Kelsey and I worked together last summer to create a new wedding dress from her mother's (read what we did here). She just forwarded these photos from her wedding, and I love everything about them--the colors, the composition, her hair (like she stepped out of a Botticelli painting). Congratulations, Kelsey.

Myra over at Twigs & Honey just let me know that "our" television commercial is now making the rounds. We were honored to be chosen for one of a cluster of TV spots featuring unique downtown Portland businesses. We're featured in the "Shopping" segment. All of the ads are so, so witty and stylish. Cheers to Food Chain Films and the Downtown Marketing Initiative for showing our familiar little city in such a fresh, fond light. Go here to view our ad and here to watch them all.
I'm really excited to be launching my 2010 bridal collection, and while the formal lookbook is still a few days out, I think it's okay to leak a photo...every dress is named for a literary heroine (I know, I am a giant nerd). Chantilly lace and English tulle over silk charmeuse.
If you know me, you know I am a bit of a grey fanatic. My favorite New York fabric company has a pale, pearly, seashell-y grey silk that I believe was created for me to love. It has no name--unless you count 243--but it will always be oyster to me. So I was really excited when Erika ordered a version of my Honeychurch dress with my beloved oyster underlaying the lace and tulle. I do like her style.
I'm playing with this neckline idea of gestural details creating "jewelry" on the dress. Hard to get a decent photo in this rainstorm!
