Sarah's Gown

I met Sarah Lorkovic, from Bravo Salon, many months ago during our Pasadena Magazine Photo Shoot when she modeled one of my gowns for their real weddings section. As you look through the Collection pages of our website, you can find her modeling some of my gowns! But, at the time of the Shoot, she still had not purchased her wedding gown , so after talking, Sarah made an appointment to see me. She already had something very specific in mind for her dress, she wanted a crochet and lace gown that she had seen photos of in a wedding magazine. I took her initial concept and decided to run with it, making it more of a modern, fitted piece to compliment Sarah's beauty and figure. So, as crazy as it sounded, I decided instead of purchasing the lace, we would actually create our own here at the Salon.




After fitting Sarah in a muslin gown, we pulled apart the patterns and hand stitched strips of ribbon together to create her entire gown out of our own battenburg lace. We also applied lace appliques to add to the beauty, creating a gown that was elegant, light and perfect for her Palm Springs wedding!
When we were complete, it fit Sarah like a glove and she looked stunning!



I will have wedding photos coming soon as well...

Huntington Library Photo Shoot

We were recently asked to participate in a Photo Shoot at the gorgeous Huntington Library in Pasadena. The Shoot was organized by Amanda Ma and Ada Chan of Fresh Events. They met at the Salon and browsed through the Collection before deciding upon the feathered chiffon ball gown and the twist front gown. The Photographer was Meghan Aileen who's Studio is located in Burbank. The late afternoon session provided beautiful natural lighting within the different gardens that are part of the Huntington grounds.




With the Huntington Library now open for weddings, any Bride can see from the photos what a dramatic backdrop the Gardens can provide for their event. Whether you're getting married, or have already tied the knot, I definitely recommend taking a trip with your significant other and walking the grounds to feel like you're on a first date again!

Pasadena Magazine

I'm very excited to announce the release of our Pasadena Magazine photo spread! The staff at Pasadena Magazine invited me to showcase some of my gowns in their "Party Pasadena" March Issue after strolling by the Salon. The gowns were personally chosen by Editor In Chief Shannen Doherty, who was also the stylist on the photo shoot. The actual shoot, by photographer Jack Guy, was done at the Ambassador Mansion and Gardens in Pasadena which was absolutely gorgeous. The gowns pictured are available at the Salon, but are all designed and made to order.

Thank you Pasadena Magazine for such a beautiful pictorial!
