Have you ever wondered what kind of transformative possibilities there are for your mother's wedding gown? Or are you a bride whose mother wants you to wear her gown on your big day in some form or another...and you are looking to find an alternative way to work it into your wedding day? 

Well, you have come to the right place! This is exactly what happened last month when La Gartier bride Brittany Sullivan contacted us. She wanted to use her mother's dress fabric in a way that way meaningful, but wasn't quite sure what was possible. After an hour long phone consultation (filled with lots of laughter and brainstorming) we decided to create an heirloom wedding garter set for Brittany as well as two completely custom bridal hankies! Keep reading to see the final product! 

Pictured above: Brittany's incredible custom garter set! Brittany was a BIG lover of sunflowers, so we wove a distinct sunflower motif throughout both her hankies and her garters. If you look closely, you will see the phrase "ForAlways and Ellever" embroidered in sunflower gold to the inside back band of her sparkling Ever After garter. I die. 

Pictured above: Brittany's toss garter which she, of course, never tossed. All of the lace that we used along the band of her garter was also taken from her mother's wedding dress. My favorite part? The little tiny ivory pearls. All vintage. All sentimental. All perfect. 

Ok, one final photo and I'll stop. Promise. This is by far my favorite photo of Brittany's designs as it features not only one of her hankies but also her garters. The little sunflower details lend the entire project such a cheerful and happy feel. I can't even get over it! What a love-filled, special tribute to her mother! And what an amazing set to pass down to her daughter someday! 

Brittany, if you are reading this, then I want to tell you how happy I am that you reached out to us! When I think of you potentially passing any of these gorgeous designer items down to your daughter someday, I tear up with emotion. I mean, two legacies of Sullivan women is one thing, but three?! Please tell me that this is going to happen! Thank you and your mother for trusting La Gartier with such an serious and love-filled project. We can't wait to work with you again in the future!
