Hello there! Thank you for stopping by my Blog today. I'm a big believer that everything in your wedding should be Timeless ~ the photos, wedding gown, decor and so forth. You should be able to look back 10 years from now and everything still look classic. When I think of a Timeless wedding, I tend to think of the wedding of Jacqueline
Lee Bouvier, 24 and John Fitzgerald
Kennedy, 36. Both helped influence and redefine fashion and classic
American elegance for decades.
They were married on the morning of September 12, 1953, at St.
Mary’s Roman Catholic Church in Newport, Rhode Island. The church was decorated with pink gladioli and white chrysanthemums. Jackie walked down the aisle with her stepfather, Hugh D. Auchbishop Richard Cushing of Boston. With more than eight
hundred guests followed by a reception held on a 300 acre oceanfront estate, Hammersmith
Farm, attended by more than twelve hundred guests.
Jacqueline wore a gorgeous ivory tissue silk dress, with a portrait neckline, fitted
bodice, and a bouffant skirt embellished with bands of more than fifty yards of
flounces. Her rose point lace veil, worn first by her grandmother Lee, was
draped from a tiara of lace and orange blossoms. Jacqueline wore a choker of
pearls and a diamond bracelet that was a gift from the John. Her
bouquet was of pink and white spray orchids and gardenias. Timeless! Elegant! Classic!
When you think of a Timless wedding, who's wedding do you think of?
