Welcome to Rebecca and Seth's wedding. They were married May 15,2010 at a gorgeous historic Pennsylvania farm on the outskirts of bucolic Saxonburg. The day was, in a word, perfect.
But I know what you're all thinking: "You're a dressmaker, so show us the dress!" You got it, people!
Rebecca fell in love with the gorgeous Alencon lace I used for her dress over a year before the wedding.Look at how fine the detail is, and the subtle crystal beading gave it just the right touch of sparkle.
Rebecca actually had another dress picked out for her special day but a few days before her wedding decided to let me make her dress. It fit perfect!

| Rebecca's daughter Annabel (pink) wore a dress designed by Rebecca and created by Wanda, a master seamstress in her own rite. |
Just like with all weddings, everything came together in the nick of time.
 |
| I am passionately in love with the scalloped lace I used around the neckline and the triple flounce of my skirt--so soft, romantic and retro! My hairpiece is from Etsy, of course. |
 |
| Annabel, very impressed by Rebecca's transformation from everyday Mom to a Bride |
 |
| Rebecca's Mama is wearing an Annabel & Ruby creation made by Wanda as well, custom designed after a vintage 1950s shirt dress pattern. |
 |
| Lace covered buttons and a navy silk satin sash--swoon! |
Getting ready was such a breeze--Rebecca and her sister Catherine had a great time getting glam, though they kind of ran out of time to practice their wedding day looks beforehand! They really look like they knew what we were doing!
 |
| Rebecca and Seth's cake topper was one of the favorite wedding details--also from Etsy, of course! And Rebecca's amazing sister made both the wedding cake and the groom's cake!! |
 |
| Peonies are Rebecca's favorite spring flower, and Annabel absolutely had to have pink in the wedding--done and done! |

April from
Mocha Rose Floral Design created the most perfect garden-style bouquets Rebecca and her sister.; it was so lovely how the pink of the peonies and the creamy white of the anemonies played off the colors everyone was wearing. Navy blue accents plus anemonies equals awesome!
Their photographers, Aly and Derrick Bash of
Studio Bash Photography, did the most incredible job of documenting the feeling and personality of their day. They captured the joy, the family atmosphere, the laid-back love that radiated from everyone--and their humorous vibe with each other was so fun to work with! It made getting their pictures taken enjoyable--not a touch of awkwardness anywhere.
Rebecca and Seth really wanted their wedding day to be all about family coming together with love, humor and fun; Aly and Derrick did a perfect job of capturing those special moments they managed to snatch with Annabel (though she was so excited she could barely hold still for a second!)
As for Rebecca and Seth...theywere just overjoyed to have made it to the big day in one piece (more or less!) It was lovely just to have a few moments together.
Yep, they pretty much smiled and laughed the whole day, with a few happy tears thrown in for spice. It was, as Rebecca said many times, just the perfect day.
