DIY Wedding Dress Featured on Huffington Post Weddings

My clients are always so unique and every wedding day lets me see a piece of my couples’ life that let me know them even better. This one is certainly a first for me. After breaking her spine a few years ago, my talented client Prudence designed her own 2-piece wedding dress so that she could remove the weight of the gown as the day progressed. With a passion for sewing, a diploma in fashion design & techniques, and 20 years of experience, she executed something special for her day. Check out the gorgeous newlyweds Mr. and Mrs. Hoyte. They are #3 in this Huffington Post article about brides who designed their own dresses. Here’s what Prudence had to say, “Why walk on the most important day of my life in someone else’s design?’ I knew I could do it and I went for it, putting in all that I’ve learned.” Exceptional, I love what she created. It was an honor to capture her beautiful design on such a special day. Here are a few images from their fabulous wedding! Huffington Post Article: Click here to check out the full feature!
