R & R

This past weekend, I went to Seagrove Beach with the family for some much needed R & R. But when one has two part time marketing jobs and is starting up their own wedding veil company, there is no rest for the weary. So, the first bag I packed carried tulle, needle, scissors, thimble and thread!

The first morning, we got up early, all went out to the balcony and I began sewing ribbon onto the edge of a veil. I was quite relaxed, apparently TOO relaxed. As the next time I picked up the veil, I was shocked to see that I had been sewing the wrong side and would have to start over!!

Needless to say, from then on out I kept the veil in a safe place and focused on the beach ...

Falling in Love

My love affair with tulle began during my sister's engagement. She tried on dress after dress, but she didn't try on a wedding veil until she found a dress that moved her. Until this point, she was just a pretty girl trying on pretty dresses. But when she put on that wedding veil, she instantaneously became a bride!

That was over a year and a half ago, but my adoration of tulle has not subsided. In fact, it has exploded all over my mother's dining room and it is a gorgeous sight! I have been making wedding veils for over a month now and cannot wait for my first line to debut this summer!
