Mimi van Wyck feather wedding dress
Sheathed in spiraling layers of silk tulle, she looked every inch the languid 19th-century heroine.
Her gown, by the British designer Alexander McQueen, was ethereally romantic, said Ms. van Wyck, a New York event planner who traces her lineage to New Amsterdam.
All but weightless, it reflected the wedding’s balmy setting: a grove of ancient oaks in the walled garden of the old plantation.
“Those trees were filled with Spanish moss,” Ms. van Wyck said, “and like that moss, my gown was kind of blowing in the breeze.”

Steal that style: Jamelia
British R&B singer Jamelia married on June 14, 2008 with her love, soccer star Darren Byfield. Her diaphanous veil cascading down from her upswept hair, the bride was a regal sight to behold in her lace-accented wedding dress, its trumpet skirt flaring as she walked down a white aisle runner which stretched across the immaculately manicured lawn of the Eastlands Estate in West Sussex.
