Bride Danielle came to me with her mother’s vintage wedding gown and her own wedding dress for alterations.
She wasn’t sure what she wanted her mom’s dress turned into, but she knew she wanted it short and to wear for her rehearsal dinner dress. So I sketched a few examples and she chose one right away.

I found Alexis on Facebook and reached out to her because she was looking for someone to create a bridal blazer with a long train. I loved working with her on this blazer, we added pockets, and a ribbon on the train for her to hold on her wrist for ease. I also modified her jumpsuit by making her bell-bottoms a straight-leg fit.
It all turned out very modern and chic.
I had the opportunity to work with her fiancé, Megan, as well as with her bridal dress alterations. I added a lining, adjusted the sleeves, and lowered the slit on her gown.
They got married at the gorgeous Garden of the Gods Park in Colorado Springs, CO.
I love all the modern neutral tones they used in the floral, accessories, and decorations.
Cheers!

Vintage Mother’s Dress Redo!
I love working with brides on altering/modernizing their mother’s gown to fit them.
Maggie made it easy because she and her mother had such a similar fit.

Gorgeous vintage veil! I had to clean just a few spots up and remove the top layer of tulle to make it perfect
