The Dress

My dress was perfect for my petite frame and accentuated my body in all of the right places. I adored the deep V-neckline and the subtle, yet statement-making beadwork. I was so excited to be able to wear a designer gown even though I am petite – and the trumpet style was just stunning! I am a bit old fashioned and I feel that this dress was timeless and classic in style, cut, color – in every way.


The Accessories

I purchased Kenneth Jay Lane earrings and my necklace and bracelet were purchased from Etsy.com. I wanted lots of sparkle, and my accessories gave me the glamorous look I was going for. My clutch – La Regale Mirror Minaudiere – added another touch of glamour to my bridal look.

I wore Manolo Blahnik’s silver Sedaraby shoes, which were truly stunning. On the most important day of my life, I wanted to treat my feet to these wonderful, unforgettable shoes. I decided to wear a birdcage veil and fascinator in order to truly pull off a timeless, unique and classic bridal look. Not many women wear that, and I really wanted people to remember what I looked like on my wedding day.

The Engagement Ring

My engagement ring was picked out by my husband at Simms Jewelers in Reading, Mass.; I am not sure of the designer.
