I
have a confession to make. I love weddings. And I mean I LOVE them. I love everything about them, the decorations, the
flowers, the cake, the mementos, the personal touches, and most of all, the
dress. There isn't much in this world that makes my little heart sing quite like
a wedding…Other people’s weddings that is. Fate must have a cruel sense of
humor if a cynic like me should be so infatuated with the marvelous world of
bridal. I actually have zero interest in my own wedding. In fact, the only
reason I’m on Pinterest is for other people’s weddings. I would bet that at
least all of my prospect clients have bridal boards filled to the brim with
every childhood fantasy, every high fashion dream, and every personalized touch
that makes her “different for the rest”. And for me, it’s like a glitter
explosion. The crazed raccoon inside of me that goes mental at the sight of
anything even remotely shiny jumps for joy at sight of so much sparkle on said
bridal boards. And it doesn't just stop at bridal, oh no, how could it when
there is a vast wealth of sparkle elsewhere such as in the land of dancewear, evening
couture, and pageants? Sure, theatre is fun and all, and menswear has such a
clean and sleek look, and technical outerwear is a… thing, but none of them
allow you the same liberty of vomiting glitter on every inch something quite
like the magical world of sparkle. Call me crazy, (most people do) but the
thought of bedazzling anything from head to toe gets my hand-sewing/glue-gunning
hand just a twitching. And maybe it’s a little sad that I don’t dream about my own
fairytale wedding, but let’s be honest, twenty is practically a swaddling babe
and I’m not exactly beating the boys away with a stick. But I like to be a part of
the fairytale. Helping to make a special day memorable for someone actually has
the ability to outsparkle all the glitter I plastered onto said piece that I made.
That’s why I do what I do. That’s why I put up with the crazy hours and the
stressful projects because it’s what I love to do and I get to get to make
people happy every day. And, of course, the allure of glitter sparkling from every
possible angle on every possible surface helps too. And to continue with the glitter theme, here is a song from one of my favorite British artists, Daley, that I was fortunate enough to see live! Hope you enjoy and have a "sparkly" rest of the week!
