This year I had the extreme pleasure of making my first ever wedding dress for a very dear friend of mine. I’ve in the past avoided doing wedding dresses, because of the huge emotional pressure of them, but with Liisa I knew it would be a blast.
Unable to decide between a lace or tulle dress, the decision was quickly made for Liisa when she inherited the old lace wedding dress from her soon-to-be mother-in-law. We were both super glad to upcycle this dress into her more modern, and softly feminine dress. For both of us it was important to create something unique and environmentally and budget friendly!
A super experience, one I’d like to repeat (hint, hint any newly engaged folks out there!), which already led to further commissions, in the form of the groom’s gold cycling hat!
Much love to Liisa and Matthias, my first wedding couple clients, and I send them both the very best of love and luck as they embark on this new life adventure together!
