Botanical & Natural Wedding Dress

1T3C4216Vivat Veritas Lace and Chiffon Adjustable Wedding Dress 1T3C4204 1T3C4230Remember the post about a botanical flower wedding shoot I did inspired by  Once Wed ? The photos are ready now! I’m pleased with how they turned out despite our impromptu leaf arrangement (found them on the street!).

This dress really reflects what I’m going for right now – classical design with a bit of boho style mixed in. Off-the-shoulder was seen everywhere this summer so I wanted to incorporate that in the wedding dress design as well. The dress is made with the beautiful flower motif lace. I added a few flower cut out in the neckline to add some textures. The back has a corset style with a lace up, which means the dress allows a bit of + and -.

This is a sample dress for the photo and also available for rental with a very reasonable fee if you reside in Japan. This is great for a photoshoot in the woods or beach side! If you are interested, contact me.

This can also be made custom, tailoring to fit your size and preferable color!

mariage pluvieux, mariage heureux // New Bridal Lookbook

Vivat Veritas Bridal Lookbook 2014 Boho Wedding Custom Dress

It’s funny how opportunities can roll in while sitting on a couch, relaxing and scrolling down the instagram feed. I found Lisa’s feed from someone else’s and could not stop favoriting her photos. She is an amazing photographer! Especially this one and this one. Her photos have their own uniquness to them; and you are left with a dreamy fairy tale feel like after looking at her photos. It also happened that we have worked with some people in the past. Tokyo English speaking fashion/photography world is such a small world!

Anyway, we met up one day in June to shoot with a model Maria at Hibiya park. I had never been to Hibiya park prior to this, but it is a must-visit place. It is much more calm than the famous Yoyogi park. Lots of flowers and quiet paths. Unfortunately, right when we tried to shoot, it started to pour, but we went on to shoot anyway. I wasn’t sure how it would work out, but It gave the photos pretty melancholy feel, and I quite like it. Vivat Veritas Bridal Lookbook 2014 Boho Wedding Custom Dress 2 Vivat Veritas Bridal Lookbook 2014 Boho Wedding Custom Dress3

I made the title of the lookook, “mariage pluvieux, mariage heureux”. It means “Rainy wedding, happy marriage” in French.
Check out the full lookbook here.

“mariage pluvieux, mariage heureux”とはフランス語で、「雨の日の結婚式は幸せをよぶ」という意味があるそうです。
雨の日の結婚式はネガティブなイメージがありますが、こんな素敵な言い伝えがあるなんて、素敵です★

Lookbookの写真は、日比谷公園で撮影。
フォトグラファーはLisaさん。
彼女のとるナチュラル且つ夢の中のおとぎ話の様な雰囲気、すごく好きです。
家族写真やポートレートもやっているそうなので、今度、家族3人で記念にとってもらおうと思っています。

Completed:: Beachy Wedding Dress

A few weeks ago, I wrote about the progress of the wedding dress I was working on. It’s finally completed! I could not be happier with the result. I really enjoyed sewing this dress, perhaps this is the kind of style of dress that I would actually wear if I were to get married again. This dress is quite comfortable to wear as well, with a built-in bra, small cap sleeves for extra support and light weight chiffon and silk satin skirt. beachy wedding dress front and back close up beachy wedding dress

Attaching the lace at the chiffon hem was the most time consuming part of making this dress. I hand stitched about 13 meters of lace! I could not use a sewing machine for fear of the chiffon puckering. It took about 10 hours just attaching the lace alone!

The dress has a sweep length train. Small pearl button and a loop were added in the center back, so the train can be shortened for reception.
