Busy Wedding Season with New Gowns, Jewelry and Invitations
It’s been a while since I have posted a blog but it’s been a very busy Spring and now Summer with wedding season in full bloom.
Since my last post, I have created a wonderfully fun 50′s Marilyn Style Wedding Dress for Amanda with an adorable kiwi green petticoat and tie accenting the dress. I am anxiously awaiting wedding photos to share and will get them posted as soon as they are available. For now, I am attaching a photo from one of the fittings so you can get a flavor for the dress.
Next came some very fun wedding invitations for Camille. She had an outdoor wedding and wanted something lighthearted for their personalities and location. I have attached a photo of the final product.
Then I started creating some fabulous new bridal jewelry and a birdcage that ended up very beautiful. Many more items to come when I have time to create between booked weddings.
Finally, the most beautiful gown yet is in production for Kristin in North Carolina. It is a stunning trumpet style with a sweetheart strapless shantung silk undergown and then topped with a full overlay using the finest Italian lace. I don’t have photos of this one yet, but be prepared to want one for yourself. This gown would easily sell for $4,-5000+ in a designer bridal salon. The finished gown will sell for a little over $1,600. This is where my specialty lye’s. I can’t compete with a $300-$500 David’s Bridal gown, nor do I want to. When a bride is looking at designer gowns selling in the thousands, many times I can create a similar gown to fit their style and personality for less than half of the designer price.
Following Kristin will be a very pretty halter gown for Jessica made from silk 3-ply silk and full chiffon overlay for an end of August wedding.
Keep checking back and I’ll keep you posted on my progress.
