"...it seemed so easy to feel her lovely energy"
A custom made fitted lace wedding dress with sleeves
When Bernadette walked into my studio, I clearly remember her beautiful smile and soft curly brown hair. She sent out a sexy and elegant aura. As we began sketching her custom couture gown, it seemed so easy to feel her lovely energy and in particular, I noticed her love for hearts and pearls…
…as we continued creating we decided on a fitted all over lace dress that finished with a swooping train. A look that showed off her elegant curvaceous figure with see-through lace sleeves for a sexy and modest feel.
We created a pearl beaded belt to emphasise her waist with a heart detail feature in the front. Bernadette loved the idea of contrasting her red high heels. We matched her pearl heart beaded belt with red suede high heels that were covered with red hearts.
The styling aspect for me and completing the whole look for my brides is something very special. We finished the look with a pearl beaded wrist cuff that was attached to a ring worn on her hand and a dainty hair clip to emphasise her beautiful smile and soft curls.
What did the bride think about her dress?
“Getting married is so exciting, but stressful also! Catherine made my journey pain-free, peaceful and fun, we had such an amazing time working on my dress, she supported me and understood what I wanted. The fit of my dress was amazing, as was the design! I felt so beautiful on my wedding day, thankyou Catherine for being part of this amazing journey with me!”
