Ahh what can I say about Lisa..? To be honest it’s going to be hard keeping it simple.
I met with Lisa 7 months before my wedding and came to her with a very simple yet elegant design, I really wanted a simple dress with a cheeky lace pannel at the bottom of the back, I kept asking her to hold of making my dress as I desperately wanted to loose a few pounds for my big day...(I mean most brides do...Don’t they?)
Anyway once Lisa did start to make my dress and after the a few fittings I became to realise that my original design needed something else... and this is where Lisa and her creativity came in... she suggested a corset design to help me give the curves I desired, she came up with a very clever idea having a ruched area around my tummy to one side to take the eye away from the area I didn’t like. (Just wait till you see the photos)
We both felt the dress needed something to make it more special, this is where the sparkle came in, Lisa hand stitched some beautiful lace onto the top of my dress and the back of the corset then prosseded to stitch pearls and Swarovski crystals to make the dress pop!
My very very personal touch is my something blue, I asked Lisa from the beginning to add a blue butterfly in rememberence for my baby boy, Lisa searched the internet and found the most perfect butterfly, it actually looked so delicate and when Lisa stitched it onto my dress it looked like it had landed on my dress, almost 3D.
Lisa offered to come to my hotel room the morning of my wedding so she could lace up my dress to make sure I looked perfect, I felt so beautiful walking down the isle and it’s thanks to her amazing skills.
Thanks again Lisa...xx
