Happy Independence Day, people of the U.S.! We get so few vacations in general that this one always seems really special. To mark the occasion, here is a dress conceived of by Gregory Cherico, owner of Anne Gregory for the Bride.

And here is a cake to match, from Diana’s Dream Cakes — which is actually in Canada.

For full color coordination, look at last year’s July fourth post for a red, white, and blue ring idea. Too bad the fireworks are going to get rained out, at least here in Boston.

    I like how the dress form has mini flags instead of a head!

    One of the formal wear shops near me has a display of patriotic dresses in their window this week. I have to say, I sort of liked the white skirt they displayed that had an inset of red and white striped fabric in the front, but I would have eschewed the blue bodice with it.
