The wedding day is the most special day in any person’s life as it marks the beginning of a new phase in their life, the day post which, their entire life will transform. The excitement for the new life and the anxieties for the same, and the ever than constant feeling, ‘Will it be a successful one?’ can take a toll on the couple. However, keeping aside the post-marriage journey, the endeavor to make the big day even more special and memorable, the groom’s and especially the bride’s endless efforts are not a secret. Finding the perfect dress for herself along with matching shoes and elegant jewelry is every woman’s dream and Felicity Westmacott, in order to fulfill the desire for a traditional yet one-of-its-kind wedding dress, turned the imagination into reality.
Felicity believes, “A wedding dress tells a story of what a bride wants her future to be. That’s why a dress is important, special and unique.”
The dip dye dress, called Helada was first designed and made as a romantic ivory silk and tulle wedding dress for another shoot but was perfect to up-cycle as a canvas for the colors of autumn. According to her, recreating a dress was not a compromise but has been a part of the basic premise from always.
Dip-dye- has been quite a wedding trend (not to mention for hair styles) but a true dip-dye is almost impossible on most wedding dresses.
The tulle of this dress is polyester, though the fabric beneath is silk so dying-proper was not an option. So, she followed the regular suit and created the effect by spraying the colors. After a thorough research, she opted for a florists spray called Oasis.
