I have always said that my wedding would be Alice and Wonderland-esque. I dreamed up a dress years ago, never expecting to find one with enough tulle to satisfy my expectations. Well, eureka! A certain lady made a certain dress and she certainly nailed it! And, to my surprise, I found it on etsy!
The creator is Monique Martinez with her line called Ouma. She is based out of Phoenix, Arizona but ships worldwide for no more than thirty bucks. Ninety-nine percent of her stuff is with a full tulle skirt, although there are a couple exceptions. She does a lot more than bridal too. Her dresses are refreshing, light, feminine, unique and funky to say the least. She said it best, "I hope you find a dress that brings out the twirling princess in you." You stole the words right out of my mouth.
Etsy has a whole wedding section offering veils, headbands, jewelry, garters and everything in between. Honorable mention goes to Ms. Myra Callan with her twigs & honey collection of wedding veils. Browse her one-of-a-kind veils and boutonnieres at her etsy site or her website. Also, check out VO Handmade for her invitations, save the dates and all that jazz. I don't know how something can be refreshingly simple and intricate, but she did it!
Moral of the story: etsy it up! And thank you, thank you, thank you Monique for making my dream dress. I'll contact you when I find my dream man.
