A Wine & Gold Christmas Wedding

Merry belated Christmas & a happy new year in advance lovely readers. I hope you all had a good one. It is absolutely my favourite time of the year and this year certainly did not let me down. Good food, family, good company & a late viewing of Best Man Holiday with good friends. ♥♥♥♥ Somebody asked if santa was good to me and I said, "lool erm I guess... Love & happiness around me, can't complain :)" It's the little things in life that count.

To add to the jolly holiday season, three of my friends/clients got married, woohoo! I had the privilege of designing the bridesmaids dresses for two of these.

This wedding was held in a divine stately home in Essex. Very intimate wedding for Kanika & Jeffrey. Wine & Gold were the colours of the day. I designed the bridesmaids dresses, a different style for the MOH and a change of outfit for the bride. The girls looked so beautiful and in sync. Kudos to Jadoy hair for a job well done on 2 out of 4 of the bridesmaids' hair.

The bride also looked stunning in her lace fishtail dress:




I myself was a lovely looking wedding guest hehe :)



And on that note, I'd like to give a special shoutout to my darling parents, 29 years of marriage on the 29th of December! Woop! Thank God for mum and dad for sticking through together!

Queen's Graduation

Hi guys :) Today's post is all about Queen! Yes, queen of crazy, queen of fun, queen of beautiful! lol. Few months ago, this lovely lady (who is also an amazing singer) gave me the joy of designing and creating her graduation dress; she wanted two dresses to choose from. We had a consultation where I shared a few ideas with her that she loved, however, nothing was finalised until I'd gone and shopped for ideal fabric. One thing she said was that her favourite colour is beige so I knew at least one of the options ought to be beige. I'm mostly inspired to design after I've seen the fabric that I'm working with - colour and texture both come into place. After this, I sent her an email of the final sketches and she was happy with it.



Both dresses turned out so lovely that the dilemma was which one to go for. We did a photoshoot of both dresses right after she got her hair done by Jadoy! Photos & Styling by me.

First dress: Beige, One shoulder, Puffball sleeve, flared dress, with a detachable navy belt.

















Second Dress: BabyPink, statement sleeves, low back sheath dress. 









 








So there it is :) Queen really wanted to go for the pink for her graduation. My opinion was that the beige was more ideal and the pink is better saved for a wedding. Tell me guys which would you go for and why??

Queen eventually chose the beige! :D
