How it started - The Planning of - the Dress



The Idea.... from a 1901 painting by Edmund Blair Leighton. Guinevere honoring Lancelot





The Option? Ideas from a Victorian gallery - then I went to find a gifted seamstress locally and we began working for real
     



The garter... my first successful find - custom made after my own design from a gifted crafter to match the dress I had decided on




I could not FIND these in my size.... sniffsniff.. they would have matched perfectly


I finally decided, what the heck, the dress is long,
and whatza witch without red boots, eh? So red they were :)




Our ring bearer pillow






Oh, yeah, the RINGS






The picture album - also hand crafted
     



The cake topper- didn't like what was offered, so I finally made my own from scratch
(again, with the swan theme)

     



The gift for the Groom - Circle of Love






The gift for the Bride - The lovely pearls






Forever after...
