Black tie gala pictures

[Allisonfaye]

Thought you guys might like to see the final product.

The event turned out to be outdoors at Millenium Park in Chicago. It was picture perfect weather (not typically humid and miserable for Chicago summer). There were about 1000 people there, from all over the country. It was fun to see what all of the women wore. It ran the gamut from way too casual to way too sexy. haha.

It was a big, huge secret who the entertainment was going to be until the second that the performer came on stage. It was Elton John. Then after that, there was a big fireworks display and a band and dancing, which unfortunately, we couldn''t stay for. It was already late and I had to get home to nurse the baby and relieve the sitter.

Thanks for all of your fashion tips! I will definately consult you guys next time I have anything to go to.

I love your dress....elegant and perfect....and what little I can see of the shoes...darling!!

Is there a thread somewhere talking about your decisions? couldn''t find one. Always on the lookout for bling...I think that''s your enviable ruby on your right hand, isn''t it? Have you posted your ER somewhere?

You just look lovely....thanks for posting!!

Allison, you look like the belle of the ball. Stunning dress and your husband has scrubbed up well too. What a handsome pair. I hope you get a chance to wear the dress again, I bet you felt a million dollars in it. Thanks for sharing the photos.
