OK I can't believe it! I was so depressed yesterday because the alteration person I took my Mom's dress to said it couldn't be done in time and would take a lot more to restore. It is a Pricilla of Boston Dress from 1960. It is absolutely gorgeous! I went to a Bridal Boutique today... FIRST one ... first dress I saw, FIRST dress I tried on. I bought it! It was so wild. It is perfect and beautiful! Oh well I wanted to stat this thread so I could kind of have a venting area and something to have to remember this journey. I want to share some of the ideas I have for the ceremony and reception and hope to get even more ideas from you guys. I will sum up some of them later tonight ... just wanted to get the ball rolling!
I wish everyone lived close so you all could come ... we haven't had a TVCH Wedding get together yet! This could be the first!

LOL Mocha! I wish I could post a pix...I have never seen another like it but Cowboy might see it and I want it to be a surprise for him. Pamy we need to have lunch or something I can show it to you! I also need your addy & correct name spelling for everyone in the family ... first and last names. I can share this ... the place where the ceremony and reception is at a Country Club/Lodge - the property sets on and is near the place where they filmed Little House on the Prairie. The theme is Old Country. Not Country/Western. I really wanted to wear my Mom's dress but I will at least wear her veil. We will be married outdoors on the huge outdoor patio overlooking the lake and hills under an old iron half arch lined with wildflowers. I have twin flower girls who are wearing old antique dresses with brown cowboy boots, carrying tin pails filled with wildflowers. The men will wear western tuxes with boots. I have so many more ideas but I am tired of typing LOL

MsGG that's sounds like a great idea....hmmmm I still need to talk to MrKittee3 about videographing (sp?) he will do for us.... My hands are so ugly MsMocha... it is a round 1.0 solitaire in a platinum tiffany setting... Cowboy said I could get more but we haven't decided on the bands yet. More details... I will have a 3 tier wedding cake frosted in an antique frosting - very simple then decorated with wildflowers. I will have a quilt on the table that has been in family and made by my Great Grandmother. Two framed pix will be on it that has My Mom & Dad and Cowboy's Mom & Dad from their wedding cutting their cake. I haven't decided on a topper... I want it to be different. I will also have My Great Grandmother's tablecloth she crocheted(sp?-I am tired LOL) ... it is ivory and that will be on the alter/table.

Ddr I love that dress! My Mom's I think is the same material but the neckline is a European (boat cut) neckline (hard to explain) with 3/4 length sleeves. Corset waist with bell bottom and train. Lace line the bottom. I will try to get a pix of it.

Thanks!!! I am still looking for some ideas about decorations or unique things anyone else did to make their day special. If anyone has any suggestions on 'Old Country.' My table center pieces have old working lanterns, wildflowers in mason jars and tins. The napkin rings will be tin cookie cutters with a tag that has our names and the date on one side ... the other will read 'Cut out for each other' I know corny but I will also have small burlap bags placed all around the centerpiece that has sugar cookie mix in them with tags that have our date and 'Sweet memories'. Then everyone will have a cookie cutter and mix. Sounds silly but I think it will be cute and works into the theme. Makes a different taken home gift

Moon, you have a lot of things planned out already - very organized. It all sounds lovely. What is your theme color(s)? Twin flower girls, how cute! Is your veil short or long, and is there a tiara? Are the guys going to wear hats too? (Once I saw an outdoor wedding and the bride was brought to the outdoor setting in a horse-drawn buggy.)

MsGracie, I wish you would come! I am treating this as I did when I produced my movies Colors are all earth tones... blue, yellows, rose, moss green. My veil is long but I might use it as just a train from the flower tiara I will wear... I haven't decided on that one yet. I am not crazy about the guys wearing hats so maybe at the reception... still not sure.

Moonie, so far it all sounds absolutely wonderful...I am really enjoying your unique 'Old Country' theme!! It's perfect!! You know I'll be at your wedding, I wouldn't miss it for the world!! I was thinking of throwing a roll of TP at you and Cowboy instead of rice...to honor the BB days...LOL!! I'm sooooo excited for youuuuu....and I look forward to bringing my lacie kerchief (in keeping with the theme...) to dab my tears, 'cause I always cry at weddings!!
