Recent Wedding - Alice

Image
Here is one of my stunning spring brides to show you. Alice came to see me last year, and more or less knew exactly what she wanted - wow - easy! The first 3 images are her dress on the stand when it was almost finished. As you can see it was a full length, all-over lace dress, fitted... ...with shoulder straps and a fishtail shape. Alice provided the brooch (which was actually a buckle that we adapted), and the shrug was something that was added towards the end, when thoughts of chilly weather were discussed.   Here she is with her father, pre-wedding. ...and there she goes - wedded with her chap!

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. Well quite a lot has happened since then, wedding work and otherwise. The thing with blogging is choosing what to share and what not to share. I'm sure many people like to read only promotional stuff or choose to write only 'happy' stuff, and that must be wonderful if it works for you, but I find that style paralysing for many reasons, not least because when one is a creative type, (I prefer the word 'bohemian' at present, but more on that another time! ;)) one is influenced and motivated by everything...
