Bride | Groom | Bridesmaids | Parents When it came time to decide the theme and attire that would best represent Dan's and my interests, I decided it had to be something old-fashioned, romantic, simple, and fun-loving. A Late Victorian theme best suited us. The time period I chose has also been called "The Gilded Age" or "The Gibson Girl Look." Bride's Attire |

A 1930s
ivory slipper satin gown with chantilly lace, recreated to the
appearance of an 1898 gown, with a dropped waist with a point,
very large leg of mutton long sleeves with wrist poins, a high
neck and old-fashioned cameo, and a double coachman bustle. The
hat is derby style with ivory satin roses, large puff valance,
mid-back tulle veil and two ostrich feather plumes, cream Russian
net with cream-colored marabu, small cream-colored roses, and sits
high atop the head. The shoes are ivory boots that are slightly
above the calf with lace-up buttons. An old-fashioned four-boned
hoop with ivory satin pantaloons underneath. Three ivory fabric
rosettes on the bustle and one large one in the back of the derby
hat. Multitudes of satin-covered buttons in back from top of neck
to where bustle joins.
