Custom hand-painted design silkscreened onto fabric, with the addition of laser cut petals.

Showing a small section of silk fabric, which was custom printed from a watercolor of abstract hydrangeas I did for a special mother of the bride gown.

The beautiful spring wedding was held in Highlands, North Carolina, and the color palette matched the flowers & theme chosen by the bride.

Laser cut and layered silk organza petals were hand applied with small crystal beads to give the flowers a multidimensional feel, adding a pretty movement to the hem.

Inspiration: Detail section of embroidery on tulle from an Oscar de la Renta couture gown.

Oscar de La Renta was a true couture designer and a widely respected gentleman in the fashion industry

A while back, I had the honor of doing a small amount of conservation work on one of his beautiful couture pieces.

While the design was relatively new, the concentrated use of antique gold threads and french sequins in the embroidery gave this gown a rich vintage patina.

It was exquisite work and a privilege to be able to have a hand on it if even in a small way.

Thrilled to be recently swept up into the wonderful world that is for the whirlwind creation of a custom party dress for her wedding reception in Italy.

A silk dress hand embroidered with crystal beads, animal print detailing, and white ostrich feather drops. All of which, by some serendipitous miracle, continued the theme of her beautiful wedding gown!

I loved designing and creating for Heather. A gorgeous bride and fabulous woman!
