New featured gown

So the wedding season is slowing down for the Utah area, whew! It's been a busy one. I'm very much ready for some quality R&R to let my hands and fingers have a break!
I will be ready once again to take clients come around August/September, so book your appointments for your fall/winter weddings now.

But fear not! I promise to not leave you hanging on posts. As I have LOTS of pictures I have not yet posted from all my new samples from the last year.

Plus, I have been promised pictures from all my recent brides and I can't wait to show you the rest of the results of my busy summer season. AND I have just received the STUNNING bridals from my featured bride; Angela to share with you as well in upcoming posts. She is the bride who I documented the process of making a custom dress for.

In the mean time I wanted to share with you one of my newest samples from the Art Meets Fashion show.

This is the Marie gown, a two piece stunner in a soft sea blue-gray. The contoured corset accentuates the figure, giving it an old world feel while the fluttery flowers across the top of the corset and floor length skirt with flowing bias strips give a unique modern feel. The skirt moves, flows and flutters beautifully when in movement. This was one of my favorites from the show, I particularly love how photographer Zuzanna Audette caught the romantic feminine feel, I was going for in this design.
I was inspired by the movie Marie Antoinette (the one with Kirsten Dunst as Marie) I was instantly drawn to the color palette of the costumes that designer Milena Canonero used. All the soft tones of green, blue, pink and blue-grays were so yummy and I was particularly drawn the "I want candy" scene  where she indulges in all the fabric, dresses, shoes and jewelry.

Enjoy!
