I altered my grandmother's wedding dress to wear at my wedding and it looked like *this*
My grandparents, Florence and John Samson, wed in Crete, Nebraska on August 17, 1946. When I was a young girl, I knew I wanted to incorporate my grandmother’s beautiful wedding dress into my own wedding some day. Little did I know that 70 years later, when my husband, Kevin, and I tied the knot, I would have the opportunity to wear the very same gown she wore down the aisle.
Kevin and I decided to have two ceremonies for our wedding: a Catholic Church ceremony for our immediate family and a larger outdoor garden ceremony for friends and extended family. I knew the intimate Catholic ceremony was the perfect time to wear my grandmother’s wedding dress. For our larger ceremony the following day, I wore a strapless silk Monique Lhuillier gown.
At the recommendation of a few friends, I found Delilah at Le Petit Atelier in Beverly Hills to take on the challenge. Not only is she a master at what she does, she loved that I was wearing my grandmother’s dress and really put her heart into the project. Although I trusted her, I can’t say I didn’t cringe when she took scissors to the dress!My grandmother designed the gown in 1946 using white slipper satin material.
