I was married in 2010 at an old Victorian Home in the foothills. We had a very small ceremony outside among the redwoods. This dress is actually the second dress I bought. There are people in my social circle that will never let me live that down. This dress was about $1800. The little lace jacket was $600. My veil was about $100.

Good lawd lady! Now I'm girl crushing back on you!!!! You are the high end model version of my wedding ensemble. The lace gown, the lace bolero. Stunning!

Is this too much?

Where is @Dancing Fire with commentary?

Married 41 years ago today in 1977! This was fairly typical of the style back then. I really loved my dress but by today's standards, we look very dated - but then we are - lol!

Happy anniversary! Time has been kind to you. You still have the same cute face!

Here is the only pic that I will be able to find easily. My portrait that hangs in the closet, lol.
Married in 2001.

Had I not seen you in person, I'd be convinced that this was one of those stock photos of a model and dog pulled from a picture frame.

Aww, thanks Pinto! My mother was very nervous during the photo session. She was terrified that my dog would jump up on my Priscilla of Boston gown. Lol, it was quite a day!

Oh my gosh, what beautiful brides (and handsome grooms).

Sharon, @canuk-gal, you are radiant.
(Haha making up for some missing pics from you know who I will happily share).

@MissGotRocks, Happy Anniversary.

We got married at city hall 3 months before the scheduled "big" wedding because I finally felt sure and ready and all of a sudden I wanted to marry the love of my life as soon as I could. So spontaneously (which is so not me) I said let's elope despite the fact our planned wedding was 3 months away and so we did. I cannot find pics of the polka dot A line above the knee dress I wore when we were married by the Judge at City Hall but here's what I wore three months later.

We got married at a "kitschy" place called The Grand Prospect Hall -it was perfect for our fun wedding. The wedding place was grandiose but tongue in cheek and we both just knew it was the place we wanted to get married. It really was very low key planning and neither of us were stressed in the time leading up to or during the day. In fact the manager at The Grand Prospect said he had never seen such a calm and cool bride. Haha that is not really my MO but that day it sure was. And we all had a blast. Wonderful memories and I wouldn't have changed a thing.


With my flower girls and the ring bearer. My nieces and nephew. My other nieces were not yet born at the time.



I did not like the wedding veil-it was just too much veil for me but I wore it as a favor to my mom who borrowed the veil from her best friend and it meant something to the both of them that I wear it so I did. I forget the designer (because I am not into that) but it was a famous designer.



The dress was a sample dress I got for 1/3 the price but still it was the most I had ever spent on a dress ever. Crazy for one day but again worth it completely. It was a wonderful day.




I don't think we missed one dance.







Cutting the cake to "When I'm 64". Oops we are almost there.



Dancing till we couldn't dance anymore





At the end of the evening when everyone had gone. We didn't hire a photographer (and didn't do video) but instead had our good friend Bob who is a dentist but also an artist take photos for us. It was the perfect low key and non intrusive type of photography we wanted. My good friend Tom also took some nice photos.



That's all folks.

What a great thread and some beautiful PS couples! My first wedding, in the mid 70's, was a garden wedding. I made my dress for all of $20.00 and I also made my groom's jacket! fast forward to my last marriage at the county registrar' office a year ago where we just happened to have on matching blue T shirts!

Oh, thank you! Your photo really does look like it should be in a magazine!! You were a gorgeous bride! I LOVE that you had your pup with you! I wish I could have done that but my girl would have knocked down my grandma and eaten the cake before the ceremony!

@Asscherhalo_lover I adore the lace work on your dress, especially the cap sleeves. It's so romantic!

I absolutely love those sleeves, too. ...and, well, the whole gown. But especially the sleeves!!!

1st wedding was in a church. I threw out the pictures when I got divorced. Second wedding was a civil ceremony in Rome at Campidoglio wedding hall (stock photo).
The dress was $640, had a shawl, crystals & embroidered flowers, fabric color was light champagne. Nothing in my hair and I can't remember what the bouquet looked like.

Matata,

Your picture is very classy. It looks as if it could be in a fashion magazine. At least without your husband's feet.

Congratulations, MGR, and I love your dress. I think it is incredibly feminine and classic.

@Bonfire I think we had the same hat! Or darn close to it. My dress and hat/veil were ivory, which was almost scandalous in 1983, lol. The hat had a row of pearls around the top part with lace, the brim was satin covered.

 

[AGBF]

Ceg, I love the picture you posted!!! You look beautiful!

I agree, and there is something especially appealing about the way you are interacting with your puppy, ceg. You look like someone out of Camelot (Kennedy). (That is a compliment.)

[AGBF]

Wow!!!

[LJsapphire]

Thanks for the compliments @Ellen and @AGBF the back of the dress (and the train) is what sold it to me.
My next one I think will be a 1950s style one.
