Play Dress Up - Spring 2017

I'm so happy to announce that I'm hosting my Spring 2017 Play Dress Up event on Saturday April 8, 2017. Yay!!!! 

This event is perfect for a bride that has chosen her dress and is now shopping for the perfect headpiece or veil. 

The event is relaxed and fun. Brides get to see which styles they like, and what works best for them.

If you're a bride-to-be, I encourage you to book your appointment with me. If you know someone that's getting married and is looking for a veil or headpiece, please do share the event info with them.

Cathedral Length Veil

I'm still excited about this eleven foot cathedral length veil that I made for my bride Tracy. It's a gorgeous drop veil with French Chantilly lace trim all along the edge. 

Everything I make is hand-stitched. I don't use a machine. This particular veil took a lot of man-hours. I mean, a lot of man-hours! It was hand-stitched with invisible thread. 

Invisible thread is tricky to work with because it tends to tangle whilst you're sewing; but it gives the veil a clean finish. It requires patience and love. I guess, I have lots of that...lol. 

Please share in my joy and pride by taking a look at this beaut:

My bride Shirin's wedding was featured on the Wedluxe Blog. I almost fainted at how beautiful her wedding was. I remember when Shirin came to see me. She was looking for a: veil, belt / sash, and a flower headpiece. I made all three for her. Her belt will forever be my favorite. It was so detailed and stunning.

Wedding Dresses

I haven't posted dresses I've been crushing on, in a while. So, today, I'm going to. 

I am obsessed with everything to do with weddings: cakes, flowers, stationery, hair + makeup, and wedding dresses. So, it's just natural for me to show you these gowns I'm currently crushing on. 

Aren't they lovely?

Handmade

This veil takes days to make. It requires delicate handwork. The leaves are made from silk and the vine branches are made from silk cording. I create a pattern that I repeat. It's a big task whenever I get an order for this Vine Veil.

Trims

I get into a trance when I'm sewing. I feel good, I'm calm, and I'm happy. I really do love sewing. Veils are my favorite to make because I get to use a needle and thread. The lace trims take the longest. Well, actually no, the tiny flowers I did for the Petals and Pearls veil has to be the most tiring embellishment work I have done to date.

Wire work, like the bridal vines and combs are fun too but holding a needle and thread is where my heart is.

Real Posh Veils Bride - Brittany

I love how Brittany (also an awesome photographer by the way) had the chance to do a romantic boudoir-esque shoot in her veil and floral crown. There's something so ethereal about how beautifully she was captured.

I love this image below!

Posh Veils 2014 Collection

Hello my darlings. I hope you had a great weekend? Mine was good;  filled with completing orders and bridal appointments.

So, the Posh Veils 2014 collection is coming out soon. Yes, I can't wait for it to launch. It's filled with romantic pieces that I'm sure you'll love. I pushed the envelope with this collection; adopting different beading techniques and many others. 

The photo-shoot was back in November and it was shot by the incomparable Tara McMullen. The hair and make-up was done by the guru herself, Ivy Lam. Of course I had to work with my darling model Cat August from Gemini Models. She is stunning and super sweet. My photo-shoot assistant was my bff Nyari...love her to bits, thanks boo!

Common Elements

Hi dolls. Today's blog post is about how you can highlight / repeat a wedding element or wedding theme through-out your wedding. Great ways to incorporate them is in your: stationery, linens, cake, and even your veil. I created these boards to show you veils that tie in nicely to a similar design theme in wedding cakes. Be creative and have fun with it :)
