So Beautiful it made me cry!

Recently I had the privilege of creating a very special wedding garter. It was to be created using the fabric from the brides mothers wedding dress.  This was such a sentimental creation.  Shellie (the brides mother) came to me in April this past spring and we started discussing the design of her daughter's garter.   She was very excited and a little nervous because she couldn't picture how it would come out.   But we discussed every detail.  The fact that she wanted lots of lace and some beads and sequins was one thing... then the other was about having "something blue"  so the bow and letters were the blue aspects.  We came to a design plan that she totally was happy with.  She put her trust in me that I would create the garter that she would completely love.   
 
Here is her wedding dress fabric.  It's off white so the design of the garter has ivory as the main shade and then one white rose with a white bow along with some blue accents in the bow and personalized lettering.  
  
 
Once I completed her daughter's garter and a simple classy little toss garter I shipped them off to her.   This is what Shellie had to say when she received them.   :) 
 
"OMG!    Its looks beautiful!!!  It made me cry!!  I will definitely use you in the future!!  (I have another daughter who has been with her boyfriend for three years, I feel an engagement in the future!!!)  So, I will want another one done for her.  THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!  You have really been so patient with me and all my questions and everything!  You are awesome!  I will send you pictures of her with the garter FOR SURE!!!  and thanks for the toss garter!  That was very sweet of you!
 
Its a month away!    Wow, so fast!!!!  So busy!!!
 
All the best to you and again, thank you!  It looks so beautiful!!"

I'm so happy I was able to make something that was exactly to my clients specifications and further more to even make her CRY?! ... THAT was the cherry on top :)    Testimonials such as these are what make me want to keep on creating custom creations day after day, month after month, and year after year! 
 
Thank you Shellie -  It was a pleasure to serve you and I truly look forward to creating something totally special for your other daughter.
