Working with Shannon on (let's face it) such an important element to any wedding, was nothing short of a blessing. Not only did she ask the right questions to reach the final design, but she was very perceptive in what I would typically wear, a...nd how that worked in to my style. As a bride with very little fashion sense, this small (but influential) addition helped me reach my say-yes-to-the-dress moment.
It's amazing to think my wedding dress is now one of a kind, created with the love and care of a passionate woman who is extremely talented at what she does. After leaving my fittings with my parents in attendance, they had already decided when my little sister (who was 14 at the time) got married, they'd be reaching out to Shannon for a unique and custom dress.
Looking back on my special day, and the journey to get there, I couldn't think of experiencing the creation of my dress with anyone else. It did help that I was only one to two hours away from Grand Rapids, and could visit Shannon whenever need be, but even when designing at a distance (for three months I was interning in SC) her Skype calls were efficient and productive. From start to finish, Shannon was a professional. But, even more, she became a friend.
Thank you, Shannon! I had always wanted to do a "Trash the Dress" session following my wedding, but after wearing and falling in love with my dress, I just don't have the heart to do it!
