Handmade Lace and Silk Wedding Dress

Couture lace silk wedding dress

Pub­lished 08/28/2013 Writ­ten By My Father: A busy sum­mer got busier with the mar­riage of our daugh­ter Katie last Sun­day. It was a beau­ti­ful day with con­tri­bu­tions made by many fam­i­ly and friends, and I would be remiss if I did­n’t acknowl­edge a few that I have not already thanked publicly.

Communion dress lace

The way my moth­er remem­bers it, I was not a fan of my First Holy Com­mu­nion dress. The very sim­ple short sleeve lace dress (my mom picked out for me) did not cut it for me back in sec­ond grade.
