply stunning. Makes me wish I still had my wedding dress but sadly I sold it so I could get family photos.
Stylish & elegant! :)
I’m glad to know that I was not the only one thinking about your wedding dress…beautiful choice.
So classy and pretty!!
I’m glad you posted these, i was curious too :)!
I think you look FAB in the off-the-shoulder look. Brandon looks so young and in love!
love it! I am fascinated by wedding dresses, and the meaning embedded in them. I was only married 11 months, but kept my wedding dress for 7 years! I finally had to cut ties with it and just tossed it in the trash….
beautiful! you both look stunning.
GORGEOUS!
Such a pretty dress! Love the brooch, too :)
Absolutely beautiful! I love that brooch, and the bouquet is stunning too. You look lovely.
You look lovely, as always — very classy bride + handsome groom. I agree, your dress is timeless and elegant. Will you save it for Eleanor?
I got married the same day! My dress is in my hall closet, but it stayed at my parents’ house for at least 5 years before my mom insisted that I take it! I guess I’ll keep it in case my 9 month old daughter wants to use some part of it for her wedding.
:) does it feel like 6 years??
lovely!!
i would love to hear how he proposed :D
awe… so simple & pretty!! :)
So, so sweet! I have seen these before but I love them just the same. The brooch is so you and of course another design detail that I would have never thought of but so perfectly you!
love!
Peonies are my very favorite- excellent choice.
Gorgeous! And so very very you! I love it!
I just LOVE seeing wedding pictures. Thanks for posting Nicole. I love the off-the shoulder look.
can we see more pics of your wedding? i’m sure it was very stylish!
I love the brooch! Your wedding anniversary is the also my birthday. Double hurray! :D
Lovely! Now, what is that location? U. of Chicago area? Looks familiar!
Best,
Bonnie
Thanks for sharing! Your whole look was just lovely, as I knew it would be, so beautiful. It looks like it was a wonderful day.
Darling. Your brooch, is it vintage – is there a story behind it?
Beautiful, love the red lipstick.
As everyone has already stated – you look gorgeous and Brandon very dashing! Lovely.
So sweet! I wish I had a few more photos with my bouquet; orchids, lillies, roses, and sweet peas. ::sigh::
And you got married on my daughter’s fourth birthday! Oh, happy day!!

Just lovely!
You look so beautiful! Classic, elegant, feminine!
Absolutely stunning!
Classic. Stunning. Beautiful.
I love the pink tie!
Gorgeous! Now I want to see the wedding reception pictures…
So sweet. You looked gorgeous Nicole. I love the neckline.
It’s lovely!
Very elegant. Just beautiful. I really love it. Makes me want to do it all over again! (lol, no not really, but the dress is lovely). Thank you for a great blog too, I’m really enjoying it – a great source of inspiration.
Such elegance! I love the touches, the brooch, the bouquet, the tie.
Wow, i love the style of your dress and the length of your veil. So elegant. You were a beautiful bride!
GORGEOUS. you, the dress, the flowers…
Awwww! Lovely!
beautiful!
You look beautiful! It reminds me of my wedding. I got married in April in a very similar Watters dress (they make such beautiful and simple dresses) and my husband wore a black suit with a pink tie! I guess great minds think alike!
Love seeing your wedding photos! You look beautiful.
You have the same wedding date as the Princes of Asturias!
You both look so elegant and timeless – thanks for sharing again! I have an unhealthy addiction to wedding photos and stories :)
