The Wedding Dress. Jenna has described it as “simple and elegant.” Well, it’s how you define “simple.” Her gown was created by the house of international fashion dahling Oscar de la Renta, who also designs for Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II. The dress is made of organza with intricate embroidery and matte beading and a small train. That’s all that’s been revealed, so the big question remains: Will Jenna go strapless? The inside word is: “Yes.”
• The Big Stone Cross. The exact dimensions remain secret, but the president called it “giant.” The limestone came from a local quarry, the same one that furnished the stone for the Bush ranch home. The cross/altar will remain as a permanent landmark in front of the Bush lake.
• The Bridesmaid’s Dresses. No military-style uniformity: Each of the 14 members of what Texans call “the house party” will wear a different gown.
Jenna’s twin sister, Barbara Bush, serves as maid of honor, appearing in a long, shimmering, moonstone-blue silk number with an open back accented with a silver sash, designed by Lela Rose. The other gowns will be cocktail-length in blues, greens, lavenders and pinks, with handmade chiffon flowers echoing the wildflowers now in bloom on the local prairie.
• The Ring. The diamond is a Hager family heirloom, placed in a new setting that includes sapphires.
Meanwhile, the hapless Chelsa is still a working girl
