Spring wedding wear: floral +gold at the Boston Harbor

Me: Ted Baker dress (past season - similar here or here), Kate Spade pumps (similar on sale) Nick: Theory suit, H&M shirt, Zara tie, Cole Haan shoes
We snapped these photos during our friends' beautiful wedding at the Boston harbor hotel. The weather was breezy with sailboats and yachts alike floating around the harbor (unfortunately invisible in the white mass behind us) - made for a perfect backdrop while sipping on chowder and munching on mini lobster rolls!

I bought this "Torella / Fourtys Bloom" dress at the end of winter and unfortunately could not find it left anywhere at the time to share about. Ted Baker does have some gorgeous printed dresses out again this season, in similar flattering silhouettes. Since their line is designed for regular-height ladies, I had my tailor perform the same alteration (raising by the shoulders) that was done for my TB dress in this post. This dress is intended to be shorter, but I couldn't bear to trim off any of the vibrant floral print!

A few snapshots of my gorgeous friends on their special day!

Their photographer had a stream of photos taken earlier in the evening playing on slide shows during the reception. Their assistant was editing them pretty much live so that guests could enjoy, which I thought was pretty neat! I've had other friends wait weeks if not over a year for their wedding photos...

Below - this belt was a little long despite the one-loop tuck, but a pretzel knot did the trick.

I am surprised to report that these KS Licorice pumps (with a heel cushion inside to prevent ankle chafing) lasted a full 10 hours...given, a portion of that time was spent sitting but there was cobblestone walks and dancing aplenty! I wish they'd make this color again as I know several of you were interested in the darker bronze. A reader did kindly share that she found these Ivanka Trump pumps (in gold leather, on sale) to be one of the more similar options available.
