A Gown with History

Emily’s gown dazzled me from the second I laid eyes on it.  When I read that it was the same gown that her mother and aunt wore, altered to remove the sleeves and add lace from her grandmother’s gown, I loved it even more.

Did you catch that the detail on her cake matches her cap sleeves?  Lovely.

Great dress! I went over to check out the rest of the photos and I’m so glad I did! It is so nice to see a bride who can’t stop grinning from ear to ear. Congratulations you two!!

Such a lovely concept! I love that she added lace from her grandmother’s dress to make it uniquely hers. So incredibly special!

gorgeous dress and cake!
