Re: the dress: the color doesn'...Thanks, guys!<br /><br />Re: the dress: the color doesn't come through quite right in photos--teal remains its best descriptor, but it's got more of a silvery/pewtery cast to it than that. It's definitely a color distinctive to the 1950s/60s.<br /><br />Re: flowers: I was getting close to foregoing flowers entirely, especially when I learned what actual florists were charging per stem for callas. But in the end Wegmans came through. I bought six generous bunches for $60 and we got two bouquets and four boutonnieres out of 'em (gold & purple for me & the spouse, white for the best lady, best man, and the fathers).<br /><br />And Dr. V: I'd actually never assigned Cosimo a last name prior to this post. But his pseudonym derives partly from the fact that a grad school compatriot of his once introduced him to someone else at a conference as "the Cosimo di Medici of the [name of their grad school] mafia." So it seemed appropriate. And you KNOW the Medici do weddings up right!Flaviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17832765671541392835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27054305.post-84027324225868303342011-10-06T00:12:16.925-04:002011-10-06T00:12:16.925-04:00Congratulations, and also, beautiful dress.

Don't get me started on how disturbing that is.)<br /><br />And can I say that is a *fabulous* non-white wedding dress! I love how it references lacy wedding dresses without actually *being* one. Also, love the mid-century modern color palette of teals and warm rusts, browns, and oranges -- perfect for an autumn wedding! (Although, perhaps my monitor is not seeing them correctly.)<br /><br />I may come to you for advice in the future if Bullock and I ever plan such an event, because your way is exactly what we'd want, too (minus the church).<br /><br />Btw, it never occurred to me (or else I missed it) that Cosimo's last name on the blog is De Medici. Of *course* it is!Dr. Viragohttp://quodshe.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27054305.post-26954657144117139142011-10-05T01:25:17.586-04:002011-10-05T01:25:17.586-04:00FLG: there was plenty of air guitar and other danc...FLG: there was plenty of air guitar and other dance floor dramatics. Our friends and family can bust a few moves. (Also: that first song we're pictured dancing to?
