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.
beautiful !
Lovely! I wore a Watters & Watters dress too.

I knew there had to be pink! Just lovely.

You look gorgeous and it was a timeless choice. Thanks for sharing.
Gorgeous, as usual!
What a lovely couple. You both look wonderful. I do love your dress.
Aw! I love these photos. You both look wonderful, and wonderfully happy.

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!!

So sweet. You looked gorgeous Nicole. I love the neckline.

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.
