Imagine a beautiful backdrop of windmills, soft white sand and crystal blue waters. Imagine the sound of live instrumental music echoing along the narrow cobblestone street as you walk to meet and marry the love of your life. It sounds unreal, doesn’t it!? But it’s not. It’s actually the story of my beautiful bride, Zané. Their wedding destination, Mykonos in Greece – served as inspiration for her gown.

The Grecian’s are such passionate people – their lives a celebration of beauty and pleasure – a joy found in seemingly unremarkable experiences. Zané wanted a dress that mirrored their philosophy, their way of life. Beauty in its most uncomplicated form.

And so we made her a silk chiffon dress that we detailed with a silver border, hand-beaded flowers and lace. She finished the look with a lace-lined veil.

She looked just like a Grecian goddess. Really beyond beautiful!
