Choosing the ideal outfit for a couple that is going to walk down the aisle is undoubtedly important but also extremely difficult. It’s not just about looking good, it’s about that outfit representing us and being true to us, our style, and our personality. Many of our ancestors got it exactly right with their choices and, in fact, they chose so well that even today they are the envy of those who are fortunate enough to meet and observe them.
