My bride Melissa & I enjoyed non stop laughs from the first day we met. Her great sense of humor and wonderful personality made the creation of Melissa's gown nothing but a pleasurable experience. She first came to me with a few ideas which she wanted to take into account for the design of her own gown. Through this process, and as I got to know more about Melissa, I came to discover she was the "Queen of Twofers". One of the design elements that incorporated this idea was to convert her gown into a reception cocktail dress. The option I came up with was to remove her longer fuller skirt after the Wedding, which, once removed, would expose the cocktail dress underneath. As we progressed with our fittings, I would have a new idea each time that would interest Melissa...making the crinolines petticoat purple (as per her wedding colors) so you would see a hint of pop while walking or dancing, removable beaded belt and strap, etc. Melissa's final gown was a Swarovski beaded, side gathered, silk shantung A-line gown (the A-line skirt was removable).
As her friend stated at a fitting.... "this dress is so Melissa, she has options."...and so she did. In the end, Melissa was thrilled that she could wear her dress a total of seven different ways. It was such a joy working with Melissa that she even turned into my real estate broker and was searching house listing for me in her neighborhood!
