Of course, I have none of my own. But I have ran into some beautiful pictures of others since I've been researching for inspiration.
I love the vintage photos. This one with the three beautiful African American bridesmaids have always been my favorite:
Somebody needs to bring back the boatneck necklines in dresses. They are near impossible to find!
The fifties may have been an oppressive era for our people, but we certainly had plenty of dignified style and grace. Gotta give my shouts out to the beautiful princess with the tea-length wedding dress in this car!

I love these vintage photos and looks, Butterbean! Yes, boatneck dresses are a great look for some body-types. Have you ever visited Marysbridal.com ? They seem to have some beautiful new and vintage styles. I've seen both boat and portrait necklines there. I fell in love with a few portrait necklines there but he train was too long (cathedral) for my outdoor wedding....and I definitely wanted a train.
Check out this style: Style: #F07 5754 That's such a classic to me.
..and this neckline stopped me in my tracks. Style: #S088619
If I had more time and money for a top seamstress, I would have probably designed my own dress and had it made.

And would someone please tell me step by step how to get pictures to appear directly into my posts? I have searched for a thread on it and tried everything. Please. I am getting discouraged. LOL

Lets see if this works.
Mycenene, try typing this, but instead of left or right arrow, type in < or >.

I know that these are models, but I love this veil picture on this board.
I know that these may look cheesy to some, but I like to have a relaxed picture of the groomsmen.
Okay, they are not so relaxed looking, but I'm still digging the picture.
Very beautiful bride

I love that picture of the artist Basquiat on that webpage.
I'm planning on requesting all color photos and then digitally change the suitable shots to black and white if it isn't too dark.

LOL @ Children of the Corn!
I guess that I'm sorta turned on by the guys mugging up for the camera.
This topic is quickly turning into the type of photos I would like to have for my wedding.
I would like to do something like this for the engagement photo, if we decide to have one.
We wont be anywhere near sand, but I think this is cute:
For a "me and the ladies" photo:
A good overhead, fisheye lens, shot of my guests mugging up for the camera is a MUST!!
Love the sand pic and the one with the girls. Too cute.
