My Dress!
My dress is from Demetrio's. Before Dan and I were officially engaged (although I knew it was coming!) my sister I went shopping, just to see what was out there and how much to expect to spend. Neither one of us had any idea of what a reasonable price would be, or even what I wanted exactly. This only thing I knew for certain was that I did NOT want a strapless dress, and no glitter/sparkles/sequins...just not my style. I love the look of antique lace, though, and fell in love with this dress. I love the combination of the old-fashioned alencon lace and the more modern look of the horizontal satin ribbons. I'm pretty tall (5'11"), and we both thought that this look was a good one for a tall girl.
Dan is planning on wearing a black suit from Joseph A. Bank (their stays-cool three button) with an ivory tie. We each have only one attendant, and his best man will also wear a suit (color yet to be determined), with a purple tie. My maid of honor chose her dress herself. I originally wanted her to wear a tropical soft lime green, but the color looked terrible on her! So we settled on purple, since I wanted mostly green and purple orchids for the flowers. It is an Alfred Sung tiered organdy strapless.
