Younger DD's wedding and she helped chose the dress I ultimately wore. It was MUCH lower cut than I anticipated, and I'm very busty. But I got a ton of compliments on it and she loved it on me. The MOG was definitely in the Matron category-which is sad because she's got a fantastic figure and isn't that much older than me. Elder DD, I went more of the Artsy look-I had a great statement necklace that set off my solid turquoise color dress and red wrap. MOG happened to wear a red dress with a turquoise wrap-so we complimented one another fabulously. Her wedding had a very BoHo vibe so it was a perfect fit. When my niece got married I was utterly surprise to see my sister (MOB) wear a nice, yet almost matronly high necked, knee length navy blue sheath. She wore her hair up and wore pearls! This from my sister who had DD implants when she found out she was going to be a grandmother and still rocks a teeny tiny bikini at 50.

What a pretty dress - The colour is stunning and the lines are beautiful. I'm going to have to remember this line of dresses- They're available in Canada at The Bay and the one that Annette Holbrook chose is also available in tea length I was reading some of the comments and one I found said that apparently the dress notes that it is machine washable (which didn't work out well for someone who made a comment) but the Canadian Bay site said that it is dry cleaning only. Just an FYI.

I would hardly think that the happy folks at that wedding give a hoot about what others think, so titter away although some folks who did wear strapless at 61 might feel a little sad hearing it was gauche . . . I would laugh off such thoughts. I've been counterculture my whole life. My wedding dress was nice but ended up being a tad unflattering. I let it go. I had a blast that day. The worst faux paus at our wedding was we ran out of wine. We had no idea our friends were such winos! We ended up with almost a case of beer left . . . also the buffet servers packed up the leftovers pronto for taking them home themselves, leaving a few folks who wanted seconds unsatisfied . . . that was weirdly unexpected. Our volunteer sound person was kind of off the ball, he didn't utilize well the five hours of songs hubs downloaded. Also our volunteer wedding photographer was a no show. We got by with employing some last minute requests for friends to take some extra shots and share. I was disappointed in the table centerpieces, but finding something affordable was a challenge. We wanted mums but even though they were everywhere a couple of weeks prior, we had to settle for some rather sickly looking celosia. We went to a produce market right before the wedding to save money.

You look wonderful! Great choices. Thanks for taking us along. The navy dress was the other contender, fine as is, but with a cardigan it went directly to school marm. Not good. Oh, goodness, yes, I've discovered this with some of my favorite sleeveless dresses that look great on their own like yours did, but don't pair well with anything over them.
