DREAMING IN WHITE

When most I wink, then do mine eyes best see,

For all the day they view things unrespected;

But when I sleep, in dreams they look on thee,

And, darkly bright, are bright in dark directed.

Then thou, whose shadow shadows doth make bright—

How would thy shadow’s form happy show

to the clear day with thy much clearer light,

When to unseeing eyes thy shade shines so?

How would, I say, mine eyes be blessèd made

By looking on thee in the living day,

When in dead night thy fair imperfect shade

Through heavy sleep on sightless eyes doth stay?

All days are nights to see till I see thee,

And nights bright days when dreams do show thee me.

CREATING ONE-OF-A-KIND CHIC

It's those diverse and interesting touches that make you a one-of-a-kind bride. Above, the headpiece circa late 1940s paired up with black gloves amps the glam factor . . .

I call this, The Ascot Bride. Same dress and gloves only we've changed out the head wear for a sisal picture hat with a taffeta striped bow and giant daisy, making this a great candidate for all you My Fair Lady fans. Gown and hats by Amy-Jo Tatum Bridal Couture

SLEEVES

There are probably more variations of sleeve than any other component on your gown. Believe me, once you've decided to go with sleeves, your possibilities are never-ending. From a designer's point of view, sleeves can be one of the most creative elements on a gown. For me, a well-designed sleeve is a work of art; it combines fabric and adornment into the overall image of the gown. I also think sleeves are the most satisfying part of a gown to work on—the actual stitching, manipulation of fabric and trim— all forming the real character of the gown.
