Both choices are wonderful, but I can't help agreeing with Ceri..the blue feels a bit too formal, while the lotus-like jacket and dress have just a tad more of an edge, and would be venue and climate appropriate. You might find that a removable jacket is a godsend! Certainly agree with all your fans, you'll look lovely in either.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7063946489075478675.post-77810265360799123532015-03-06T10:27:49.375-05:002015-03-06T10:27:49.375-05:00Hi Jeanne ---- hmmmm.

You haven't said what style of wedding is planned and I wonder if it is a less formal, more outdoorsy summery wedding as you are all so lucky to be able to have in warmer countries? If so may be the colourful jacket will seem more joyful? Especially if most of the party is outside during the day. The blue silk is what I would choose for a London wedding. I am certain though from everything I have seen of you that you have a very sure style and will look wonderful. As will Mr H -- is he giving his outfit much thought?!

What a difference a season makes. I tried the shoes on in a shop in Connecticut on a cold winter's day. I put them on when I returned to steamy Saigon and OUCH! Wished I had gone up 1/2 size. I should know better. ;)Jeanne Henriqueshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07986759909478180763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7063946489075478675.post-84639180974459230882015-03-06T03:13:41.193-05:002015-03-06T03:13:41.193-05:00Thank you Judy, I have been told that by family me...Thank you Judy, I have been told that by family members who knew her at my age. :)Jeanne Henriqueshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07986759909478180763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7063946489075478675.post-6754945201029967972015-03-06T03:13:05.779-05:002015-03-06T03:13:05.779-05:00You are very kind Farm Gal, I have enjoyed it but ...You are very kind Farm Gal, I have enjoyed it but certainly look forward to giving my readers a breather, especially those of you trying to manage your "inbox".

Anything asymmetrical is always slimming (having no idea what you look like, but knowing most of us want to at least look slimmer!...especially for a wedding!).<br /><br />What would you feel most comfortable wearing? What do you want to be remembered in from that special day? What would look best in photos?<br /><br />My tip (not that you asked, or anything) is: wear comfortable shoes. No one will ever remember your shoes, and you'll be on your feet quite a bit.<br /><br />So excited to see your choice!<br />Kate at Wonderful Life Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01393342818341678583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7063946489075478675.post-29892956931366550172015-03-05T16:37:26.463-05:002015-03-05T16:37:26.463-05:00P.S.

Certainly meets all the specs on my color wheel. 😊 Some simple elegant jewels would be smashing with the midnight blue as well, and I'll bet REAL flowers will be a great back-drop.
