Here Comes the Sun

This was such a fun wedding dress to design, so unique, Juanita (the bride) wanted a bright yellow wedding dress with sleeves, the inspiration was 'Here comes the Sun' which was the wedding song.  This is such a great way to really personalize a wedding and make it your own. I love the bright colors and the sunflower bouquets.

Wedding Toppers

These wedding toppers by Goose Grease are absolutely adorable!  Here is a pair painted after one of my custom wedding gown clients for an upcoming June wedding.  These are perfect for brides who have a signature wedding gown design, it really makes the wedding more personalized.

Real Wedding: Ivory Cotton Sateen Dress

Weddings are my favorite subject and I'm always so thrilled to get pictures from clients weddings.  Here are photos of Nathalie wearing the wedding dress I created for her spring wedding. This dress is so modern and fun!  Draped bust with vertical darts running down the torso into a poufy skirt, made from cotton sateen, perfect for a fabulous wedding party!

May Flowers, still rain showers

I'm now in Oregon and the most noticeable thing is all the pretty pink trees and tulips.  It's really pretty here, I'm still trying to make a bit of time to explore but as I'm in the middle of bridal season it's been hard to get out.  I've only been in Oregon for a week exactly and today I  was able to take a quick walk to the store once the rain stopped, here are some pics from my walk:

Pretty pink trees!

Tulips!
I found this really cute fabric store full of pretty prints, this reminded me of all the pink flowers I've been running across.
