This is a bit of a stretch... I wonder if this makes the designer feel better? 



Congratulations Amrita & Bill





Set on a rock in Newfoundland, surrounded by their closest friends and family, Amrita & Bill were married this Saturday August 6, 2011. 

Amrita was a fabulous custom client.  We met this February over an evening coffee downtown. 
A former gallery owner was to marry Bill, a skateboard park designer.  What a cool couple!

When it came to designing the dress, she knew she didn't want the "white dress".  She was happy to include red in the dress, to pay respect to her Indian background, but it didn't need to be the focus.  She wanted happy and joyful, plenty of colour, and a fabric to show her personality as well as her love of art.  At one point we even debated having an artist friend of hers paint on silk, but in the end found this fabric that became an instant love for both Amrita and myself. 


With a coral silk lining, a fun detail to the dress included a slit up the left leg that peeked through the beautiful coral colour.

I snatched up the photo of the happy couple from a guest's twitter account (hope they don't mind).

Congratulations Amrita & Bill! 
To a lifetime of love, fun, and happiness!
