SALUTE TO THE THANKSGIVING BRIDE

Here are a few of my Fall faves from collections past and present!  Like the Macy's parade come every 4th Thursday in November, it's become an annual thing here--my posting about the Thanksgiving wedding and the many details and touches that go with.  I actually love the idea of getting married on Thanksgiving Day. The days before as well as the Friday, Saturday and Sunday after are times family are all gathered.  And that's the bonus of a Thanksgiving wedding--the guests and menu are all pretty much assembled.  If you want a cozy wedding with just family go ahead and opt for Thanksgiving Day.  Extend that invite beyond family and your wedding might conflict with most of your invited guest's family dinners.  Overall, a turkey dinner with all the fixings for the bride and groom and family gathered is a great way to combine your nups with that great family tradition.
