  Wedding Reflections      
         
 

One of the highlights of the 2005 Historic Homes Tour was “Wedding Reflections” at the Weeden House.  The one-day only exhibit featured Ms. Gay Money's private collection of antique and vintage wedding gowns, accessories, and other wedding related items, including trousseau items, bridesmaids and flower girl dresses.  The magnificent collection was displayed throughout the rooms of the museum in stunning period settings.  An elaborate cake by designer Bob Johnson of Panache rounded out the wedding theme for the museum's exhibit.
