Amy and Travis' Wedding Day. . .

The very best of moments at Breeziway happen when clients share their special days with us. Amy and Travis were married on the 19th of June in Minnesota. A beautiful tribute to the love they have for each other can be found at the blog of their wedding photographer, Sara of Studio Seven Photography. Thank you Amy and Sara for allowing us to share these remembrances with our readers!

Amy wore our Nadia, paired with a small symmetrical Russian veil. I don't know if you can see this touch well in the small photos, but Amy's hair was styled with wisps of feathers throughout her style (which we were happy to donate to the cause). What a creative and lovely idea!

A day of love and sunshine. . . Best wishes to both of you.

May you & yours share many more special moments like these!

April and Marc's 'Elopement' to South Africa. . .

Marc proposed to April in early February just before his departure to South Africa on a family/ancestral project to span two months. April will be meeting him there soon to travel through Johannesburg, Pretoria, The Cape and Garden Route. They will marry toward the end of their trip on April 1st, just the two of them. . . to return with photos and videos to share with family and friends at a reception upon their return. How fantastically- romantic! I so look forward to seeing photos of their adventure and wedding.

I have made April a customized Jennifer with 12" French silk birdcage veil and matching gown sash accent. Because time does not support adjustments of her veiling, I have decided to use a modified open-sweep style of veiling to allow April to accommodate her particular situation.

Many best wishes for your nuptials and South African adventure. . .
I am smiling just thinking about what lies ahead for you both!

Polyvore!

One of my daughters introduced me to Polyvore recently. It took awhile to figure out how to use this new platform for creativity, marketing, community sharing, etc. . . . but the time was well spent. It has become a favorite pastime late at night when too tired to do much else. Does anyone else remember the Colorform Dress-up Sets of long ago? Polyvore is a contemporary, and as the Internet provides, limitless venue for creative expression that reminds me of that childhood play.

Below are fashion sets, created using Polyvore, that were inspired by Breeziway designs.

The Marnie is one of our most popular designs; one of several Breeziway designs worn to Britain's Royal Ascot this past June. It is used to accessorize two very different looks in the set below.

Carolina has been worn by numerous brides worldwide in its original form as shown below, as well as variants with alternative silk flowers from our studio and different color themes using both natural and dyed feathers. I love the gown and accessories found on Polyvore to go with our basic ivory version of this design.

The Czech Fedora! So, much fun making these. . . . ;)

Prelude. . .

Tonight, I turn my attention to Breeziway's new blog. I am so pleased with the design by Kelly of Blush!nk and Glamour This!. Kelly was one of Breeziway's first clients, and I am grateful for her support during our first year of service. Kelly is seen below looking her usual glamorous self during a post-wedding photoshoot; wearing a Breeziway headpiece of emu, natural hackle feathers, and a small ivory birdcage veil. . . such a beauty!

Thanks again, Kelly. We love the blog design, and I am so eager to begin sharing the ideas that have come to mind for our "Soaring Hearts" blog. Do stop by again. =)

Best,

Prelude. . .
