Project {Bridesmaid Dresses}

Wyatt's sketches on a mood board.

After scouring the web and browsing bridal stores, I've decided to create custom dresses for my bridesmaids with the help of two very talented friends—Wyatt Hough, a designer for Band of Outsiders, and Stacey Clark, owner of Modern Nature and Odilon. I feel like the luckiest bride in town to have these two lending their design hands and helping me create my overall look for the wedding. I can't wait to share more but until then, here is a sneak peek from our initial meeting (and measuring). 
Wyatt and Stacey working on the design.
Fabric swatches pinned to a mood board.
My girls waiting to be measured. 
Hair inspiration from a Balenciaga runway show. 
A start to the vision—gauzy, soft colors and a vintage grosgrain ribbon.

Wow I'm loving the style you're going for with the bridesmaids look: wonderful, contrasted draping on the dress, and really adore the hair inspiration!

That's very cool that you are creating custom bridesmaid gowns! Now they will have no excuse not to wear the dresses again! Also love that fabric - so dreamy.

That's so cool that you are offering your bridesmaids custom gowns! Now they will have no excuse not to wear the dress again! Also I'm loving that fabric - so feminine and dreamy. Reminds me of a ballet tutu.

This is awesome – so many bridesmaid dresses are so overdone these days, so a custom design is amazing! Plus this is such a beautiful look, so ethereal.

Beautiful dresses! I have a huge favor. I am getting married this summer in Ojai. I would be so grateful if you could pass along any great vendors you have found in that area? Meaning DJ's, photographers, caterers, table scales/decor ideas. I'm starting to drown in the planning, any little bit would help. Best of luck to you on your planning!
