The dresses were on clearance at J. Crew. Apparently, salmon was not a hot color in the spring of 2003. I never envisioned salmon dresses in my wedding ... I always thought I'd go more of the blue route. Like the shoes. Blue flip-flops. I had bought those at J. Crew a few months earlier ... and what's a girl to do when she gets blue flip-flops and salmon dresses ... both on clearance? Sew salmon flowers to the shoes to make it all work :)
I obviously went very wrong when I thought shawls would be a good idea ... for one, my mother almost didn't speak to me for weeks since she had the grand pleasure of sewing all those puppies together. From what I hear, it was a bit of a slippery job ...

Everywhere they walked... flip flop flip flop. :)
