Romantic Silk Taffeta Gown

January 19, 2018

 

On a lovely day in September, my brother married his love. Kira wanted something romantic and feminine, so we settled on a silk taffeta gown with a corseted basque waist, handmaid silk flowers and a beaded lace neckline.

Our family! (Side bar, I whipped together my own dress the week before! [I’m the one on the bride’s left.])

 

 

….Happily ever after!

Beaded Ethereal Dream

January 12, 2018

2017 was a whirlwind of a year! Four family weddings, MOH twice, and a trip to Scotland with the man kept me so busy, I am only now sharing photos with you all! The next three blog posts are so very special to me, as they feature three of my sisters (two of them sisters by marriage). I hope you enjoy!

 

Ruth was the girl who always said that she wanted a simple wedding in the backyard, and that she would wear a second hand-wedding dress. That certainly is not how her dress or her wedding ended up!

 

Over a hundred yards of tulle and silk went into this delicately beaded confection of a dress.

 

More than 300 hours of hand-stitching lace to tulle to create that organic feel. The end product was so very worth it. Ruth looked like a classic Dior model, swirling about a Paris atelier!

 

 

Warmly,

Cassandra
