Her dress is an off-white tafetta, with beaded bodice, a modified sweetheart neckline, pleated waistline, full gathered skirt, rhinestone buttons and pockets.

Yes! Pockets! The bride also had two veils, one long and formal, and a shorter cage veil for fun!

Off white silk duppioni gown. Sweetheart neckline, puff cap sleeves and cross-over gathered bodice. Drop waist, pick-ups, bubble hem skirt and pearl buttons. Calf-length tulle rolled edge veil.

Julia was such a treat! She also has pink silk duppioni bridesmaids dresses made – I’m waiting on pics of those!

Makenna brought me her mother’s gown. Here it is completely redesigned, with new neckline, waistline, new buttons, sleeve length and two silk duppioni sashes. Her veil is cut out of the original dress as well. Makenna’s mom wins the award for BEST Mother of the Bride. Seriously, I can’t even believe how calm she was about letting Makenna completely redesign her gown. It started off as an empire waist, baby-doll style with long sleeves, high neck, and gathered train coming out of the empire seam in the back. (Mom says she’ll bring me photos!) Thanks to Makenna and Mom for an enjoyable, non-stressful experience!

Bridal Shoes

March 3, 2008 by jessicamaybridal

The bridal season has begun and is in full swing! I am busy busy busy with 11 dresses right now, but no photos until after the weddings occur. (Sorry Grooms – no spoilers here!) In the meantime, here’s a post about shoes. I have lots of clients struggle finding the perfect shoes to go with their gowns. Hands down, my number one recommedation for where to get bridal shoes is Zappos.com. They have an amazing return policy, and an easy-peasy search system for finding your perfect shoe. I wasn’t much of an online shopper until I found Zappos, and now I’m hooked. I have war-torn competitive figure skating feet, and I was able to find the perfect pair of -gasp- comfortable bridal shoes. The best way to search their site (in my humble opinion) is in the general dress shoe area, narrowed down by color. I find the “bridal” shoe section they have to be a little narrow minded for the fashion forward bride. Select your shoe size, heel height preference and then color selection. Try White, Beige, Bone, Gold, Khaki, Metallic, Neutral, Silver, Tan, Taupe and of course, White. Their price range from around $40.00 to $90.00 for most of their shoes, and there is even a designer section as well.

A beautiful bride! Her dress was silk satin and cotton lace. Here’s part of the email I received from her when she sent me these photos:

Okay, here are my favorites that I believe show off your beautiful handiwork. I LOVE these… Every time I look at these pictures I realize again how happy I am I had you make my dress. It was perfect.
