Here's a quick tease of Nadine and Alex's wedding, which we'll be doing a full profile of next week:

I've written in the past about jewelry for brides with stretched lobes, and I gotta say these two completely redefine just how formal large-gague piercings can look.

number of dresses i've been asked to sew in the past 3 months by friends: 8. number of dresses i've sewn in the past 3 months: 1.

hint: i don't want to sew you a dress.

In other words, just because he made his bride's dress, doesn't mean he's making you a dress!
