IT'S OVER!!!

Here are a couple of non-professional pictures: the bride and groom

and  the bride with her dad, about to walk down the "aisle"

I'll post more pictures when the photographer gives them to us...suffice it to
say that it was a picture-perfect day...the weather was glorious, the food sublime, the ceremony throat-catching, and the bride most beautiful. Her dress, made by a seamstress friend of hers, was ivory charmeuse with a lot of lace that has been in my family for a long time.Lots of music, toasts, wine, dancing,
(even moi!). Truly a day to remember!

And the MOB outfit? I don't yet have a full length picture, but here is the jacket

It's my beloved V2607, by Guy Laroche, in a gorgeous French Silk Brocade from Marcy Tilton. The colors are a little unusual for me; I fell in love with it at first sight. The pants (my Lynda Maynard custom pattern) are in a slightly iridescent dupioni from JRB Silks in a silver/blue tone.

You can see a little sliver of them here, and the backside, here:

Here is a picture of them hanging on the fence

along with the ECCO sandals I wore in a light gold. The wedding was largely on the grass or on the gravel driveway, so flat shoes were a necessity.

Both the jacket and the top were lined with a luscious orangey-red stretch silk charmeuse from Emma One Sock; it was heaven to wear. The pants were underlined with silk organza and the jacket was underlined with a wonderful top-quality lightweight fusible from Pam Erney at Fashion Sewing Supply. She was her usual fabulously helpful self in advising me what innards to use.

It was a beautiful event, and I'm glad it's over...it has been at least 6 months of hard work preparation, and now we can get back to our lovely lives. The Bride and Groom flew off to New York today, for a two-week honeymoon.
Yay!
