Inspiration for Your Fall Wedding: Custom Men's Accessories

Can't forget the handsome men! Coordinating custom made ties and pocket squares complimented the bridesmaid’s colors beautifully!

Inspiration for Your Fall Wedding: Custom Flower Girl Dress

Kids grow fast and dressing them can be more tricky than you might think! Going custom is a great way to ensure the dress will still fit the flower girl (or young bridal party member) on the wedding day.

It is also another way to ensure that the design integrates with the bride's vision for the entire bridal party.

Rebecca wanted her junior bridesmaid to have the same colors as her bridesmaids, which were custom.  She also wanted the flowergirl to be in white but wanted to incoporate her wedding colors, so we added the copper red sash.

Inspiration for Your Fall Wedding: Custom Mother of the Bride Dress

Rebecca's mom wanted modest, with sleeves and full length.  She also wanted to her dress to complement her daughter's fall color scheme of rich reds and golds.  Rebecca's gown had a tulle pleating hem and mom wanted something similar.  So, I pleated organza around the hem.

Unlike my design session with Rebecca, which started with magazine clippings, my session with the mother of the bride started with a discussion around her body type and what would work best.

The conclusion - a slight A-line with a V-neck rouched bodice was a great complement to her figure...

 ...and to her daughter's overall bridal party design. 

Inspiration for Your Fall Wedding: Custom Bridesmaid Dresses

After we created Rebecca's uniquely custom gown, she decided that she wanted custom designs for her entire bridal party - from the men's ties, bridesmaids to mom and kid's attire.

For her bridesmaids, Rebecca wanted alternating colors.  Luckily, I found a reversible fabric that had copper red on one side and the gold on the other.  Next, Rebecca said she wanted "strapless, short and sweet"!  Easy.

Based on Rebecca's design ideas, I created custom bridesmaid dresses that her bridesmaids loved!

Inspiration for Your Fall Wedding: Custom Wedding Gown

Rebecca and Seth got married in October 2008. Their wedding colors were copper red and gold, perfect fall wedding colors!  I'll share more from her wedding over the next few days but let's start with Rebecca's custom gown.

Rebecca knew that she wanted a custom bridal gown.  We started with magazine clippings of her favorite bridal gown styles.  From there, we married various aspects to create her dream wedding gown.
