Question What was your wedding dress like?

I had a short white dress that I could wear after our wedding. We eloped so it wasn't fancy.

Yours?

Wow! You look both look beautiful Amy and Heather!

Well, my dress was long, but simple. It had puffy sleeve shoulders. I will ask Pierre to scan a picture later today! You won't recognize me...

I didn't wear a gown. I had worked in the wedding industry for years and have seen some incredible gowns, but it just isn't me.

I wore an Anne Klein women's tuxedo. I loved it. It was very simple and elegant and I wouldn't change a thing.

Similar to these pictures, but with a camisole, sheer sleeves.

I wore a very pale ivory (I think they called it candlelight) sheath dress with short puffy sleeves. It had a lot of beading on it, and had a detachable train.

I have pictures to scan to show you all, but I need to hook up my scanner (can't find the software right now ) I'll post pictures when I can.

Mine was candlelight as well Michelle. It was odd, because next to ivory it looked white, and next to white it looked Ivory.

Mine was a "antique white"-- basically, ivory.  The top was beaded around the waist and front making it look like I was wearing a jacket and skirt.  I loved my dress!
