My bride Molly and I were
first introduced when she came into the salon with her friend to view the gowns
we had. Molly instantly fell in love with Samarah from my Fall 2012 collection.
After trying on a few of my other gowns, Molly needed more time to decide
if Samarah was the right dress for her or if she wanted to try a different
look. A few months past by and I did not hear anything from Molly until
she called me at the salon to inform it was time to get the process started on
her Samarah gown.
To make her gown a bit more
personalized, we added delicate ¾ length lace sleeves and created a mid-back
“V’ shaped neckline. We kept the dress at mid-knee, although she had
considered a longer length when she first tried it on a few months back. The
Samarah gown and Molly’s personal style/personality complimented each other
fantastically! To top off her remarkable look we created a classic pillbox hat
out of the same Dupioni silk as the under dress. Molly suggested the hat have a
bow on the side to add a bit of detail, along with French netting that would be
used in place of a veil.
Molly and Stephen’s wedding
took place at the historic Camarillo Ranch in the beautiful Ventura County. The
open space and outdoor scenery was the perfect match for their rustic, fun, and
unforgettable wedding. The bride and groom along with their wedding party
performed a “flash mob” dance for their guest to mix of their favorite songs.
The incredible Jen, of Fondly Forever Photography, captured their special day
and festive reception.
