Hopefully I'll have more photos and the full story from the Zimtrix California forest wedding soon, but for now I must share this photo of the wedding dress, which was designed and constructed by Jessica Hinel, a costume designer and seamstress based in the Bay Area:
If you want to know more about the dress and see the amazing Wai-Ching-inspired split train, go read the designer's blog post about her design and construction process. Jessica also did the groom's styling, which she's promised to blog about soon. I'll be waiting.

That dress looks a little like the one from Easter Parade that I love so much.

Very cool! I had an idea of doing a TTD session and pouring red paint on it, much like this one! I was inspired by "The Fall", the scene of the towering white cloth drenched with red paint at the bottom and bleeding up towards the top… great stuff

Ooh, gorgeous! Reminds me of Gwen, too. I always thought that splash of color was awesome. ;D
