I spent Saturday following this beautiful bride around! I heard many stories about the wedding gown before the big day, and was able to stop by the house to see the "cocoon" (made of sheets) that her dad made to keep the dress from touching any of the wooden walls in the closet. Then there were the hours spent ironing the raw silk dress…and the ironing continued once the dress was on! The gorgeous veil was the the bride's "something old" since it was the same veil that her mother wore at her wedding.
