final design and product

i have decided to make a wedding dress as my final piece i am hoping to use pieces of bubble wrap embroidery on to make the bottom of the dress I'm going to use a mixture of stitching, beading and paint using pale colours of write cream pale pink silver and gold.

salt dough

i decided to make 3D pieces out of salt dough just using salt flour and water mixed together. i made a wedding cake a bow and a petal. the salt dough gives a craft look a home made touch a personal slant on the wedding these could be used as part of the table settings.

my own designs

i have drawn up some of my own designs for dresses making samples of parts of the dreesses on the pages to show i have looked in to the making of them. i have looked at brides maids dresses aswell but i have decided i want to go down the wedding dress route. i have made a range of larger skale samples including weaves paper making embrodary my own lace and so on using materials such as bubble wrap that isnt normally used in clothes.

Caroline Castigliano

i love carolines dress so she gave me great inspiration. her dresses are very classic dress's using alot of embrodary they look stunning! my idea is to put an artistic twist on them using her style but using materials and objects that wouldnt usually be used in dress's or wedding dress's

here are some examples of her dress's:

invitations

i looked in to different invitations on the internet and in stores to see the type of styles people go for. i went on to make my own using decrotive pieces and fabric i even went on to decorate the envilopes. for my invitation i just used plain card so i thought it would by nice to try out making my own paper this was a long prossess and the final result is still drying i willsoon add pictures when the product is complete. to make the paper my own i added petals to the paper this gave it a home made feel like thought had gone into it.
