I have a question regarding
the proper etiquette for newspaper wedding announcements for
engagements as well as the ceremony announcement. My fiancι and I
have both been married before and there is a large age difference,
with he being twenty years my senior. I am in my late twenties
and my first marriage did not produce children, however, he has
three, two of which are grown. We live in the South and having a
tasteful wedding, down to every detail is of extreme importance.
I also would like to wear a wedding dress, of course not white, no
train, no veil. Could you suggest a line of gowns, or any gowns
in particular that are very elegant and not "fru-fru?" We would
like to be as traditional as possible without being tacky and
obnoxious. We really want the wedding and reception to be a grand
celebration of finally finding true love
You might check out the line of gowns by Jessica McClintock.
She has some that are designed for beach weddings (no train,
no poofie skirts) that would be very appropriate. If you have
a bridal shop in your area, do go in and look at what they
have. You will find many lovely gowns designed for outdoor
weddings that would also be appropriate. Today, it is
acceptable for you to wear a white gown if that color looks
better on you than ivory or another color.
As for the newspaper announcement, most newspapers have a
style sheet that tells you what information can and cannot be
included. If your local paper is on-line, you may find the
information there. If it isn't on-line, give them a call and
ask for the information. In your case, I would suggest that
the two of you announce your engagement rather than your
parents doing it.
