When your father-in-law is Ralph Lauren....

.....this is the wedding gown you can have. 

This stunning gown took 100 craftspeople 3000 hours to create. The top layer of the gown was made of antique ivory tulle. It was then hand-embroidered with flowers and Renaissance-era scroll designs in silk and metallic thread. Finished with Swarovski crystals and off-white pearl beads. 

My favorite part is the high neck and long sleeves. As I've said before, thanks to Kate Middleton, the era of the bustier-4-sizes-too-small wedding gown are over. This is elegant, vintage and timeless. The whole shot is just lovely and the groom is impeccable. 

If your budget doesn't allow for hiring Monsieur Lauren, maybe these will do.

Gitin' Hitched to that Ol' Ball & Chain?

Ah, the bliss of matrimony. The romance of a perfectly choreographed wedding day. The beauty of the flowers, music, food and the support of family and friends.

The love exchanged between two soul mates on that special wedding day is un-comparable.

....unless....one....wears....these....outfits....

Well, I suppose you would have to be soul mates to agree on these!

Pimp your wedding.

Where's the top half of the dress?

 

Who needs a limo?

Well, at least all the wedding guests will have something to do.

The sheep went that way!

Or you could do it this way.
