Mid-Week Inspiration: Winter Weddings

I always thought a winter wedding would be so romantic. A furry shrug, a cozy sweater, cranberry and evergreen accents, a quiet snowy landscape...

Here is some winter wedding inspiration. 

How gorgeous is this dress? 

Just lovely!

Love the sweater, mittens, and dashing groom!

This cake! I might have a winter themed party- just to serve this!

Mid-Week Inspiration: Tiffany Blue Wedding

I love Tiffany blue, mint, Robin's egg blue... these colors never get old, especially for weddings! 

How pretty is this table setting?  I love the blue with the pink flowers!

I wouldn't reserve these shoes just for weddings! 

Would you wear a Tiffany blue wedding dress? It's gorgeous! 

Love this headboard with the simplicity of the white bedding.

My Projects: Custom Wedding Dress Finished

The wedding dress I've been working on is finished! I'm really pleased with how it came out. Here it is!

My Projects: Custom Wedding Dress

Now that the swimsuit cover ups are done, I can fully concentrate on this very special and very exciting project. I have been commissioned to make a wedding dress based on my own design shown above! The Bride to be found me through my Etsy store, The Sparkling Cocktail, where similar styles are for sale. The dress, although made from my own pattern not a vintage one, is very retro inspired with a bias cut skirt and side godets. We decided on the most gorgeous shade of champagne silk charmeuse to replace the black, and a special champagne French lace with a slight metallic silver thread to replace the chiffon in the side godets. The photos below do not give these fabrics justice but will give you an idea. I will show photos of the finished product soon!
