A Bridal Stole

The bride wore a white knit sleeveless knee length sheath from St. John, gold beaded pumps, with bold gold crystal earrings and this. 

80 inches long and 28 inches wide, dupioni silk, lined, with lace embroidery and beadwork in gold. A timeless look for a timeless couple.

I have had the absolute best time working on this little gem. It is a wedding gift for a wonderful couple. I offered up my services to the bride to see she might want something personalized... Maybe a monogrammed ribbon for her bouquet or a sachet? She came back with a neat request of a ring holder that the best man would keep the bride's ring safe and secure before the big handoff.

She provided me with a photo from a bride's magazine that showed a satin pouch closed by Velcro - (about 2.75 x 4 inches I believe) which looked like this:



I thought I would create a design that showed off the "W" which the bride will be taking as her new name, as well as the wedding date which is fun, being 9.10.11.

The couple met through a wonderful mutual friend playing matchmaker, and they share important loving values. Their church has been a central part of their relationship and that is why I chose the trinity for the inside of the booklet (always my favorite symbol of marriage ~ the two partners and Christ).




 

The finished size is 3x3 inches.
