Every once in a while one is lucky to meet a person who has the ability to light up a room. Their vibrant attitude and affectionate nature leaves you with a smile on your face and a song in your heart.

Totally oblivious to her own beauty, Nicola radiates such a warmth that one cannot help but to fall in love with her.

She really wanted her dress to 1) comfy and 2) strapless.

And so that’s what we set out to do. We designed her dress from oyster satin and then detailed the dropped bodice with cream lace, a belt and fabric flowers. The skirt was made up of layers of tulle in shades of cream, beige and oyster pink.

I think it all made for a very pretty picture. So feminine and romantic. Everything you want to feel on your wedding day.
