Jenna Bush's Wedding Round-Up
Posted on May 13, 2008 6:38:27 PM  |  By Margit

Taking a break from my own all-important wedding, let's see how the other half lives (the ones who live in the White House). As I'm sure you already know, on Saturday, May 10, Jenna Bush married Henry Hagar in Crawford, Texas.



Jenna_bushBut here are the key dress deets: V-neck, chiffon dress by Oscar de la Renta dress. Fourteen (fourteen!? I'm struggling with the needs of three!) bridesmaids dresses designed by Lela Rose. She wore no veil, and I'm not planning to either -- both of us choosing outdoor ceremonies. See, we have so much in common.



Brides.com has a nice photo gallery of the wedding , albeit the same images just about every other site has.



Other wedding bloggers have been all a-twitter with reviews:



Aisle Dash: "Not overwhelming, but undeniably gorgeous."



Paris Celebrations: "I'm in love with this dress!"



Wedding Tips Blog: "As you can see her wedding was very relaxed and low key. No glitz and glamour here folks!"



Village Voice: The newspaper's blog makes the case that since the press wasn't allowed in the event, every media outlet is running the same photos. "What this means is that the Post and the Daily News are running the same pictures and using the same quotes from the president about how "spectacular" the day was." Man, a blog writing about how other people are covering an event? That's kind of a cop-out.



Oh wait...

I absolutely love her dress! Stunning modern touches, but definitely a classic. (Google Tricia Nixon's wedding dress for her White House wedding in the Rose Garden - I love that one, too!)

Thanks for the link Margit! - I'll do just about anything for a classy Oscar de la Renta gown :)
