The blue haired bride
Thanks to KH for sending me this page filled with photos of Oshidori and her amazing furisode-inspired wedding dress. Well, and her fabulous two-toned blue hair. And her enormous wedding party. And the Marge Simpson cake topper. Check out all the shots over here. (Be sure to note the back of that dress. Wow!)

And to answer one of the questions, no, the hair actually kept put even into the wee hours of the night at the wedding after party at a local pub. And I was definitely dancing and jumping around lots! My stylist was ecstatic to be doing something she thought was so much fun, she wanted to make sure it lasted through all the pics! It was a nightmare to undo though!
After making this dress, I’ve decided to go from designing streetwear to designing bridal, and have returned to school in order to specialize in bridal and special occasion. I hope to open a salon in the future specifically targeted for brides who would like something a little or a lot different.
Again, thanks to everyone and I’m so happy and humbled that my dress is well-received! Especially after I worked so hard on it! ^_^

Thanks!

I remember her making her gown ages ago and watching the day by day pics posted on her journal. Totally wonderful
