Weddings have always been popular on television. Last month, Polly, attired as a wedding guest in a stunning dress by Bluegrass Brides was the guest on WLEX TV channel 18, a local noontime news show. The topic was hat fashions for weddings. Polly’s comments were illustrated by live models wearing ensembles from bridal shops Bluegrass Brides and Modiste.
This fantasy wedding party included our own Ann Kreke, as the bride, a Mother of the Bride, flower girl and two bridesmaids. Anne wore a wedding dress from Modiste which was trimmed in blue gray satin. The coordinating veil floated from a headpiece of silk hydrangea. Jane, as Mother of the Bride, modeled a pale taupe lace suit from Bluegrass Brides which was complemented by a medium brimmed ivory hat trimmed in pale pink roses.
The two bride’s maids presented contrasting looks. One young lady, Claire, wore her flowing magenta crepe dress with a classic large brimmed picture hat trimmed in silk organza flowers; perfect for an afternoon garden wedding.The other bridesmaid, Isabel, modeled a more sophisticated look, an iridescent red taffeta tea length dress and small black veiled and feathered head piece known as a fascinator. The look was slightly French Can-can and perfect for an evening wedding.
As always, the show was stolen by the Flower Girl, played by Polly’s own niece Emmaline. Emmaline wore a flame colored satin dress and a head piece featuring feathers, and a velvet flower fashioned by Hat Lady, Sue Dozier. Those of you who missed the show may tune in by visiting the press page of our website.
