Abi and Dave

If you have read my blog lately, you know I have been involved in a project for Abi.  Well, here it is.  Deep breath.... what do you think? 

Abi, thanks for being so trusting and open.  Thanks for letting me get crazy with the texture.  It is rare to get to do whatever I want for a bride.  It is the ultimate situation but daunting non the less. 

These beautiful photos are done by Jacque Lynn, you can check out her blog here.  I do love how intimate and surreal these images turned out. 

Natalie and Rick's Groomals

Ashlee Raubach did such a wonderful job on this shoot.  I love a photographer who will capture the folds and details of the dress.  I know I say it a lot, but it is so important to me.  You should check out the rest of the shoot on this blog.  Really great work.   

I love the richness of the location.  I love the warm tones on the photographs.  But especially, I love the cute couple.  No, they are more than just cute.  They look perfect together. 

Here is the long rambling story that sort of has to do with this dress.  I was at the dentist waiting for my kids and, of course, I was hand sewing.  It was quite pleasant.  With the help of the dentist, I was multitasking.  In walked Zina, this really fabulous person from High School.  She asked me about the Knit dress.  It was surreal that she knew about the dress.  It was serendipitous to run into someone and already know how she was doing because of her blog, and to have her know how I was fairing made me feel so... not alone, for lack of  better words.

I love to see these shoots.  I can now relax about the knit dress because Natalie wears the gown well.  Do you all like the different gown idea?  Of course I am always happy when a bride re-invents how a bride should look.  I think it reads bridal from the simple veil to the shoes.  Great job Natalie.    

Ruffled Wedding Blog

The wedding blog ruffledblog.com put up Caitlin and Nate's groomals.  Hurray!  I blogged before about the shoot, which was done up here and at our neighbor's pond down the canyon.  Cute as all get out, that Nate and Caitlin.... and so fun to work with.
Lindsey Stewart, the great Green Apple photographer, greenapplephotographyonline.com was expecting her beautiful baby girl during the shoot, check out her blog for those lovely photos of her new born as well as other stunning photos! 
It was a lot of fun and I can't say enough about the dress and what a great project it was.  I said before, but will repeat, the liner pleating fabric equals 94 Yards.  The inspiration was of course Jacki O's wedding gown.  I LOVE being inspired by dresses that are from a different era, it always makes me so very happy.
