Collection Launch

Well, after much procrastination, I have finally decided to test the waters into two areas that I'm learning quite a bit about. Weddings and swimwear. What a combo, right? Over the past year and a half, I've tested the waters with different ideas. Some have been wonderful, others have been a dead end road. The bottom line is, you can't do everything. I'd love to say I'm Martha Stewart, but well, I was taught lying is a sin. 

I, honestly don't know where this road will take me. I hope far, but we shall see. Over a year ago, I started brainstorming and creating ideas for weddings. I've never been married, don't have plans on getting married any time soon, but I am a girl and let's be honest, girls, regardless what age you are, daydream. I started creating this collection with what I like in mind. If I were to get engaged tomorrow and set down to plan a wedding, I would give you at least 5 different themes, ideas and color schemes. So, when I started working on this collection, over a year ago, I brought different ideas to the table. You'll find in this collection, a lot of vintage, which I'm a huge fan of. Very feminine, soft, traditional and romantic pieces. Of course, there's those brides that don't like traditional and I'm slowly working those ideas into the collection. This is testing the waters, after 60% of my time, the last few months, has been working with wedding parties. Something I didn't plan, but it just happened. I have to admit, I love it! 

Saturday, a wonderful model (Emily Wilder) devoted her afternoon to lending a hand in modeling a few bridal pieces. It was fun and...interesting. It turned out to be a beautiful day, the beach was crowded and she was such a trooper changing into our vintage Vera Wang gown, on loan from my wonderful, dear friend, Deana of So What Industries, behind a linen sheet. Oh boy! My brother, Jon-Marc, did my photography and did such a fabulous job! I'm so proud of him! 

This collection, Happily Ever After, will be available for purchase this afternoon in my etsy shop, http://www.etsy.com/shop/DaintyButton?ref=si_shop. My original intent was links to each piece, but honestly, this task takes forever and I've postponed launching this collection, almost 2 weeks now, so I will wait no further and let you see the collections : )
