🎶 Here comes the Bride, all dressed in white 🎶

About 5 million times in the last 10 years. Most Brides have been a pleasure to work with, and there was only one Bridezilla, which is a MIRACLE in itself.

I have definitely come a long way since the first wedding dress I ever did. I now have nerves of steel.. although when I stop, that might not be exactly true.

I have seen everything from the biggest dresses 👰‍♀️👗that should really be on a perfume commercial to some skimpy beachy numbers. To some ultra cool boho dresses with tassles and then ones that are so plain, I just have to add a sparkly belt. And then there are the unconventional girls who come in with some random cool dress they found god knows where. I really love those dresses.

Anyhooo… thanks to all the brides for letting me be a part of your big day and for those who shared photos 💕🥰 To see the final day all come together, is a perk of the job, I reckon. Wedding photos are ALWAYS romantic and beautiful 👰‍♀️🤵

It’s the last week for the Sassi Seamstress 🥹🥺 so I am busy getting everyones alterations finished, before we roll away the beast of a cutting table.

Here is a little montage of some of the formal dresses that I/we have done over the years.🤓🥰

I love formal season (that isn’t really as season anymore since some schools decided to host the formal in the first part of the year!!! so the students can focus on study. Booooo Boring Schools, that’s not how formal goes!)

Anyway, formal is fun! exciting, the dresses are always gorgeous, colourful, lots of sparkle and it’s just really lovely to be part of a young girls ‘debut’ as a young woman stepping out into the spotlight all dressed up, looking glamorous, like a movie star.

Formal has always been the event of the year, and NOW it’s almost like a miniature wedding, with all the things these day… 💃🏼 💅 Dress, hair, makeup, nails, bag, shoes, car, bow tie for the guys, jewellery, ticket, after party…. it’s a $1000 event just to turn up these days.

Where as back in my day!! lol

Well I made all my dresses, but you just found a dress that fit and that was it. Did your own hair and makeup, or your mum did and caught the bus. No red carpet, decorated venue, no after party. The formal WAS the after party, at the Chinese restaurant, with the teachers, who wanted to come who also PAID to come….and got drunk with us. lol

oh yes, back in the day, when…….?????…… well when so many things were different.

Oh well, times have changed but it’s still one of the most exciting nights for a young woman….

May the formal always be a night to remember 🥰👯‍♀️💃

It’s the smallest details that make the biggest difference.

Thank you, @manali03 for reminding us that there’s always more to learn 💛🌿

The best teachers never stop being students.

There was so much more than yoga happening in this room.
A huge thank you to @manali03 Banerjee for sharing her knowledge, experience and passion so generously.
We all walked away with something to practise.

✨ And this is just the beginning…
