It's basically wedding as costume ball. Not my thing. To each his own. I can see how some people might want this, but I'd hope that they'd reassure people that what really matters is having them there to share the special day, and that they can wear whatever they like if they don't feel comfortable in the costume.

Does anyone else think it is poor form to demand anything of the guests? Especially something so specific? "But my photos!" Wow.
Yes, it's obnoxious. Only people who are celebrities in their own little fantasy world in their head do this.
I wonder if there are statistics on likelihood of divorce when you do stupid shit like this for your wedding.

Sorry, I should have included those in my original post. They are having 30% off your entire purchase through Mother's Day.
Thank you!
I was coming to post the same links and also to add: if you like the looks of the Talbots outfit (which I agree is pretty), it seems like you could find a similar white skirt and top anywhere. Much easier than messing with ebay and alterations.
I was looking at some lace skirts on eBay too. I think matching the whites might be an issue. In the wedding group shots someone else posted, it seems like that was a problem for several people.

While I was appreciative of the links and ideas, most of the things posted will not fit me. I really liked the talbots outfit, but they're not currently selling it on their website. I don't really want to spend hundreds of dollars on a dress I'll have to alter and am not going to wear often. Also, eBay has all of the same brands as retailers like Nordstrom.
Maybe try eshakti.com? I have several large-busted friends who swear by it.
Customizable dresses! Thank you! Even if I buy the lace skirt, I'm going to bookmark this one.

Really? You mean the guy in the front, the only one wearing a jacket, doesn't strike you as the groom? And with only 3 people sitting you don't think that 2 of them are the bride and groom? I' not sure who the woman on the left is, but the two on the right sitting in the chairs clearly stand out as the bride and groom to me.[/quote]
Only because of the staging in those particular shots you can assume which couple is the bride & groom, but in others, like couples dancing, groups of friends, candid shots, you wouldn't be able to pick them out. I can certainly appreciate not wanting to be the center of attention, but at your wedding that seems like the one time you would want to stand out from the crowd.
