Real Brides: Jodi

I loved getting to know Jodi, a bride who requested a custom wedding dress recently. We began by talking about what she had in mind for her gown. Usually I have the bride show me some pictures of gowns they like to get a feel for what they have in mind. We then began to hone down the details to get a firmer idea for her 'dream gown'.

Jodi's bouquet has the most gorgeous roses in soft shell pink shades.

We made the gown fairy-like and wispy with an asymmetrical hemline and details and a soft silk bodice. The skirt was lace over a cream base. I love the flower crown she created to accent the laced back. The straps were soft tulle and cream silk. The bodice back laced with sheer chiffon that trailed down to the ecru chiffon tie at the waist.

Jodi wanted a custom ecru tie for the groom, Don to flow with her colors. I love how the color accents his shirt and pants and how they all come together to compliment her gown & flowers.

It's always such a wonderful experience to see the gowns I've created on the bride at the wedding. I especially loved getting to enjoy Jodi's and Don's pictures and share vicariously in their happiness.
