You did an AWESOME job with this layout! I can see I have a lot of looking to do in your gallery! This is so beautiful and what a lovely heirloom. Priceless photograph. Love all your elements!
A wonderful photo. I saw some photos of my parents on their wedding day. They had a very small church wedding with just close family and friends. They didn't have a professional photographer. It was mainly family and friends taken the photos. My dad cousin gave him and my mother pictures of their wedding they didn't have. I was thinking of scrapping a few in a scrapbook. Maybe asking my mother to write down her memories of her wedding day. To include in the layout.
This has been such a pleasure to view. Love the textures, rather than colour variety, on this LO. Sooo want to pick it up and 'touch'. Thank you for sharing.
Stunning....I love the soft colors of cream and white together! The layers are gorgeous! The lace and trim are so pretty! Beautiful story and great photo!
Your commentary on the photo about Joe makes me laugh. I can feel the moment. I would love to see the textures and the fabrics here in person. If it looks divine here, then it must look even better in person. Great anniversary page. Also LOVE that you used this for OUAS.

Since my parents were married in the month of October I thought to scrap some of their wedding photographs this month. This is the first one I have completed. It is also my entry for OUAS, I turned the sketch a quarter turn to a horizontal presentation.
Why I chose to do an all white/cream colored page I don't know!!! It's kind of crazy making. However, I had the idea in my head and it wouldn't go away!! I used lots of fabric on this page, including satin and laces, old trims, etc. Also gesso, tulle and some inks. My Mother carried a bouquet of long stemmed white chrysanthemums, and that was my inspiration for using the layered trims to sort of look like these flowers. in opposing corners. The word captured is a journaling requirement from the quote at the OUAS site.
The fussy cut paper bouquet of flowers near the lower left of the photo pulls out to read more journaling: " A fine, yet cool early October morning, the 25th of October, 1947. Mom wore a beautiful gown of rich, creamy satin, with a scalloped neckline and long sleeves, and carried long stemmed spider chrysanthemums. After exchanging their vows, Mom and Dad left the church only to find Dad's older brothers lying in wait with bags of confetti! Which they promptly tossed onto the new couple, capturing them in a cloud of confetti!! I can see the glee in uncle Joe's attitude as he empties a bag of confetti down his younger brother's neck!! He appears to be relishing his role teasing his "baby" brother!!"
