Jenna Bush will be showing off her Texas roots and surroundings at her May 10 wedding at the family’s Crawford, Tex. ranch.
At the bride-to-be’s suggestion, Lela Rose has designed seven knee-length dresses in seven colors inspired by the state’s wildflowers for the 14 members of her “house party,” a Southern term for attendants. Each ethereal dress has handmade rosettes and is made of crinkle silk chiffon backed with cotton voile. Rose, whose of-the-moment weddings dresses have been embraced by more directionalstores, has created seven dresses with such modern touches as boatnecks and pocket details – without a strapless style in sight.
