Collaborating with Brooke was a wonderful experience. Together, we transformed her gown vision into reality and incorporated elements from her mother's wedding dress to create a new, sentimental heirloom piece in the form of a custom lace mantilla veil.


Due to the original dress's poor condition, I salvaged the pearl beaded embroidery and buttons to incorporate into the veil and gown.


Adding custom embroidered initials provided the final touch to this distinctive and meaningful accessory.
