Elizna (April 2011)

Elizna had a simplistic but yet romantic look when she married Ockert in April. Her gown had a soft tulle layer with lace appliqué, pleated bodice and lace-up back. I just loved the light blue shoes she wore on her big day! Photo’s by Juné Joubert.

Coba (Dec 2010)

Creative, spectacular and dramatic – That is how I would describe Coba’s wedding dress and her style. Her lace-appliquéd duchess satin gown was tight-fitting up to the hip, flaring out and creating a dramatic train. The back had an elegant chiffon drape finished off with a brooch.

Lindi (Dec 2010)

 Lindi’s pleated raw silk gown had layers of soft tulle finished off with lace edging. The shoulder strap was covered with handmade silk flowers, and to give her look a bit of a twist, there was a layer of turquoise tulle peeking out at the bottom.

Vania (Oct 2010)

Every business has a “behind the scenes” fairy, a helping hand, an angel to make things run smoothly…My fairy is called Leonie.

When her daughter, Vania, got married I was delighted to be able to help her with the wedding dress.  Her dress had asymmetrical layers of vintage lace and a romantic lace bodice. The empire-line was hand-beaded and the look was finished off with a beautiful brooch.

♥ My own wedding ♥

So finally, it was my turn :) After having to answer the question at least once a day of whether I'll be making my own dress, I'm excited to show you what my dream gown(s) looked like. First we had a picnic-lunch where we both wore our short outfits. Then we got dressed for the ceremony and 'party' in our formal outfits. Check out more about our wedding at www.peartree.co.za and at www.theprettyblog.com

Dress #1: My short dress was draped with veiling & spotted mesh.

Dress #2: This gown was layered with different kinds of gorgeous lace.

...and they lived happily ever after ♥

Lizemari (March 2011)

Lizemari is fun, feminine, and very stylish! I simply loved her shoulderless dress with it's layers of soft veiling and beaded waistband.
