Regarding white wedding gowns: My grandmother wore a white dress (complete with a white parasol) circa 1914. She was a Jewish immigrant and lived in Brooklyn. I have no idea what my mother wore because there were no pictures (my Uncle forgot to take the lens cap off) and she didn't save the dress so I could see it. (Now before you ladies start doing math as to how Ellebud's grandmother could be married in 1912 and I have a teenage daughter...my mother married very late for her generation). So, the white wedding gown was alive and well in Brooklyn at the turn of the century.
Oh, tape will keep those buppies in the strapless dress.
I saw a GORGEOUs blush white wedding gown in the window of Saks recently. Well, the color was gorgeous, perhaps the dress...a bit too much. I have this thing: I believe the dress should showcase the star of the day: the bride. If everyone talks about the dress then it was too much. But that's just me.
