River, Mountain, Wedding: Ericah + Randy

Working with Ericah was such a joy! I created her custom two piece wedding gown just from exchanging emails, and then she came for a fitting in person to Kansas City. She made her own DIY Pre-wedding mini-tutu with gold streamers, how fun!?

We had such a great time together, and she even put up with te bumpy ride of me driving her around one one of my first days driving stick shift!

Ericah and Randy were married on May 8th at Dinosaur National Monument, CO.

More about the Couple.

Hooray for whimsical new commissions!

Can we have an “OH-YEAH!”?

Custom gown is created with champagne hand dyed cotton eyelet over an ivory shantung slip. Soft, asymmetrical tiers cascade down the skirt to give a light layered, multi textured look.

The bodice is a low V-front and a very cut out V back, with the neckline trimmed with touched ivory shantung that cascades into 2 streamers in front and a mock-train in back, that will gently move away from the body when walking.  This over piece adds movement and flow to the dress, and the train will bustle up to floor length after the ceremony.

V-neckline is accented with sage green lace and organza ribbon, for a soft and textured edge to the neckline.  A wrapping skinny leather belt cinches in the waist and adds a hard/soft contrast.  A “granny chain” across the back adds support between the shoulders, hand crafted to include personal components and a pendant drop in back down the spine.

I am so so so excited to make this gown!
