Trinity Episcopal Cathedral :: 1961 :: Denhart - Gilmore Wedding

 Trinity  Episcopal Cathedral :: December 30, 1961 :: Portland, Oregon
 Judy & David Gilmore's Wedding (aka Mom & Dad)

 In preparation for my own wedding this summer, I have been pawing through my Parent's Wedding Album (Yes, more images from the family vault). Rob and I will be married at Trinity too & I have been looking for ways to incorporate their service into ours. 

I love the Douglas Fir Trees that they used to decorate the Cathedral - so regal & joyous.  I hope I can convince the Flower Guild to let us do trees.   Since our Wedding is in late June,  I would like to decorate the Cathedral with Birch trees or something 'leafy' like the English Royal Wedding last spring. 

I absolutely loved the trees that lined West Minister Abbey when William & Kate got married. Catherine of Cambridge (née Kate Middleton) has amazing taste, no? 

 Might as well make a statement & I can't imagine anything more romantic then 'putting down roots' after the Wedding.


I  will also be wearing the same white gloves my mother wore on her wedding day. Needless to say "they fit like a glove'.


I would wear this outfit any day of the week! Bravo, to my Chic Mother (a tender 20 years old here). And yes, we still have the facinator hat!

A very chick outfit indeed - love the shoes and the surprisingly large handbag! What colour was it?

Beautiful photos!
And you are Episcopalian too!
Forgive me, but when you live in the South, we are in the minority and get excited when we meet another person in the Episcopal Church!

What a gorgeous first photo!! I love the idea of using trees. Very natural and earthy.

How lovely that you're wearing your mother's gloves. I was going through some boxes in my closet yesterday and found my grandmother's pearl headpiece from her veil. She was married is 1948. Such beautiful pieces of the past.

love the hat your mom is wearing in the pic. Are you going to utilize that too? Perhaps as you escape on your honeymoon?
