Amazing dresses

So while I was looking for inspiration for dresses, I found this:

Even though this dress looks like something for halloween rather then a wedding, the method for making it could lead to a future fashion trend.
The silk is made from genetically engineered silk worms. Scientists have tweeked the worms silk producing process to create florescent coloured silk.
So far this process has been used to create stand out suits and ties, but now wedding dress designer Yumi Katsura has creating this show stopping piece.


This has got me thinking about my chosen wedding dress ( which is not white ) and other unusual dress designs:

This stunning Aline black tulle dress would be perfect in a shabby chic wedding, for a simple clean look. 

It seems that Japanese brides have all the fun!

The green colour just pops with this transitional ball gown with a twist. 

Geen fairy! 

A "sheepish" bride from Lincoln had an unusual idea for her dress, which stemmed from rural transitions and a passion to promote alternative materials.

I am usually very disheartened at 'shearing time' seeing our beautiful clippings of lustrous locks bagged and practically given to the wool board! I have consequently set out on a mission to prove that wool is still a wonderful commodity to be celebrated, and what better way to celebrate it than on our own wedding day.

Bouquets!!!!

Hi everyone,

Sorry for the lack of activity, I've been busy procrastinating about sending out save the dates.
After not being too happy with the original print (mainly due to my silly spelling error), I have finally sent the updated cards off to be printed!

I just wanted to post up what Mum (Marcia) and I have been up to over the last few weeks:

This was our first attempt at doing wedding flowers, but i am so happy with how it turned out.
Thank you so much to Barbra who provided the die cutter and to my fabulous mum who created the stunning arrangements.

This is the first of the bridesmaids bouquets, made from hand crafted fabric flowers, buttons and vintage broaches. We also added shabby chic lace to the base for the ultimate crafty touch.
It looks stunning, so pleased how it turned out.
Now onto making four more!!!
