The Dress ...

I am reminded of those days not so long ago when we were shopping and planning weddings.  Girly girls weddings were so much fun.  I love all the little things.  Oldest girly girl chose baby blue and silver for her colors.

Her dress was a lovely fitted gown that had a slight mermaid shape to it.  It had these beautiful lace leaves all over it.  It was THE Dress and she knew it the moment she put it on.

We cried over this dress.  It was a bit more than we planned to spend - things were tight back then.  After a day of crying we went back and purchased it.  It was the right dress and she was lovely in it.

I made the veil she wore.  She found a headpiece and we added tiny silver leaves with just a touch of blue to it.  She wore the pearl necklace I made for her too.


Youngest girly girls wedding was at the same church her sister got married at.  She choose a black and white theme for her wedding.  She had looked on line and found lovely dress but when she went to try it on it didn't hang right at all.  Little Sweet Pea was already in the making and He had other plans for her.

This dress fit perfectly when she put it on.  She was comfortable and if I remember correctly I think she even said she felt pretty in this dress.  We all loved it !  I did add tiny little satin straps to it for her so she wouldn't have to worry about it inching down as she spent her special day in it.

Ah the shoes !  She wore a sweet little flat with a jeweled button that I sewed on for her.  I did lots of little things for both of my girly girls weddings and enjoyed every minute of it !

Daddy provided the cakes for the event.  Each girl choose her design.  They did a lovely job of creating what my girly girls wanted !  Ah wedding daze - I think I already miss fussing over all the details !
