If you ever needed a sign to change into a reception dress HERE IT IS😍
My unbelievably talented and gorgeous friend @sarah.annb at @ofearthandthread sat with me and designed this dress from scratch. What began as a fun idea, beautifully came together one stitch at a time by Sarah’s insane artistry. The dress was as a hit at my wedding and made for a fun night of dancing in my boots. Such an amazing process and a huge blessing to have something crafted by my sweet friend💕🧵
Say YES to the reception DRESS✨

this under-appreciated little corner of the shop gets the best afternoon sunlight, and @evareedephoto captured it so beautifully, as she does all things.
spring is busy around here, but lately I’ve been trying to be better at sewing in silence, Sabbath, and waking before dawn 🌿
