VOTED THE "MOST FAVORITE"

This gown received the most "Oohs and Aahs" of any in our studio.  The gown is made of silk taffeta and satin faced silk organza.  There are 50 hand-rolled  rosettes and 50 yards of silk organza in the ruffles.  The skirt alone took over 50 hours to finish.

We started off May with a "bang!"  Four weddings and four beautiful brides.  Here is a preview of Jamie's dream dress.  It was inspired by a museum piece that she once saw, and combined with the grace and flowiness of the dresses worn in the '40s by actress Ginger Rogers.  Jamie wanted a dress that would allow her to have the romantic look of organza in a removable overskirt, and then remove it to dance the night away in a graceful skirt.  Her gown was constructed of a beautiful silk charmeuse.


Jamie's Aunt Mary from California put her own talent to work to create a beautiful beaded lace veil.  The combined look was "devine!"  Thank you Aunt Mary.

We took these pics with our new I-phone.  Once we get the photographer's official images, we'll share them.

And here's a way to add an elegant touch to an otherwise simple gown.  Although we didn't make thi lace edge vail  for Jamie, it's similar to the one that her Aunt Mary made.




Our second bride, Rebecca, opted for a traditional look with a dramatic flair.  We created this ivory silk organza gown with a more traditional neckline, a ruched bodice and a pleated insert on the left side that created the beginning of a wonderful train.  You won't find anything like it in the bridal salons.

Again, we're waiting for a photographer's version.
