Then everything went crazy on my computer so I literally pulled the plug.<br /><br />I'm back today to tell you how cogent and beautifully written each post is. You are such a pleasure to READ, not matter what your subject -- always well chosen and interesting-- but most of all I love you style. <br /><br />It's lovely to have you in my virtual world.Tish Jetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08865177127050648489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-56992210627353970812010-09-30T19:07:29.788-04:002010-09-30T19:07:29.788-04:00LPC: Thanks for the pointer, and applause to these...LPC: Thanks for the pointer, and applause to these women! I think the traditional wedding is a massive scam. Pew bows, come on! <br /><br />What I still do not 'get' is why any bride (young or not) would choose an exquisite, usually expensive dress and then wear it once. <br /><br />materfamilias: You will post photos, won't you, please? Looking forward already.<br /><br />Frugal: I too thought they had loads of style. I've seen some indie weddings that remind me of my first one (ultra hippie, I made the dress), but this one was so polished.Duchessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09986153653120526776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-85105055714750366612010-09-30T18:28:49.055-04:002010-09-30T18:28:49.055-04:00How lovely to see such joy and originality all in ...How lovely to see such joy and originality all in one place! <br /><br />I like to hang out on A Practical Wedding, too -- and for even more fun, there's the Offbeat Bride site, with large doses of both love and tats.Rubiatontahttp://rubiatonta.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-25003004730058873372010-09-30T16:16:54.600-04:002010-09-30T16:16:54.600-04:00My daughter is planning to wear the Chloe dress I ...My daughter is planning to wear the Chloe dress I blogged about last year.

My favourite shot from her wedding is of groom helping bride out of the floatplane (wedding was in the city to accommodate older rellies; reception was at our beach).<br />Daughter #3 is going a different route with a much smaller wedding(immediate family & grandparents only) in a much more formal setting (private club she and the groom have a work history with). She would have preferred a bigger affair, but we set the same modest budget as funded the (catered) barbeque and salads do for her sister -- and it simply didn't go very far in fancy club. . . <br />Meg's dress will be va-va-voom, I suspect, having seen her first choices and knowing her love of drama (very low back, bustle-type back . . . )<br />I've got serious reservations about the money that gets spent on rings and gowns and sundries of all kind, so I love the examples you've dug out. We've tried, and will try, to hold a very modest line, especially given how much has gone into funding educations. And personally, I'd rather have a good party on a modest budget and contribute to a down payment on a first home . . .materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-15037680658503405012010-09-30T11:38:10.121-04:002010-09-30T11:38:10.121-04:00Duchesse - There's quite a trend these days of...Duchesse - There's quite a trend these days of 'indie" weddings that are similar to the one you found. www.apracticalwedding.com showcases lots and lots and lots. Also hosts a discussion for intelligent and independent young women. Kind of fun to eavesdrop:).LPChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18209861350905135093noreply@blogger.com
