A recent wedding...

I'm delighted to receive these pictures from one of my clients who was married this Christmas just past, in New Zealand. I wanted to share the images because they show that dresses can be a mix of traditional and unusual. Robyn knew she didn't want a fluffy dress and chose the black guipure lace herself and brought it to me to use. The effect looks great! She looks both 'a bride' and totally herself!

OK, I was recently reading one of my favourite blogs The Coffee Lady and she used a great excuse for not posting regularly and referred to her last post of a few weeks back as 'just then'. Her excuse was that time travels faster as you age, to which I thought, how true is that? And decided to borrow that same excuse for myself! So in my last post 'just then' what was I on about? Showing you Hannah's winter wedding I think.

Gaia Dress

I've added a new dress to my window display. Take a look over there to the right...see it? This dress has been in my collection in various forms for a few years now. It's SO popular!

I call it a 'skipping through the fields with daisies' dress! It can be made in various ways - as is, strapless, sleeveless or change the neckline shape if you like. I think this adaptability is what has also kept it such a popular design. It's wonderfully understated and comfortable, and has no boning, although if you fancy a bit of support, it can be adapted to include a boning layer.

A few posts back I showed you some pics of Jo - one of my summer brides and her dress as it was being made. I want to quickly revisit Jo and show you some more of her pictures, purely because they make me smile - she looks so relaxed and happy *sigh* :o) Before I forget, all the following pictures are courtesy of Kerpixel . Here she is walking towards the ceremony with her Dad... These next set of pictures are what I call the 'swishing series'! All systems ready... Preparing for take-off... We have lift off! Circling... And rest... A close up of the back detail  The happy couple! I will visit this wedding one more time with some cute bridesmaid shots, but I'll save those for another day.
