All you need is Love... and some beautiful girls in purple!

In the balmy months of a Houston summer, I started my quest to design and create one of a kind dresses for a one of a kind bridal party.  The bride, an absolutely stunning brunette, had two of her dearest friends as bride's maids and three equally stunning daughters with very different personalities and ideas about how they wanted to look on the special day... a total of 5 dresses, for a New Year wedding.
 

Marra, the bride, and I started talking about colors and fabric, and style of wedding she would be having.  Pulling from the flowers in her bouquet we chose 2 shaded of the most lovely purple.

The creative juices flowed, as I put pencil to paper to come up with a concept that complimented the bride's gown, encompassed the sassy-ness of all three girls, and the sophistication of her friends.

Sketches made way to muslins... muslins lead to layers of boning, corsettery, tulle and hand beading.

Many months of hand sewing, tweaking and fitting lead to the magical day when the Marra and her girls said "I do" to their new family with groom, Brian.  I'd like to think I was hugging them the whole time.

Thank you Marra, Brian, for letting me be a part of something so special.  You are girls were incredible to work with, what a joy to have 'Dressgirls' buzzing around my place!  And your friends we a joy to work with!  What a beautiful group of people! 

May your love for each other continue to bloom for many years to come!
