Saying yes to the dress

February 6, 2016

So many beautiful choices . . . 


A private room all her own . . . 


To play dress up . . .


 to twirl . . . 





No peeks here of the actual dress that was chosen. The dress that felt just right as soon as she put it on. That lit up her already sparkling eyes.

A toast to celebrate with the maid of honor. The friend who flew up just especially for a long weekend of dress shopping and happy wedding planning.

  6. Your photographs are exquisite, Deborah! What a lovely time to share in, memorable!

    I don't know if I ever told you, but our youngest son works on the shoots to the Say Yes to the Dress show. Often when he's working out of town he's in Atlanta working on it!

  8. Such a precious time. I remember doing this with my own mother, it was just the two of us. Love your sepia toned photos. I'm so glad your daughter knew it was "the one".

  15. So beautiful, Deborah. She'll be a lovely bride :)

    The only advice I could think of, when I read your post a couple back was, just be there for her. When all else fails and the bridesmaids aren't paying attention before and after the ceremony, be the one that does. I'm sure her friends are wonderful, but there's nothing like mom to make things right when things go wrong. Also, know when to back off ;) It's a difficult trick lol

  20. Beautiful post! I love the sepia tone of them. That first pic reminds me of my own time in a wedding dress shop, so many years ago, and looking through them all for that one dress I knew was for me. What a special time!
