Sarah's June Wedding PART II

As promised here are some pictures of Sarah's wedding dress which was custom designed: made from french lace and silk, v-neck front and back, fitted to the hi-hip with a soft drapey flare in skirt. Finished with beaded flower appliques of pearls and swarovski crystals.

These are some of the most elegant and beautiful dancing pictures I've seen, the bride and groom danced to the russian waltz, I love how it shows off the fullness in the skirt.

Sarah's June Wedding PART I

I am so thrilled to get these pics from Sarah's June wedding! I designed and created both the wedding gown and bridesmaids dresses. The colors and setting of this wedding are incredible, absolutely beautiful! Two of the bridesmaids wanted a custom print with sleeved dresses, one of the bridesmaids wanted the monarch color pleated collar dress. Sarah's wedding gown was made from silk and french lace, custom designed, more details and pics to come....

Enjoy!

Grace's Wedding

Very cool photos from Grace's June wedding, love the natural setting, very romantic.

The bride is wearing a custom made gown I created in white cotton voile with a red brocade sash (the brocade was a special request). The groom has a matching red handkerchief from the same fabric. Lovely!

NEW: Lace top!

I love this cotton lace top, it's so easy and fun to wear, perfect all year round for casual but special occasions, wear it with jeans layered over a cami, perfect for a fun bridal or baby shower! The handmade roses and pearls add an extra special element.

Lace Shift Dress

Hats off to Heather who is wearing the Lace Shift Dress at a recent wedding, so lovely!

Happy Labor day weekend everyone!
