Katrina’s Wedding Dress with Sleeves

Katrina is a very talented lady and had sketched up what she had in mind for her wedding dress. She actually brought these sketches with her to our first meeting and I was so impressed. We went through all the elements she was after and she was open to my design input, together we designed a wedding dress with sleeves that was modern with a hint of vintage.

Katrina opted for a full skirt with box pleats in silk dupion with a minimal silk bodice and just sleeves in lace. The lace created a keyhole feature at the back with buttons running all the way from her neck to her waist. We finished off her gown with a silk belt with a flat bow.

Katrina hadn’t imagined herself wearing a veil. She initially thought she might like a birdcage veil but after investigating options, she discovered they weren’t suitable. So we tried on a few veils in the studio. Katrina fell in love with a simple, single tier veil. It was accentuated by a pearl headband and was the perfect fit for her church ceremony.

Katrina & Michael wed at St Michael The Archangel in Leederville and had photos in Hyde Park before celebrating their nuptials at Mount Lawley Bowling Club.

My favourite moments have to be the bride and groom grabbing a coffee, eating donuts in the park and the duckies!! Oh and those fabulous red boots.
