I wanted to share with you these beautiful photos of a custom bridesmaid order we worked on this summer for Haute Heritage. The wedding was a fusion affair, blending the bride's Indian heritage and Western culture. You can check out the pics of the gorgeous wedding here!

So many times, we have an event like a wedding come up, and have no idea what to wear. Add to that a "fusion" element, where different cultures are represented, and that can just lead to utter confusion. 

I designed the maid-of-honor dress in a fusion style to complement the bride's burgundy-red gown with sage-green and gold and pearl embellishments.




The bride wanted the dresses for each of the girls in her procession to represent their individual personalities. The maid-of-honor wanted a boho-chic vibe, complete with braided crown and dangly earrings. I selected sage green for her to complement her green eyes, and a long, flowy cut for the boho vibe. We finished the piece with a gorgeous gold and pearl embellished neckline and waist.

It's Wednesday! So that means it's time for some style inspiration. If you're new to the blog, you'll find that every Wednesday, I like to share work from some of my favorite designers or artists, who have inspired my own style and aesthetic. 

Stella Jean is an Italian-Haitian designer who blends her cultural heritages phenomenally. Her design aesthetic has been described by Vogue as a "multicultural, eccentric mix-and-match." She tries to travel to a different place each season, and then reflects that local culture on the runway. In her Spring 2015 collection, she went to Haiti.

My favorite looks from this collection were the ones that paired sports jersey t's with bold African print skirts. I think it's a style that will come to be identified with the mid 2010s, so it will probably end up dating itself. Still, the juxtaposition of masculine and feminine in bold, bright colors leaves a memorable look that's fun and funky at the same time.

It's Wednesday! That means it's time for some boho chic inspo.
