Wow, talk about a blast from the past! This is one bride that will “knock-your-socks-off”. Her 1940’s themed wedding was about as spectacular as they come. She thought of every little detail from the classic vintage car, to her newly minted husband’s fedora, to the unique gown that we created together.
Amanda is a true one-of-a-kind bride. During our initial phone conversation she informed me that her dream wedding would be different from anything else out there, and she was right! From the moment we met, she was on a constant “high” planning her day. Her gown needed to be the focal point of the celebration and make a statement, so that everything else could revolve around her and her elegant gown.
Drawing inspiration from such classic screen sirens as Rita Hayworth and Heddy LaMar, we designed a fluid gown fit for the most sumptuous screen legends. It hugged every curve, swooped and swayed, draped and dropped, and flowed like fluid silk. Its super-wide train creates a pool of silk for the silky-slinky form-fitting gown to fall into, creating a larger than life silhouette. The almost never-ending row of real crochet-hook buttons down the back is as real as it comes. Because Amanda is a dancer, and dancing was a must at her reception, I decided to add a wrist strap to enhance her dancing ability. It turned out to be a charming addition, allowing her not only to dance without stumbling over her gown, but creating yet another vintage look for her.
I loved working with Amanda. It was a such a pleasure to work with her and share in her unique day!! Thanks Amanda!
