Here are the pictures for my second wedding commission.
The wedding is on Saturday and we are due to have more snow, so I know the wedding photo's will be really pretty.
I made an outfit for the Mother Of The Bride and I also made the Groom's waistcoat and cravats and ties for the page boys and escorts.
The mother Of The Bride outfit was designed by myself and the Mother. It is made in a really vivid lime green silk douppion. The jacket is shaped like a riding jacket with it longer on the back and shorter on the front. We decided to put the beading on the back at the vent although the obvious place to put it would have been on the lapels, I wanted to do something less obvious. The sleeves are a bell shape.
The dress has an empire line with a sash. the embellishment is on the ends of the sash and around the sleeves. The bottom half of the sleeves is made in chiffon. The shape of the dress is very fitted with the skirt section being almost like a hobble skirt - it looks really great on.
I was also asked to decorate the feathered hair band she will be wearing to incorporate the lime colourway as she wasn't keen on wear plain black with the outfit. (This is the last picture).
I used regular lime seed beads and Swarovski crystals squares for the embellishment which is featured around the dress sleeves, on the sash ends and on the back of the jacket.
The Groom's waistcoat is made in the same silk douppion but in violet with a lining of silver, covered marigold buttons and silver back buckle.
Let me know what you think.
Have a great evening. X
