Happy Valentine's Day!! 💖

Our bride had three separate services done for her big day!
The first was alterations on her wedding gown. Then a custom cathedral overskirt was created for her ceremony. Finally, her reception dress was beautifully up-cycled from her mother’s wedding gown.
All three looks turned out wonderful! We had such an amazing time working on these pieces.
