It was Marilyn Monroe who said that true beauty is timeless. That it transcends age. It is, despite times or trends. Tamsyn is like that. Incredibly beautiful, she exudes a carefree confidence and a quiet grace.

We wanted her dress to reflect the same timeless attributes. A classic design, Tamsyn’s wore a form-fitting ivory dress detailed with gold. The back was low-cut and featured a court train that we finished with a scalloped lace border. The front was fashioned from lace and had a boat neck that also shaped the sleeves.

As Tamsyn so eloquently stated – she isn’t a fluffy girl. She wanted something stylish, yet simple. Something that would stand the test of time…

And I think we nailed it.

P.S. Tamsyn’s wedding will also be featured on SouthBound Bride! So exciting!
