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.

    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….

  16. heather July 16, 2010 at 12:36 pm #

    beautiful! you both look stunning.

    Absolutely beautiful! I love that brooch, and the bouquet is stunning too. You look lovely.

  20. Debra July 16, 2010 at 12:45 pm #

    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.

    Darling. Your brooch, is it vintage – is there a story behind it?

  35. Kj July 16, 2010 at 7:17 pm #
