Cj’s Alternative Wedding Dress

Cj knew from the very beginning that finding the perfect wedding dress wasn’t going to be an easy feat. She was looking for alternative wedding dress that would highlight her personality and suit the location of their ceremony, the beach. When we met with Cj, we made it easy, we talked about her ideas and played with some fabric. Before she knew it, she was staring at the sketch of her wedding dress.

We designed an alternative wedding dress with a short silk skirt to suit the beach (and potentially hot weather in February) with two layers of gathered silk georgette to add a relaxed, romantic element to the dress. For the bodice, we designed a fitted sweetheart silk bodice with draping and beaded lace. The dress had a very soft silver tone to it as Cj didn’t want a ‘white’ wedding dress. The design came to life over a series of fittings in the lead up to Cj’s wedding.

Cj and Grant wed in the south west at Meelup Beach before heading to Cowaramup Brewery for their reception. I just adore all their personal touches that showcase the two of them as a couple.
