So I am a week behind schedule (again) with my blogging. Sorry about that! I originally planned to blog last week about my friend Audrey's floral shop, and my awesome display she has so graciously let me steal some space from her for. However, we had to reschedule to meet this coming Saturday so that will be my post for next week I think. Be sure to tune in for that. ;)
As for now, I thought I would share something I'm very mediocre at with you. lol!... Sketches!
This is a step I admittedly have to say I skip in more cases than not. Being a mom and starting your own company (no matter what it is) leaves you strapped for time... So many times I just have a vision in my head and that's what I work from.
If you follow me on Instagram, you've seen that lately though, I've been lucky enough to be included on a few big projects and I thought it was time to bring back this step, so I could have clear vision and keep my ideas organized. Not only has it worked for that, but it also made me realize how much I really do enjoy getting my ideas out before jumping right into a design.
The first project I have coming up is an English Tea inspired bridal shoot. My vision for the bride is a short 2 piece lace and chiffon get up, with snow angel sleeves, a scalloped bottom, and (of course) an over the top mini hat.
I thought the bridesmaids should definitely be in a floral print and I would add some ruffles, a sash, and again...huge headpieces. I have to admit, the headpieces are probably what I am most excited about!
Shortly after that, I will be doing the wardrobe for a skateboarder themed bridal shoot. My bestie Michelle is the creative mind behind these designs, so I can't take full credit, but I think I have done a decent job at bringing her ideas to life. We are doing our bride in a blush gown with a high low hem and ruffled tulle accents. I'm adding black lace boot cuffs to soften the masculine boots, and I'm thinking an edgy headband, but it will depend on her hairstyle in the end.
And the bridesmaids will be in lace topped black tulle short dresses with blush petticoats and floral hairclips.
Another upcoming project will be for a sweet couple's wedding. :) Congrats Scott and Colleen!!! Colleen showed me a beautiful dress she liked online, so I went home and redesigned it. lol! In my defense, though...there were a few things Colleen didn't like about the dress she saw online. There were slits in weird places, and better colors in her head than plain white. So she decided to go with champagne lace and we will embellish with beautiful beaded appliques.
The back will have a rounded scalloped edge and a see through lace back with buttons running down the middle.
She will look absolutely stunning!
Now it's time to bring all of these visions to life. I'm literally praying I do justice to it all.
Thanks to everyone who has entrusted me to be a part of these important projects. I'm very humbled by all of it.
Xo,
Christina
