Oh! I just remembered I never showed you pictures of this wedding dress, which I made for one of the sweetest brides on Earth. Seriously. Katie was nothing but adorable and sweet throughout the entire process (not to mention her adorable and sweet mom and grandmother). For the record, every bride I’ve worked with has been lovely – I’m very lucky – but Katie was overwhelmingly so and I really loved making this dress for her.
She came to me with a few definite ideas: a halter with a cummerbund, a 1950′s silhouette, accents in pale green (to match her green sapphire engagement ring) and YELLOW. Okay, I have to admit, the green AND yellow terrified me – I had no idea what to do with that (aside from a circus theme). But I sketched a few things out, and after meeting her, I knew this dress was going to be AWESOME. This is what we came up with:
In order to get the perfect green, I hand-painted every single leaf and then hand-stitched them to white flower appliques and little tufts of tulle. And here’s the cutie pie wearing it on her wedding day:
And check out her adorable husband in his suit and the yellow tie – love it. Congratulations, you two!
