More June Weddings.....
Peony Rice Bride MELDA & ESTEBAN, Madrid, Spain
This time a wedding in the City of Madrid.
Our beautiful Melda chose a custom design gown, starting from being a very unconventional bride who wasn't ready to put herself in a traditional wedding gown... she went with her instincts and we spent many hours over whats app, wechat, video chat, discussing the details of the gown and sense checking inspiration images, how she wanted to feel in the gown and look, colors, and we designed and created a special floral hand cut and stitched embroidery lace applique gown with a semi sheer lace overlayed with white tulle and nude layered ball skirt that was not too voluminous and dramatic. It took one fitting in Barcelona and a final fitting with a few small adjustments a few days before the wedding after we arrived in Madrid to join the celebration.
The end result was a very light and comfortable piece that was airy and caught the light just at the right moment. This gown gave our bride Melda the soft and feminine look for their unique ceremony in the El Retiro Park, where Esteban her husband had proposed and then enabling her to dance the night away free spirited....
The bride got to wear her gown again for the second ceremony in Turkey among their family members.... and the best part - the two of them are about to become three.

"Look at the beautiful photos of the amazing day that you were an important part of. I cannot thank you, Gar and the whole team of peony rice more!!! I felt so special in the dress and I will always remember how it felt whenever I look at these great memories.
You know it was never the most important thing for me to be wearing “the perfect” dress for the day (whatever it means). But I understand now that wearing the right thing that you put so much sentiments in and that is special to you and you feel comfortable with is the key. Thanks for bearing with me and the little bump! Hahaha" Melda
Peony Rice Bride Caitlin, California, USA
A perfect fall wedding set in the lush green mountains.
This was definitely one of our favorites for a bespoke gown. Romantic, feminine and with sleeves! From the first moment, our bride had a thoughtful, sure vision which makes it so much easier for us to design into her wedding dress. She described each part of her wedding-to-be that we were almost there. Her husband to be was also so supportive of her interpretations. Love filled our studio!
The Japanese petite fleurs lace met the occasion draped over silk crepe, with it's little sprinkle of flowers in the design and two gorgeous edgings to play with. Soft gathers at the lace with the silk and a small train fit the chic boho-esque wedding setting.
Of course there was also a little drama with a detachable cape subtly adorned with hand stitched pearls.
A beautiful rich decadent color theme for the special day held at the Paradise Spring Mountains deep in the Sierra Mountains, Oakhurst, California - with her husband in a deep burgundy velvet tux, bridesmaids in Blue and groomsmen in forest green.
We loved how the colors all came together for this setting in the forest right down to the table decor. Truly chic with glam and very grown up decadent feel. How much more special could it get to share all this love on this memorable day. We are always deeply touched when we see the wedding photos and how the whole event come together.
Even better than our imaginations took us with all the many details that went into the day. Congrats to this wonderful couple.
