Good luck ladies!!

What a great wedding in Melbourne, Australia. One of my favorite Josephines ever! In all ivory, with ivory sash and 3/4 length sleeves, it is just oh-so-classy and elegant!

Sayde got her dress from Klieinfeld in NY. It was just perfect on her! Her version is ivory lace with blush silk with an ivory bow. Very subtle and pretty.

I love this custom full length, cap sleeved Audrey dress!

I love this original version of Josephine, ivory lace over blush silk with mango ice cream bow.

Another beautiful bride in a great dress!!

I love this Josephine with longer sleeves and wide belt rather than then usual bow…..the only dress on the planet like this one!!

How awesome is this venue in Clarksdale, Mississippi with incredible photos by Captured Photography

words from my happy bride brought tears to my eyes….”Hi Stephanie! Thank you so so so much for the most wonderful wedding dress ever! I’m sure you hear this all the time and I don’t know how to say it in a unique way, but the dress you made me was the most special dress I will ever own. It fit perfectly both in terms of size and style. Working with you was a delight. I felt so pretty. I cannot thank you enough.

Yours with so much thanks,
Colleen”

What a beautiful lace, tea length, retro, vintage inspired wedding dress!

Emma came up with a beautiful version of the Josephine that was all her own!! She looks amazing in 3/4 length sleeves and organza sash!!

SUCH a gorgeous bride in the perfect dress!! This Mrs. Kennedy was customized to have a surplice bustling rather than the usual regular V neck…SUCH a great modification!! Fabulous photos by Tanya Lynn Photography!!

Darien found my dresses at Uptown Bridal in Arizona, but came out to see me for her fittings and finally, her bridal portrait!! (I have been a professional photographer for over 8 years, for those of you who don’t know!!). Her wedding is coming up in January, so here’s a sneak peek!! She wanted the Audrey dress, but we did it full length, with short sleeves and the Hillary overlay instead of the usual Audrey dots. I made her veil just for her too!! It is a “hooded” veil with bow details…one that attaches to the back of the dress!! She looks amazing!!
