I love to work with unusual materials. For instance I like abstract grower lace and embroidered organza.
What are the colour trends for gowns in 2014?
Candlelight and blush orange.

The bride, who is modern and sophisticated, with a romantic, feminine touch.
Any advice for brides looking for their dream dress?
