Wedding Gowns

"There is something about a
wedding gown prettier than any
other gown in the world."
        ~Douglas Jerrod, 1859

   I'm sorry if my posts are a little more infrequent lately. I swear that this week has passed with hardly two minutes between activities for me to rest! As exciting as wedding preparations are I am looking forward to quieter days. Only two more weeks left to plan! I can hardly believe it. Where has May gone? Back when my sister first announced she was getting married I started drawing new sketches of wedding gowns to put myself in the proper frame of mind. If you remember, last June I did a series of bridal dresses one of which I used for my sister's bridal shower invitations. Here are six new gowns! I hope that you like them and will tell me which are your favorites. I loved the one called 'Tess' so much that I had prints made back in April which are available on my Etsy Shop along with two of my 2011 favorites as a Wedding Gown Trio.  Let me know what you think! I really do love to hear from everyone!

    Hi Jennelise! These are all incredible! But I think you can guess which one would be my favorite. :)

    Before I was married, I used to do sketches of wedding dresses, too. None so lovely as yours but maybe I'll dig them up and take a look at them.

    Wishing you and your sister and family all the very best for the wedding.

      Thankyou! I wanted to do a traditional full skirt dress in a different color - Eloise was the result :) I appreciate your kind words!

    There are many dissimilar types of weddings conducted all over the United States today. Some individuals decide to have a theme wedding, such as a tropical beach party or renaissance themed wedding.
