The Wedding 11 years ago

I am going to show some pictures in honor of our 11th anniversary. 11 years ago, the digital age was coming about. Ours was the first wedding where they used the digital camera. I was sad because I really loved how they captured images on film, and I didn’t know much about digital cameras.

All these pictures are pictures in my album. They are actually pictures of pictures – because it was soooooo amazingly expensive to get the digital copies. We paid 5K for our wedding photography package, I paid more for extra pictures. $20.00 per picture for the digital file just wasn’t in the cards. I’m regretting that now.

So, without further ado…

The theme of this wedding was simple elegance. I wanted it to be timeless.

And, here is a picture of my on my wedding day – 11 years ago. We got married on the Smith College Campus.

That dress and veil was made for me. It was made out of silk satin. The cathedral length veil had the same fabric as the dress along the edge. You can see it a bit in the picture. That necklace and the earrings (you can’ really see them) were made for my by my dear mother.

My Mom and Me. See the earring. She made that too!

The beautiful dress. Ho hum. The Bolero jacket was awesome!

My Dad and I walking down the aisle. You can get a sense for how long the dress and train were.

Hubby and I and the minster. Yes, that was a wreath of fresh ivory and peach roses. That candle has a simple N – which was done in beads.

Hair embellishment – so simple

Custom Invitations. Our invitations were printed by hand in calligraphy and that peach colored rose was hand painted on each and every invite and card.

Our choreographed dance. Yep, we took ballroom dance lessons!

They only thing I didn’t like about our wedding day – was the fact that there were carnations in my centerpieces. I should have asked someone to take those out. 11 years later and I still remember those carnations. The centerpieces were overflowing with peach and ivory rose. So beautiful. Those carnations destroyed and cheapened the look and feel of the entire arrangement – which I thought out carefully. What were those designers thinking?

Yuck. 🙂

Nope, not a short post.

What good memories do you remember about your wedding?
