We love our adventurous brides. Of all the crazy wedding day shoots we’ve seen, we think that Genny’s takes the cake. Our gorgeous gal waded into the waters after her wedding and got these EPIC shots.
For Genny, fitted most of the bodice of the dress, including fitting the sleeves and the bust. We couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out ❤️

There is nothing we love more than we meet a bride who is completely in love with her dress. And that was exactly who our wonderfully sweet Julie was!
Julie’s beautiful BHLDN gown had lots of delicate flowers and gorgeous detailing that made it so unique and special to work with. We altered Julie’s dress and ensured that every little detail was in place for her beautiful wedding! Including her multi-layer tulle hem, which was fluffed to perfection on her big day :)
I mean look at her! She is a basically a magical fairy princess! ❤️

Diana’s dress was one of our favorite dresses… and also one of the hardest to alter!
This beautiful cap-sleeved gown was among the most delicate dresses we’ve ever worked with… and very interestingly was sewn in so many separate pieces!
Our girl Diana was an absolute dream to work with, and we are so, so happy her dress came out to be picture perfect. We fit the bust, the length, and the bustle, and worked some secret magic under the hood to make sure everything felt and looked great :)
In fact, we couldn’t narrow down photo options… so here is a huge peak at Diana’s big day!

Lisa told us she was thrilled when she found us - she lived right around the corner and said that the location could not be more convenient for her! She told us she had a statement dress, but we were so surprised when our tiny little gal pulled out this wonder of a gown with so much character… and fluff!!
We ended up altering Lisa’s dress for her from head to toe - we fit the straps, added in those cups, and all also made sure the waist and hip, fit her like a glove. We also did the bustle for her - which BTW, doesn’t even look bustled ;)
As a fun bonus, we also altered two of her bridesmaids dresses for her!
Congrats lovely Lisa!!

A new blog series for us…. Things We Love!!!
First up, the beautiful bridal accessories company, Luna + Stone! We first found this Canadian designer on Etsy, and we quickly formed a warm and happy relationship with this sweet little company. We love the ethereal and chic look of all of their sashes, and they really tie the final touches on a dress all together! We also love the care and love they put into every sale, and the gorgeous little packaging they send along with their sashes :)
We stock Luna + Stone in our boutique, and we are *positive* that one of their beautiful sashes can elevate your beautiful dress <3

Before Michelle came into our studio, she was uneasy about how on earth she was going to get her gorgeous Stella York dress by Essense of Australia to fit her. Completely beaded on the sides, there is no natural seam line available to take in the dress. But she came into see us… and we got to know her fun, life-filled spirit and worked our tailoring magic. it. looked. perfect.
Congrats Michelle!

Believe it or not, this beautiful lace number you see in this album is a 50+ year old dress! Brittany is wearing her restored, grandmother’s dress. While we do not usually accept vintage dress redesigns, we took this case beach the bride herself was the sweetest there ever could be, and because we could tell just how special this dress really is.
