It's early morning on the island, I thought I'd take pictures on the rooftop. It's quiet, no rain yet, and the wind is calm. All I hear are the roosters waking up and the birds chirping. How I wish I could wake up every day relaxed and just eat the native food. First day on the island, I ate young coconut (we call it buko), ripe bananas steamed, papaya, and lots more.
How awesome to be able to have peaceful and relaxed days. 🍹🏇🥰

A dose of awesomeness! Surprise! I got a nice card and a pearl necklace as a gift from my bride Kelsey. A written thank you note is my favorite. It feels good to be recognized for the many hours I spend perfecting one gown. That's what it takes to be excellent at what I do sick or not sick. I have to do a great job and give 100% good quality on each gown that goes out of my shop. I learned it from my Six Sigma class many years ago to always do it right the first time and always do quality control. I work for the bride and they are my bosses! 🍹❤️💕

Check this out!
I finally finished my project I've been working on for 6 weeks. This is a redesign for my bride. Her Mom's 1980's wedding gown, satin with a long puffy sleeves and scalloped trim on the hem. She wanted a baby doll dress for her rehearsal night, a ring pillow, 2 garters, one for toss, and one for keep. Lastly, bracelets for her Mom and Mother in law all made from the same dress. The remnants, I am making a christening gown. I love to create sweet little things from an old wedding gown.

Want a wow factor look on your wedding day? I think this one will do it....right? This is one of my custom-made drape shoulder back-drop designs and one of the most complex, intricate, and detailed pieces of wedding jewelry I've ever made. It was fun putting it together.

In recent months, I noticed high-necklines or turtle-neck lace gowns are in fashion. I don't know if brides would want this design worn in an Arizona wedding. However, I've created so many long sleeve designs lately. I can't keep up. This one, I call it a patch-type lace application on a n**e tulle.
This is the before and after photos of my December bride, Alejandra. I just love how this turned out.

Thanks, and much appreciated to for referring Alejandra to us. 🍹❣️

Happy Easter, everyone. This is not the type of weather we want to celebrate Easter in Arizona, rainy, but that's what God had planned, a wet egg hunting for kids. Peace to all! ❣️🥰

I came home early for her. My baby turned 15 years old today. She's a pit bull chihuahua mix. I told several of my clients this week. "Oh wow, 15 years old Gemma"? I said yes, Zoe is an old baby. She's a sweetheart, kind and obedient girl. I hope and pray that God will bless her another 15 years! As long as we take care of her. I think she'll make it. She's a healthy baby. ❤️❣️🦴🏇

Usually, I would require 3 to 4 months to do major redesign with the exception of just adding sleeves, but this one was very detailed and difficult. The cutting and placing of 3 different lace designs and making sure they look like it's part of the dress when it's finished. I had 21 days to finish this project.

My bride Angela said, "Oh, it's beautiful Gemma".
Thank you to True Society for the referral. 💕🍹❤️

A dose of yummiest, and oh, I'm obsessed! Have you had cookies from this place, Crumbl Cookies? I can eat at least 2 and boy, I feel like a kid at the candyland. Yes, two. My husband said it's a lot of carbs....I said it's yummiest yummy and delicious... yup, yup, yup..

Thank you to Taryn's team for referring their brides to us.

One of my many projects. Here comes my beautiful bride, Desirae. I added long sleeves on her dress and extension to her shoulders to have more coverage.
Long sleeves are such a beautiful addition... always... when you're going for an elegant look.

We love making simple additions to a bride's style from making simple loose straps to adding long sleeves. Farron is such a lovely young bride. We added a loose straps on her neckline so she can remove it when she's done with it.❤️

If you're thinking of doing the same way, make sure you ask your stylish at the bridal shop if you can order lace from them. 💕🍹

A big thanks to Brilliant Bridal for referring Farron to us.

This gown is one of my favorite creations. My bride Kendra wanted something fitted, classic, and elegant look. She knows I can design and create a dress. I made this from silk crepe and charmeuse fabric, especially for her. Her request was to have movable spaghetti straps so she could change the look of it.

Some of you requested that I post pictures of her dress.

I don't have a good picture of her cathedral veil that I also made and named it Kendra's flower garden. My vision of her wedding was to have a whimsical, goddess, and fun wedding. This is what I came up with for a beautiful bride.

Call me if you are thinking of having this design made for you. My timeline to create and design is between 6 to 8 months.

It's always a delight and I truly appreciate it when our brides share their photos with us. One of our November brides, Jessica, shares her classic and elegant look photo. 💕🍹

This design didn't come with a belt, so I made one a 1/2 inch plain crepe wrap-around belt. It helped to cover the seam on the waist.

A big thanks to Carly from the Brilliant Bridal for referring Jess to us.❤️

I love the design on this one.
My bride Jordan wanted a sweetheart neckline as opposed to straight and also added a lace keyhole. This is what I came up with. It's actually my favorite neckline.

She was so excited and she loved it. She said it's what she imagined.
What an awesome finished design to a simple Maggie Sottero wedding gown. ❤️💕

I get many little notes, texts, phone calls and emails from my brides almost every day thanking me and being grateful for an amazing experience. They are very appreciative of my support throughout their wedding journey. This is the reason I do what I do. Helping brides turn their wedding gown into a style that excites them makes my job very rewarding!

Lindsey, thank you for sharing your beautiful picture.

Happy Thanksgiving to all my brides and my friends.

I thought this was the most fun and beautiful way of celebrating your wedding reception at....wait for it...!
McDonald's...yay.
Aurora and Bram did it. They ditched their food at the reception and went into McDonald's. How awesome!

Adding detachable loose straps can make your gown look beautiful. It's whimsical and fun for a perfect night. It's that simple.

Aurora, thank you for sharing your beautiful photos, and thank you for using our service.
