Bride in Classic Short Gown, Groom in Vintage Plaid Suit

Katie wore a short dress so she wouldn’t have to worry about “tromping through a field in a gown,” she says. She knew she wanted a dress appropriate for the fall weather, with sleeves and simple, classic lines. “The dress was the perfect mix of sophistication and whimsy,” she says, adding that it was also the “perfect canvas for accessorizing,” which she did with a feather hairpiece, a retro blusher veil, black-and-white pumps and a classic plaid stole. (It was unseasonably cold for October.) The look she was going for was “a bit vintage.” Jeff wore a plaid jacket, black pants, orange socks and oxford shoes with orange laces.
