Wai-Ching Revisited

May 2nd, 2008 @ 10:24 am by Mrs. Canary

I got so excited after seeing this post on Elizabeth Anne Designs. From my previous post on a reception dress, most of you know that I am absolutely in love with Wai-Ching designs and the designer, Chrissy Wai-Ching (I seem to have crushes on a lot of my vendors!)

Anyway, I saw this dress in Chrissy’s studio when I had my final fitting of my Bliss dress back in March and almost had dress envy. I was just amazed at all the detail… the bodice and pleated neckline… the fantastic pink train. So I was actually giddy when I found Heather Gilson’s blog with photos from this bride’s wedding. (By the way, if you check out Heather’s blog you’ll be sucked into hours of scrolling through and admiring all her beautiful pictures. Anyone looking for a photographer in Washington?)

Without further ado, here is another Wai-Ching masterpiece… I promise I will unveil mine after the final alterations!

I can’t get over the hot pink train.

Look at those pleats and the tiny ruffles on the sweetheart neckline.

I love the composition of this photo. The pink train and the pink couch. Perfecto!

Chrissy hard at work!

If you’re not in the Seattle area, but are interested in Chrissy’s dresses, just drop her an email and she can help you come up with some custom ideas over the phone or email. Chrissy has been one of the best vendors to work with because she really loves what she does and she is just so friendly and easy-going.

Are any of you wearing alternative wedding dresses? If so, do share!

I got my Wai-Ching yowying in March, and I cannot wait to wear it later this month. It’ll serve as my family portrait and reception dancing dress. I also can’t wait to see your unique creation!

WOW! How cool! Thank you for the feature! I love that Chrissy is getting so much attention and work. She so deserves it. How funny that you saw this dress in the studio! Shall we all break into song…”It’s a small world after all”. Sarah looked stunning in the dress, I loved every minute of photographing her! BTW-my husband Jon Almeda shoots with me and I have to give him credit for the 1st and 3rd awesome dress shots. He is my wingman and partner in crime, love him!
