Here Comes The Bride

Received these pictures from the bride that ordered one of my latest pieces. It was so nice to see them on an actual person! The headpiece turned out perfect on her gown considering I only had a picture of it to go by :)

As I mentioned in my earlier posts, this piece was a rush order I had to do during my finals week! I found it rather difficult coming up with a concept since my head wasn't at the right place at the time. After much needed inspiration of going through numerous websites of bridal veils, I came across this site by Reese Dixon "http://www.reesedixon.com/2009/03/organza-flowers.html". The flowers looked so pretty and perfect for a wedding. I immediately rushed to Market Market to get some organza where I met the most obnoxious sales people in the world. Anyway, I tried this technique and the flower came out perfectly after my third try. I decided to mix up the organza colors just to add more depth to it choosing white, champagne, and beige for the pallet. I added a few feathers to the flower and a veil made of the thinnest tulle with silver glitters on them. It turned out to be such a beautiful piece that I was very pleased with!

Thank You so much Crisel! You are such a beautiful bride. I wish you luck on your new marriage!

BTW, does anyone know where to get Russian Veiling in Makati? I've searched everywhere and no one seems to know what I'm talking about. HAHA

Crisel


Here's another veil I had to do for a wedding. It was a custom made order that took me around two days to complete... The bride had her designer create a headpiece for her but she didn't like the way it turned out so she had me create one for her instead.... I ended up making a comb instead of a headband this time. It turned out looking really cute with me using this new technique I learned online on how to burn organza to make flowers. I was really happy with the results and am planning to use these more in my future designs :)

Trina

This is a really late post but I made this for one of my friend's sister's Bachelorette party. My friend got this for her sister as a gift for this special day. This was a really challenging job since it was my first ever wedding veil! I made it detachable so that the bride could take it out and make it a shorter headpiece. It turned out great in the end looking really simple and elegant. Olivia also ordered 10 other headbands for her bridesmaids to accompany this. Sadly, I have no pictures of the other headbands....
