Birthday Beautiful

Safana just sent me this picture of her wearing her custom white birthday dress. It’s made in a silky jersey, with a gold necklace bar.  I think she looks so gorgeous!

Happiest birthday wishes to you, Safana!

Blossoming Love

To kick off my blog posts for this party season, I am starting with one very close to my heart. I had the honor of doing the engagement photo shoot for my very dear friends Angela and Michael- and also making the custom dresses for Angela.

Angela and I grew up together on the Sunshine Coast, and I have been lucky to have her as a bestie all this time.  I just love Angela to pieces, and also adore her fiance, Michael.

We took the photos on a hot April afternoon at Queen Elizabeth Park, as well as another one near PNE/ Playland, using the spectacular cherry blossoms as a dreamy, romantic background.

Spending time with Angela and Mike made me think about how perfect they are together. They both sparkle with pure happiness, as well as a shared joy for life that makes everyone around them feel like dancing and laughing.

I think the photos radiant with their personality and love for each other. It was a fabulous way to spend an afternoon! Thank you, Ang and Mike for letting me be a part of such a special day.

Love and peace,

Hannah

Lady in Red

I think Jasmine looks so glamorous in her custom red chiffon gown, which she wore to her friend’s wedding. Love!

A Very Colourful Spring!

I’m super busy right now finishing dresses for prom, bridal and parties. Girls are starting to take finished dresses home, and I couldn’t be happier with how they are looking.  I can’t wait to post pictures in the coming months!

The bobbins above show some of the colours of dresses we’ve just finished up with this week.

Have a super stylish day!

Love and peace,

Hannah

Happy Easter!

It’s a gorgeous warm spring day here in Van, and I’m so excited to be off to the coast to celebrate Easter with friends and family. It will be a relaxing and stylish weekend for sure!

I have finished some gorgeous  one of a kind spring dresses in the most lovely spring colours and fabrics. Come by for a visit and play dress up with me soon!

Love and peace,

Dreaming

There are days that are meant purely for
dreaming of summer,
fields of sunflowers
and twirling and dancing
in beautiful dresses.

It’s not every day that I get to dance around in an enchanted field of sunflower with my sister and sister-in-law, wearing dreamy dresses and bohemian head pieces I made- but that’s exactly what we did for this creative photo shoot, photographed so beautifully by my sister Sarah, of Sevenish Photography.  These photos take me right back into the  hazy, sun drenched, magical summer evening.

May your day be filled with fairytale dreams and magical wishes come true.

Love and peace,

Hannah

Shimmering Birthday Dress

It’s always a fabulous time to create a custom dress for a client, and especially so when we’re already friends.  This was the case with Jasmine. I made a custom sequin dress for her,  which she wore for her birthday celebrations.  Such a girly fun time!

Have a sparkly week!

Love and peace,

Hannah

Sketches

Here’s a few sketches of custom designed dresses.

It’s raining again here in Vancouver today (big surprise!), but I’m working on so many gorgeous dresses in the most vibrant, scrumptious colours so I’m feeling good! I’ll post some pix of them soon.

Have a fabulous Friday!

Love and peace,

Hannah
