Dressing the Bride!

You would think, as a designer, that I see brides all the time. This is not true! Most of the time I see my designs on models at photo shoots or hanging in our studio. So it is always exciting to see photos sent in by brides or retail stores! *insert* if you are a VT bride, we would love to see your photos, and post them on our site!!

On the other hand, a wonderful aspect of being a designer has always been the honor of designing for friends. Recently..... our fearless Ladies Who Launch, Denver leader, Nancy Sharp was married to Channel 7 anchor Steve Saunders.

Aren't they beautiful?

Nancy bought a Calvin Klein gown in a very beautiful champagne color, so we chose an Ecru color tulle with a tan edge to compliment the color of the gown. * A Perfect Match* At first she thought she wanted and very simple 2 layer veil style V505. However, after insisting Nancy try every length to ensure she was getting exactly what she wanted, she decided on a ballet length veil with a blusher and scattered pearls! It was beautiful and pulled her whole look together! And I was thrilled at the opportunity to be a part!!!

Congratulations Nancy, you are truly beautiful inside and out!

Interestingly enough, I also designed the exact same veil for a friend last summer. She chose the same veil w/out the pearls . Here is a photo of her Hawaii wedding.

Of all the veils I have created for friends, I would say that this veil is by far the most popular! The reason? The ballet length veil gives you the long flowing look, but you can wear it to the reception as well and it won't drag on the ground. Brides love it!

Here is a better look at what it looks like. As our photos aren't representing it very well...
