Our Choice for the DIY 2010 Wedding of the Year

Pegeen.com’s  second wedding of the year is particularly important to highlight, especially in this economic climate.

DIY Flower Girl Dresses/Wedding of the Year by Pegeen.com

A real DIY Wedding, Megan (our bride) called me to say she was looking for a real Sea-Glass kind of color scheme.  I knew exactly what she wanted since I was in the process of dreaming the same colors for our new offices about to be completed!   Her reception and ceremony was held in Lexington KY.

Because we had so many BEAUTIFUL weddings to choose from, this year we decided to choose a wedding that was totally done by the bride, enlisting the help with her friends, who were “a huge help pulling the wedding together”.  Megan’s budget was $30,000 for 300 guests ~ that’s an amazing $100 per guest for EVERYTHING.  We won’t say we choose Megan’s wedding as our DIY Wedding/Flower Girl Dress of the Year because of the economy (urgh) – instead we chose it because Chloe, Lauren and Lisi who were three of the most beautiful flower girls in our dresses !! Our bride chose Flower Girl Dress style 356 in ivory with three shades of aqua silk.  As soon as Megan said to us “I want the wedding to be in shade of “sea glass” we got IMMEDIATELY what she said and we were VERY excited to see the girls walking down the aisle in Pegeen!  The dresses were in ivory duchess satin with tulle and each had a different color of aqua or tiffany… Bermuda (the darkest shade), Sea Shore, and Aqualine silk was used for the sashes on the flower girl dresses.

It kills me that someone would actually be influenced on this very important question, but I WAS asked…. so here is my answer.

What ever you want!  I have had brides who only have children in their wedding party, and some mix it up with both but who could exclude someone close to them?  I DON’T think that all all the flower girl dresses  have to match, pick a style which is more appropriate to their age – or mix it up for something different.

Here are quite a number of flower girl dresses we made for a wedding party and flanked, on either side, are the junior bridesmaids in Navy and White with Hot Pink Sashes.

Another wedding we recently did was for a Jewish Wedding held in New York. Except for us adding long sleeves (3/4 sleeves actually) to the flower girl dresses, this bride chose different styles for the Jr. Bridesmaids and the flower girl dresses, but used ivory and light gray (platinum) sashes.

Just the other day,   I posted an image of a new Tiffany blue flower girl dress we had made just about ready to go down the aisle.  I thought it was the most beautiful dress I ever saw until we finished this one!

Made with Violet Silk, we made a lilac sash and then layered 4 different colors of tulle – from top to bottom, Lavender tulle, Lilac tulle, Amethyst Tulle and French Blue.  It was outrageous!  Can’t wait to see it on next month.

I STILL can not get over how beautiful these tulle flower girl dresses looked in Tiffany Blue.  We loved this so much we named it our Flower Girl Dress of the Week.  A little post script,  as my husband and I are planning our 25th wedding anniversary this year, its getting harder and harder for me to choose!

I DO KNOW I am going to use style 402 for my wedding “renewal” but, I wonder, is it going to be tiffany blue and chocolate flower girl dresses or each child in a different flower girl dress color? HUMMM. Getting exciting for my own plans too!

This customer needed a flower girl dress in a hurry for her granddaughter in a pageant just 5 days away! This adorable combination of sprite green, hot pink and ivory silk encrusted with sequins and two silk flowers in the back was whipped up in just a day and sent along the way!  This is one photo I am REALLY going to look forward to seeing right away and put it in our RAVES GALLERY!

I might add here, that we have “been crowned” the winner in National Titles quite a number of times!

I got an interesting call from a bride in a large family.  She and I conspired to make three flower girl dresses in Gold and Ivory silk with a beautiful flower, similar to the dress we designed for another summer wedding.

Today she called us saying she needed to purchase 2 more dresses for her cousins.  She sounded a bit disturbed that she had to do it, so natch, curiosity took over and I had to ask, “why are you unhappy about adding these two girls?”  After a LONG discussion and chuckle about our families apparent interference in our weddings at times, I told her that now was the time to take the stance!  She was, like me, the youngest of 5 children (I’m 5 out of 6) and I had similar problems when I was married to a smaller degree than her plight.

How can you REINFORCE the phrase “this is my wedding” without coming off as a Bridezilla and keeping the family peace?  (more…)

When my customer told me that she was going to have her daughter in her wedding who was not able to walk I wondered how she would pull it off.  Imagine my delight when she send the photos of her end run (as in Baby not walking yet.)  I loved how she had her florist decorate a wagon for the infant.

What are your ideas?
