A Fuchsia Fairytale

Inspired by a photograph in a magazine, this fuchsia wedding dress was graded and dyed in house, from dark to light pink. The corset is backed with steel boning, while the exquisite white hibiscus flowers were hand painted with silk paint which give light, feathery white accents to the vibrant pink gown. The fabric used is 18 momme satin silk. Momme is a Japanese unit of measurement traditionally used to describe the weight of silk fabric.

The bustled look of the dress allows the wearer to walk about with ease while the cascading silk mimics the delicate folds of flower petals, falling slowly to the floor.
