The wedding of Tanya and Jim was the most truly fabulous event. The pictures, so beautifully crafted by Pippa Mackenzie http://www.pippamackenzie.com/ say it al really. The dramatic staircase and sweeping thirties style Champagne coloured heavy crepe satin dress were a match made in wedding heaven. The location being Dartmouth House in Mayfair,Wow!!
I am very proud of the intricate cut I achieved with this dress, combining the bias draping without the "bagginess" that also accompany such a cut. It was good to have such a challenge and to stretch my cutting skills.
I feel that over the time of making Tanyas' dress I made a new friend. The fact that we kept bumping into each other as we live near each other added to this. I made a rare foray into making flower girl dresses for Tanya and Jims' irresistible girls. I adore how this wedding was so glamorous and sophisticated yet so very family friendly and fun too.
I had these perfect original thirties rather special dress clips to add to the dress.
I fortunately found the perfect modern vintage brooch. This was from a bridal supplier and looks very substantial while being very light in fact. We needed to find something light so as to not drag on the sash.
Tanya made all of these fine personal pieces.
Anyone for a slice of cheese!
