This particular bride is wearing a true ivory lace gown (with a champagne underlay). In searching for the perfect lace, I stumbled on a shop in Latvia with an absolutely exquiste lace that was labeled as ivory. When I received it, it was clearly an off-white, not a true ivory.....but the lace was gorgeous. So, I went about dying the lace in a tea bath. I have to tell you I had never done so before, so I was a bit nervous. I used a minimal amount of tea and hovered over the bowl the entire time it was bathing in the steeped tea. I probably squealed like a pig when I took it out of the bath and realized how well it worked. It is a beautiful match to the gown!
I think the pictures below show the original color and the finished product pretty well. And as you can see from the picture above, it looks awesome with the gown.

Erin also had me make her a keepsake garter. I chose to continue the lace theme from her dress and veil and make her a one-of-a-kind garter with some remnants from other projects I had worked on.
