Color, color everywhere and I, with my white hair, wear white (a choice, apparently, completely ignored as fashionable) to one of the biggest occasions of the season. My apologies.

But on another note:
At Paige's Wedding, we (Paige, Kendall, Mom, Dad, Josh, & Peg - at least!) apparently conveyed "Faithfulness, tranquility, dependability, sensitivity."
Paige,and Peg went for "straightforward, but not too serious," and Josh (and Sue) added "wholesomeness and earthiness" to the conversation.
Dad & I angled for "powerful," (Dark blues are associated with "intelligence, stability, unity, and conservatism" - hence the banker's "power suit.")
Then there was you, laughing through it all: “For a touch of humor, try periwinkle,” Purple is associated with both nobility and spirituality, and Lavender suggests refinement along with grace, elegance, and something special; also creativity.
At the Reception:
You went with "purity, cleanliness, and innocence" (white) or "ivory . . . calming color. It carries some of the same pureness, softness, and cleanliness of white but is slightly richer, a touch warmer."
I stayed with the power color scheme in red, but "In some cultures, red denotes purity, joy, and celebration. Red is the color of happiness and prosperity in China and may be used to attract good luck."
So, overall, no bad choices - in my humble opinion!

I knew you would take the opportunity to critique our costumes of the day. Thank you. That was fun.
I hope the Asians in the crowd didn't take offense, thinking my ivory was white in the evening light. In their eyes, my head-to-toe white might have been more appropriate for mourning -- exactly what Mother should have worn for my wedding.
