I can say - even though our wedding wasn't the way most weddings are - there is one thing I have in common with most brides. I have been dreaming about this day, imagine how I would look, what my dress would be like …. since I decided dresses weren't the worst options and since I started to actually like girls stuff (which was pretty late, in fact when i was about 15 years old). thihi.
So after my first visit at a bridal store with my (über-excited) girls it was pretty clear to all of us that my imagination of THAT dress was basically not existing.
Solution for this issue… ? Have it made. Design it yourself. Create your dream of a dress.
That's what I did with the most amazing designer, Sissy Lamm, who totally made MY dream of a dress come true.
More about her, about the process of making a dress and about THE result later… for now I just want the pictures to talk for themselves.
Thank you so much Marisol Barrera for these breathtaking images!! The way you caught those moments for us to make them visible in our mind and heart forever is beyond amazing. And I want to have these pictures coming up on BleekerWho today on my birthday where I look at myself and am just beyond thankful for these amazing friends I have that turned the wedding into an event that outreached our expectations, our family that never left our side and the most precious gift for me today is having this man in my life who gave me the gift I can hardly find words for to describe. Smilla.
Thank you all so much for making this happen, for making my dream come true. Even though it's my birthday I would love to raise my glasses (even though there's still no champagne in there, more lime water) on you! It wouldn't have been the same without your support, your friendship and your love! It is truly an honor to have people like you in our lives!
