Bridals

My best friend, Maren, made my wedding dress out of Ivory Dupioni Silk and Ivory lace we ordered out of California. I had a dream long before I ever met Alan and envisioned a dress I was wearing at my own reception. I went to Maren because she is brilliant! We sketched things out a little and she made this wonderful confection of loveliness! She exceeded her brilliance and now I have my dream dress. (For the wedding day itself, I wore a petticoat underneath to give it some fullness)

My wedding colors are chocolate brown, tan, khaki, beige, sage green in all hues, cream, ivory and just a splash of eggplant. I picked out my flowers for my bouquet from Michael's, Porter's and Madsen's Ben Franklin and Maren helped tape the whole thing together after I arranged it the way I wanted. It turned out beautiful.

When the dress and the bouquet were done, Maren and I ran down to Freeman Park down by the river and snapped a couple quick photos.

Wedding photos to follow soon, I hope! :)
