Just 10 Weeks Until Nutcracker Dress Rehersals! Are You Ready?

by // // No Comments

As a former dancer and with a Masters Degree in Dance and Theater Arts this is absolutely a fun time for me to be lucky enough to design some wonderful Nutcracker Dresses for Clara and the Party Scene.

We are also honored to design and make these Nutcracker Costumes for some really famous ballet companies and very sweet dancers who sit down and decide on their Clara dress because they got cast in the lead part!  So much fun for us and a diversion from our busy flower girl dress season!  Below, see some of our highlights!

Melts your heart, doesn’t it?? This sweet little, barely 3 year old flower girl is determined to get her petals down.  And we we so pleased to receive it from our customer Patti who said “Hey! I just wanted to send a picture of my great niece Marina’s dress that you made. She’s 10 now, but her dress is still my favorite flower girl’s dress that I have ever seen. It was beautiful!! Nothing I have seen at the weddings I’ve been to since can rival it”.  SUCH a nice compliment.  She ordered Pegeen couture style 402 in plum silk and tulle.

Gray for a Jr. Bridesmaid – Are You Kidding Me?

by // // No Comments

Gray can be a tough color for little children but given the right shade it can make a “black and white” formal wedding – because we think that is can be magnificent and regal.  I really think it is the new black and if the right shade of gray is used, it is lovely on children as well.  Many mom do call us and question “why on earth would a bride choose this color for my daughter to wear?” Truly, this is likely the answer!  The look is stunning.  For more images on this Buffalo NY wedding as well as the photography, many in black and white click the top dress below.  Scroll down for more information and how we created this dress using our Pegeen® Dress Dreamer™ in this stunning shade of Medium Gray.

Once a bride or mom has purchased their flower girl dresses or ring bearer suits from Pegeen.com they are free to send in their photographs of their children dressed in Pegeen’s fashions. Pegeen only chooses their models from customers who send in photographs of their children who have purchased dresses from the company. Customer’s photos are highlighted throughout our website in our Real Weddings Gallery as well as other places around the site. If all the elements are right, these photographs may be chosen to be used in some of our advertising.

More about our April Wedding of the Month…..

What I loved most about our wedding this month was the beautiful textures and the wedding site. Set at the St. John’s Grace Episcopal Church, Buffalo, NY and beautifully photographed by nickelcitystudios.com. I admit, I am a sucker for beautiful wood work and the lovely church setting was equally complimented by the reception site held at the Williams-Butler House, Buffalo. It reminded me so much of that wonderful show I used to watch on A&E, America’s Castles and I was so impressed at the history of these two buildings. Makes me want to visit Buffalo, which now that it’s Summer and not subject to the snow, I am more likely to brave.

Nutcracker Photos From New England Dance Ensemble Revealed

by // // No Comments

As A Former Dancer I Remember Moments Like This!

When Lisa Moretti‎ (Lisa’s Dance Studio, Marblehead MA) sent me these images from the New England Dance Ensemble’s production of The Nutcracker 2016, my eyes spotted a photo that tug at my heart as a former dancer.  How many recitals and performances had I peeked from behind the curtain to see my folks, loved ones, friends or audience size?  These young ballet dancers are no different.  Perhaps this is the last performance they have with The Nutcracker, or their 10th, it still is such an important night for any of these girls.  So, it was a warm and fuzzy moment for me to reminisce over.

In any event, Lisa chose with me some beautiful color combinations.  First, we sent her some color swatches and wanting a bright new color pallet, we decided on mango orange, raspberry pink, apple green, caribbean blue, tiffany blue, teal and adriatic aqua, with some rust, purples and iris colors in between.  My favorite color for this performance was our new color RAZZLEBERRY and honestly, these Nutcracker costumes elicited the exact reaction that Lisa was hoping to achieve….. the audience responded not only favorably but ranted about the Party Scene Dancer dresses long after The Nutcracker was over.   Thank you Lisa once again for sharing these with our staff.  We love getting every photo!

Pegeen designs the flower girl dresses for Olympic Skater Tara Lipiniski

by // // No Comments

It’s official.  Tara Lipinski marries the love of her life, Todd Kapostasy in South Carolina today and Pegeen.com can finally announce that we created the flower girl and junior bridesmaid’s dresses for the ceremony. “We keep the confidentiality of our work with celebrities until after their events due to privacy issues.  I will say working with Tara and her mom, Pat, brought back a lot of memories for me as my mom played such a huge part during the early years of my business.  Every time I would get off the phone with the Lipinskis I couldn’t help but think of the collaboration my mom and I had with Pegeen, so for me it was refreshing how Tara and her mom worked together.  Quite a few times I would get off the phone with them during a conference and shed a few tears, missing my mom so.” – Pegeen’s founder & head designer, Marg Hyland said.

Although we don’t want to spoil the surprise for the designs quite yet, here is a preview of the sketch for the 2-year-old (one of 4 flower girl dresses, each one a little different). We will be sharing, when appropriate, more photos of these exquisite, custom made, exclusive fabrics and dresses created by the American designer Pegeen, just for Tara’s wedding.  Pegeen has made many outfits for celebrity client’s children as well as royal visits and can make dresses fit for your little celebrity

Wonderful Nutcracker Costume Pix from Eastern Shore Dance Academy

by // // No Comments

We just received these beautiful images from Eastern Shore Dance Academy where we had designed a Clara costume for their Nutcracker Ballet performance last December. We really appreciated being able to make this dress for them and I must admit, it is so much fun when we get to play around with the laces and trims to create something unique and exclusively theirs.  When we make costumes for The Nutcracker Ballet they are individualized, particularly Clara’s costume so every ballet school’s dresses vary from one school to another and based on their color scheme and backdrops.   This dress is Clara’s dress style 723 from The Nutcracker Collection.
