Julie and Chris






Photography courtesy of Mod4

Last year when Julie picked up her gown, we posted a picture of her on our website as she looked then. Our photo didn't do her justice.

Just this week, her photographer, Mod4 was kind enough to send us two great photos taken of the couple on their wedding day at The Henry Ford in Dearborn.

Chris is an illustrator for Star Wars and Julie is a creative director for a local ad agency. Together they put together the most amazing wedding with a STAR WARS theme. The photographer has captured this unique event on their blog. Take a look on http://www.mod4.com/blog

Just in ...

Wonderful photos of Janine Kenaan's wedding to Gary Greenberg. The photos shown here were furnished courtesy of the Princess Cruise Line.

What a romantic setting for a beautiful wedding that was shared by the couple's families and closest friends. We can see the sun setting on the happy couple as they share a kiss and spend a few private moments at sunset.




Janine was such a wonderful bride to work with. We loved creating all the details of her dress starting from only a photo of a gown and then adding the detail of pickups and crystal banding from the our inventory of silk and trims.



We hope that the Greenbergs enjoy many years of happiness.

The Perfect Dress for a Summer Garden Wedding



When Rebecca O'Leary came to us in May of this year, it was after an exhaustive search for a dress that she could feel comfortable in for her July wedding.Rebecca wanted something with sleeves, yet something that wasn't like many of the ball gowns or strapless dresses she found in area bridal shops. She only knew she wanted something that floated, was light weight and easy to move in. We put her in this ivory charmeuse with a dress tulle overlay and a slight rouching at the bustline. For a touch of elegance, we added this dramatic crystal embroidery just above the skirt. It was perfect!

Rebeca brought her niece Gracie to her fittings. Gracie has agreed to model a flower girl dress for us in the future.

The wedding took place at the Tollgate Center in Novi on one of the hottest days of the summer. A surprise thunderstorm greeted the couple midway through the afternoon. Rebecca was happy that her dress was so light.

The couple received their guests at a family home in Highland, Michigan.

Rebecca, you were a joy to work with.

Red Carpet Anyone?


Here's a dress to suit the most dramatic and sophisticated of brides.

We're noticing that mothers of the wedding are getting more dramatic, and won't settle for any of those matronly dresses that they're finding in most bridal salons.

We now have a large supply of beaded fabrics in the most beautiful colors. Pair one of them with a luxe chiffon or silk charmeuse and dance at your daughter's [or son's] wedding. You'll feel like a celebrity on the Red Carpet.

Give us a call and come in to see what we can do for you.
