Gals, One of our recent brides Rachel rocked the Marie Antoinette bolero with her gorgeous wedding outfit. I love the vibrant colors in Rachels special day, the feminine ruffles against her stunning artwork, that stunning floral bouquet and that dreamy blue sky. Rachel looks like a perfect bride on a perfect day!
We hope Rachel had a magical time and we are excited to see our work playing such a nice part in the bridal ensemble. ;)

Gals, we have been so looking forward to sharing this particular magazine feature, and as publishing goes, its important to only share the news after its been released to the public. We had an opportunity to work with one of Irelands top stylists Tanya Grimson and we were blown away by the results, very hauntingly beautiful and with a really mystical aesthetic, its been so incredible to be involved in such a high profile collaboration.We hope you gals like it too..

Hi Gals,
Its been a long time since we checked in with you all, a lot has been happening over the last wee while. The laptop took a sabatical for quite some time whilst my charger decided to give up the ghost so I have been without all my photographs for ages and finally have managed to get the technology back in action again. I was also away on my holidays for a week in London with my sister and we had an amazing trip so theres lots of catching up to do here in the studio.
One of the loveliest things to come home to is photographs from our brides of their wedding day and how our piece worked out with their ensemble. One such bride was Liz who actually bought her wedding dress around her teal bolero and chose something that would compliment it overall. I love the pop of rich teal color within Liz's look, its a really fresh approach to bridal and really adds a new dimension to the traditional color palette. Liz was such an awesome client to work with and we are so chuffed to have featured in her special day.
We wish Liz and her new Hubbie the best of all that Married life has to offer. xxxx

Gals,
During the year we were invited to showcase at a very high profile Wedding Event in London, we were absolutely chuffed with the invitation and we are taking a wee trip over tonight to visit the October show to scope out the set up and hopefully have a few tips and tricks for showcasing our own label in February at the next show!
Heres what the website says about the show, if your in the area it would be worth a trip!

And it makes the complex task of planning your wedding much simpler.
Instead of spending weeks requesting company brochures, visiting designers' showrooms, trawling the internet and hitting the phone, you can spend one day in a relaxed and focused environment at The Designer Wedding Show finding everything you need.

So its roadtrip time again folks, Ger and I are hitting the Airport tonight for a quick flight and hoping to catch the show in the morning ( of course one has to slip in a trip to see Les Miserables in the West End too while we are there! It would be indecent not too! ;)
See you all again very soon, its a flying visit. xx

Guys, thought you might enjoy a wee glimpse into my favourite mannequin in the studio at the moment. Loving the bustle-esque style of this piece at the moment and its distracting my eye all week from my position at the table! lol
On another positive note, our coquette ruffled wrap made an appearance on daytime TV this week on RTE's The Afternoon Show. It was featured on a fantastic fashion segment by Irish Stylist Tanya Grimson and we are busy trying to figure out the "techy" aspect of trimming and Mpeg4 file so that we can share the wee segment with you all.
It was a lovely surprise to see one of our pieces on TV and Ger rang me from her sitting room where she was jumping around like a baboon ( her words!) as a result of seeing our piece on the small screen! ;) I can't imagine what we will be like when the big feature hits RTE this year! yikes!
xx
Hope everyone is having a nice week

Gals,
We received the loveliest email yesterday from a one of our clients Lindsey & Jared. We spent ages swooning over their photography, the styling involved in the wedding, the location, the bride, the groom, heck even the guests were cool in this wedding! The overall theme had a very relaxed antiquated feel to it and the wedding album just captured the most magical day!
The photographer for the wedding was Christina Gilchrist out of Portland, Oregon. Her website is: http://captured-momentsphotography.com/ , we spent an afternoon oogling through Lindseys wedding album online and this photographer is one talented lady!
Lindsey and Jared wed in Cannon Beach, Oregon last month and we would both love to wish you guys a fabulous time together. It was an absolute pleasure working with you on your bolero.
