More than a month ago, I closed a chapter of my sewing journey when my daughter got married in a wedding gown that I sewed. It was a painstakingly slow process that involved months of planning and numerous long distance fittings aided by Skype. It involved a lot of hand sewing as the gown was made of several layers of fabrics that were eventually overlaid with lace. But it was all so worth it! My daughter has always been my biggest supporter, never expressing any doubt about the wedding gown. In this post, I am sharing some pictures taken during the wedding. A separate post detailing the construction process can be found

When the ceremony was about to begin, it started raining. But that didn't dampen the spirits of anyone in attendance.
The couple marched in to the tune of the Ratatouille theme song!

The bride's bouquet was made of flowers hand crocheted by the groom.

Here are some lovely shots which show the gown up close.
