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.
