Christina wants to be a sexy bride with a lot of sparkle, yet conservative enough for her traditional Greek Orthodox wedding. But with a nickname like “bling, bling”, her look has got to shine!
The first gown I chose for Christina was Sasha by Matthew Christopher. The elaborate, yet delicate beadwork on the gown gives the sparkle she desires and the fitted silhouette flatters Christina’s figure. After trying on a few more dresses, Christina went back to the gown that made her feel the most beautiful. With the addition of a crystal edged veil and sparkling accessories, her family saw that this was Christina’s perfect gown.
Toni Federici’s “Broadway” veil added tons of bling to Christina’s look.
Paul styled Christina’s hair into a half up, half down style. I added crystal hairpieces from Christie Lauren for sparkle.
These Thomas Knoell earrings were in better proportion than the original ones Christina brought, but still provided ample bling.
A classic bouquet of orchids were the perfect complement for Christina’s look.
