Having a Victorian wedding - 1886 to be precise

Well pulling all of this together has been a lot of study - and lots more to go.
Wedding gowns during the time could be white or just the ladies best dress, so our wedding is going to be a well to do family wedding. I will be in a pale ivory dress.

Here are examples of dressing and wedding dresses around the 1870's - 1880's period

My bridesmaid will be wearing a natural colour to compliment my wedding dress as bridemaids back then wore the same colour as the bride.

To make sure I am correct in my googling I have ordered a book for victorian wedding dresses.
My dress is coming from

Her clothes are beautiful
Since ordering mine if one were interested in a plainer wedding - with more of a strict budget, this dress is most definately in lots of wedding photos I have seen also

but I'm very happy with Sally and her lovely email manner and what I see of her dresses online
I can't wait for my dress to be made.

Lisa my best friend and bridesmaid will be wearing
a skirt similar to this but in natural colour so it looks white in the black and white photos (the actual skirt is no longer being sold)

and this is the blouse

Shoes are from this website which seem to be the best and cheapest boots that are closest to the time - example http://www.antiquedress.com/item1442.htm or http://www.vintagefashionguild.org/content/view/609/75/ This one (http://www.vintagefashionguild.org/images/stories/SoleProvider/14.jpg) but this is awfully hard to work this part out for the wedding dress because of the length of the dresses completely cover the shoes (well boots)

still wondering what to do about orange blossom in the hair, whether I should try for wax flowers or real orange blossom or replica flowers.
