Fuchsia

This vibrant bride knew that she needed color, and she settled on a magical mix of fuchsia and gold. We had so much fun searching for fabrics, laces and accent details that matched her vision. A dramatic detachable train completed the look for walk down the aisle. Her fiancé already had a suit, but needed a matching vest, so we set to work creating a linen fuchsia vest with a fun patterned back and matching pocket square. All of their wedding guests were asked to wear white and the contrast was stunning!

Emerald

These wonderful humans came to us to make a dress to match the suit which they loved and had already purchased. We worked with this incredible couple to find the right color of green to complement this fantastic suit and reclaimed silk bow tie. Our bride chose the most amazing Fluevogs to go with her dress and we made her custom dusty pink petticoat to complement them. Working with a local craftsperson to create her veil, the whole team of clients, their family and our Zeita crew put the finishing touches on their look. We loved working with both of these people so closely, learning about their love for the outdoors and how they are building their new life together. We are grateful to have played a small role!

The Process

Terra

Passion and joy drive our bride and she longed for a feeling of stability and to be grounded for her wedding day. Originally she came with ideas that were beautiful but really didn’t capture her spirit or honor the way items have significant for her. Once we broached the idea of using an heirloom piece, these beautiful crocheted tablecloths came to her mind. Sarah was off and running, designing a dress that could be worn comfortably on it’s own, or made dramatic with the addition of a custom dyed skirt made of one of the largest tablecloths.

Our bride was so moved when she saw the design and she realized how perfectly it told the story of who she is and where she is on life’s journey. Her fiancé is a glass artist and made the beautiful green and gold buttons that served as closures and to create a bustle.

Elegance

This bride is interested in the way clothing is made, and has taken pattern making courses in the past. She knew she wanted something simple and elegant for her Napa valley wedding, however it still had to be unique. We solved this by designing style lines that are unusual and a bit of a puzzle. It was a fun challenge that we loved collaborating on with the bride. The bodice is made of silk faille and Swiss dot while the skirt was a much softer satin with a layer of Swiss dot floating over it. Pockets were a must to make this dress livable as well as beautiful.

Geo

Inspired by her favorite pair of Fluevogs, this bride wanted something for a small afternoon wedding that complemented her shoes. Her research images included beautifully constructed dresses from the 1950s. With correct foundation garments by Period Corsets, we played with style lines and color to make this playful dress and jacket. Our friends at Millinery by Miriam made a complementary headpiece which completed the look perfectly.

Shimmer

This bride worked selling wedding dresses and wanted something all her own. Elegant, romantic lace paired with a hint of enthusiastic sparkles defined her look, but the personal heirloom pieces we incorporated really made it special. Buttons from her mother’s dress run down her back and pieces from both of her grandmother’s dresses were made into hearts, embroidered with their initials and sewn into her skirt. We also made a skirt for her from one of her grandmother’s dresses. Click here to see the result. This shimmering bride married her love in a grove of tall lush green trees.

Luna

This bride was looking for a grey dress but once we learned of her incredible work as an artist and photographer we knew we wanted to incorporate this into her gown. She had a fascination with the moon in all it’s phases and the night sky.

Sarah found a fabric that was reminiscent of the lunar surface and created curving orbits in the style lines. Her mother’s buttons ran down her back and layers of celestial colors hid under her skirt.

The finishing touch was the top layer of her skirt. Working in partnership with the bride, pearls were taken from her mother’s dress and sewn into the constellation of the night she met her fiancé. Look carefully and you might recognize the stars in her skirt.

Wild

Capturing the place where the wind meets the frothy crest of wave, this bride was wild at heart and was a self-proclaimed queen of chaos. Her wedding on the remote Scottish coastline was epic in every way. We created an untamed skirt to capture the feeling and worked with the amazing artisans at Period Corsets to coordinate the whole look.

Check out some of the epic photos of the wedding in Scotland here!

Sweet Dreamer

Full of life and joy, this bride couldn't imagine a dress without color.  Inspired by her home in Hawaii she came to us with visions of the sea and Sarah's thoughts turned to fan coral.  Layers of aqua in coral tulle shaped the skirt and coral-like appliqués framed her linen bodice. She asked us for a more casual skirt option to wear to other events at the wedding weekend, and we found the most wonderful coral printed chiffon!

Her fiancé wanted something magical too and we made him a vest of the same linen backed with a coral print silk charmeuse.

To top it all off we made her a napkin to match her dress so she could really dig in and enjoy her wedding feast!

Every fitting was full of squeals of excitement and laughter and the mood always matched the vibrant colors of this bride's gown.

Navy

This bride was married on her family farm and wanted to feel comfortable and unique. The navy color of her dress set off the Heirloom turquoise necklace beautifully.

Ice Queen

When Sarah got married, it was a snowy winter wedding, and her love of colored dresses had already been established. A blue, multi-layered dress faded to a white skirt with hints of sparkle and was heavily influenced by her fiancé’s input and the way it would fade into the snowy background. An incredible grey coat, which Christina had made for her thesis project was a perfect way to stay toasty. For the reception, the organza top including the bishop sleeves with buttons from her grandmother’s dress, was worn under a simple cowl neck slip dress. Christina made Jake’s vest, and he picked out his own skull and crossbones buttons. Bridesmaid’s carried antique muffs and the florals, including Sarah’s dramatic bridal branch were made by her best friend.
