Wedding Item Hall of Fame

Over the years, I've had the opportunity to view many outfits and special items created for weddings. From weddings I've attended, to assisting brides with their lists, I've been blessed with viewing lovely creations of all styles. Each was as unique as the adventurer who wore or carried it. The following are just a few of my favorite items. If you'd like to see your items in this section, please send them my way.

Lady Bledixia's Gown and Matching Attendant's Gown: "a princess-line gown of pure white velvet overlaid in crystal blue gossamer with slender sleeves tapering to the wrists and a square neckline
trimmed in white puma fur"

"an ice blue velvet gown trimmed with silver braid at the square neckline and along the fitted sleeves"

Lady Bledixia's Headpiece: "a crystal blue veil of silver-threaded gossamer silk attached to a hand-blown glaes circlet trimmed with teardrop pearls"

Lady Bledixia's and Lord Massion's Marriage Declaration: "a Declaration of Marriage" Show: Looking closely at the aged parchment, you see the names of Bledixia and Massion in flowing script along with the date they sanctified their union.

Lady Brownyng's Maternity Gown: "a gold-threaded ivory damask maternity gown with an empire-style bodice and fitted sleeves, a skirt that falls softly to the ground and gold cording trim at the scooped neckline and pointed cuffs."

Lady Brownyng's Chatelaine: "a gold chatelaine" Show: You see a circular chatelaine wrought of the purest gold. Designed to hold the keys and other necessities of Silvergate's Lady of the Manor, it is etched with a stylized triskele. Engraved on the back of the chatelaine are the words: "Much love, from Cullien"

Lady Brownyng's Slippers: "a pair of supple kidskin slippers worked with gold"

Lady Cullien's Gown: "a midnight-green velvet gown with embroidered golden ivy trailing down the fitted sleeves to the pointed cuffs"

Lady Cullien's Reticule: "a lady's reticule" Show: You see a pouch of velvet covered with small sparkling glaes and emerald beads which dangles from the wrist by soft cords. The pouch is lined with
satin, and carries the various necessities a lady cannot do without.

Lord Fisdan's Crown: "an ancient mithril crown with five prongs of chiseled vultite topped by polished dragonsfire ruby globes"

Lord Fisdan's Tunic: "a regal black silk tunic with sparkling ruby buttons and slashed silver sleeves"

Lady Kaikeyi's and Lord Krackenstar's Keepsake Charms: "a small keepsake charm" Show: You see a small pin engraved with the image of a radiant wedding couple. Beneath the two is a small inscription, "Thank you for your friendship over the years. Kaikeyi and Krackenstar".

(These tiny charms were given to each of the attendants in Kaikeyi's and Krackenstar's wedding, and is one of the loveliest ideas for attendants' gifts I have seen to date.)

Lady Lavinnia's Veil: "A circlet of golden ivy upon which rests a thin, floor-length veil of the
finest lace, sprinkled with seed pearls and brilliants."

Lady Mariahh's Belt: "A silver serpentine belt" Show: The belt is crafted from pure silver in the form of a writhing, twisting serpent. The belt hangs low on the hips and has arcane runes etched into the surface. Tiny black diamonds dangle from the fangs, connected by delicate silver chains.

Lady Mariahh's and Lord Rikes' Staffs: "A black ebonwood staff" Show: Upon closer examination of the staff you see it is carved in the form of a writhing serpent with its fangs poised to strike. Gripped in its mouth is a large flawless black diamond. Its eyes are formed by two perfect deathstones.

"A twisted black fel staff" Show: Upon taking a closer look you see a twisted black fel staff with a rune etched golden veniom tip. You also notice the staff has polished black diamond studs twisting down it and is topped off by a large black diamond which is held in place by the mouth of a large coiled golden snake.

Lady Mistyrose's Gown: "An exquisite lowcut gown of diaphanous white satin with delicate puffed sleeves and a draping satin bow which leads to a train of gossamer stardust lace that catches the light with every movement"

(This is quite possibly the most famous wedding gown in Elanthian history. It was worn for Mistyrose's wedding to Lord Raphael, which still ranks as one of the greatest weddings of all time. The gown was created almost five real-time years ago, long before the "Plan C" weddings. Furthermore, during the "wedding blackout" when GM weddings were no longer being done, the gown was loaned out for countless weddings. Many Legendary Ladies were wed in this beautiful creation.)

Lord Truekillr's Robe: "An ebony robe richly accented by golden trim fashioned into the shape of a continuous set of interlocking keys."

Lord Truekillr's Pauldron and Espalier: "A black veil iron pauldron". Show: The pauldron is made to protect the wearers left shoulder giving more range of motion to the weapon arm. This particular pauldron is etched in golden glaes to form the image of a glorious phoenix rising in flight. Beneath it is a warrior leaning triumphantly upon his blade.

"An ancient ceremonial espalier" Show: This espalier is fashioned of gleaming, green glaes into the shape of a majestic dragon curling around the wearer's shoulder. It is wholly ceremonial in nature and offers no protection to the wearer, but was obviously forged with great care of a dwarven smith. The smith captured the movements of the dragon perfectly, leading one to believe he had intimate knowledge of the great beasts.

Lord Truekillr's Sandals: "A pair of open toed sandles held together by an intricate knotwork of
golden veniom thread"

Lady Ylena's Houpelande and Kirtle: "an elegant white muslin houpelande tightly backlaced with ruby-dusted silvery ribbons and embroidered at the hem with intertwined lutes in red and harps in silver"

"a sheer white cotton kirtle trimmed with silvery lace at the hem and sleeves"

Lady Ylena's Instrument Pouch: "a white satin instrument pouch embroidered with Cholen symbols in red and silver"

Lady Ylena's Slippers: "a pair of high heeled white satin slippers with an elaborate silver filigree overlay"

The Hall of Fame is ever expanding. I encourage you to send any beautiful items my way, so that I may add them to this list. This list is my opinion only, and in no way encompasses all the lovely items I have seen, or that even were worn by the adventurers featured here. It is simply an overview of the most eye-catching. Remember that these are unique items in the game; copying exactly these items would be in the poorest of taste.
