There’s something about Zen-Mari. Yes, she’s gorgeous. She has a lovely figure. Beeeeautiful blue eyes. But those are not her most attractive attributes. Instead, it is something intangible.

Her presence.

Her poise.

Her peace.

Throughout our journey, Zen-Mari was always so serene and satisfied. Her mother accompanied her to all her fittings and it’s obvious where (who) she got her good graces from. It was also so inspiring to witness their interaction – it really was love made visible – and I can only hope to share such a beautiful bond with my daughter one day.

Her dress consisted of 2 pieces: The base of her V-neck bodice was fashioned from Chantilly lace, and then layered with beaded lace, and finished with a delicate lace trimming. A gorgeous full skirt was made up of layered Italian tulle, in shades of off-white, ivory and light blush.

Zen-Mari looked absolutely beautiful. And it really was my pleasure and priveledge to get to know her.
