Aileen’s Wedding!

I just had  the most incredible experience with one of my brides!  Aileen Keng is what you might call a designer’s dream!  She is very tall, slim and was more than willing to put her entire trust in me.  Trust is a very important thing to have when you’re dealing with a fashion designer, because we really feel and value this.  Most especially when it comes to one of the most important garments that a woman will wear…her wedding gown.

Aileen came to me right after I did her cousin’s wedding.  Immediately, I wanted to do a Mermaid silhouette for her.  Her long and lean figure would be perfect for this.

Her wedding gown has several elements.  Pleating, lace, embroidery, beading, floral and feather work.  However I think I was able to strike a very good balance of putting all of those together.

I love the play of textures on the dress!

Her entourage was inspired by my love of Origami. I also wanted to do something unusual in terms of coloring like mixing three shades of pink with the most vivid Chartreuse.   I thought that this was really fun and festive.  Let me share with you some photos from that lovely day!  To Aileen!  Thank you for trusting me with your wedding!  I will always cherish the memories!

The view from her bridal suite at the Sofitel Hotel!  I love the color of pool blue.  It is always so refreshing to the eye.
