Inspiration – Summer Star Gazing

Posted on May 14, 2012 | 2 Comments

I have always been a bit of an Astronomy nerd and thought that a great theme for a summer wedding would be a Star Party. Even better if you can plan your wedding during a Meteor Shower! (the Perseids Meteor Shower is usually most visible during the second week of August, just saying…)

Plan the ceremony for the late afternoon or early evening and then party on into the night! Set up a nice tent for the reception, some place rural with great open views of the sky. Decorations would be simple, charming, rustic, possibly homemade if you are feeling up to a DiY project!  Light your tent with some string lights and swags of tulle or sheer fabrics, accent with paper lanterns or mason jar lights!

I envision a vintage inspired gown, but with some modern flare (Check out BHLDN, they fit this aesthetic perfectly). Dress your bridesmaids in something simple but with a little sparkle to invoke the theme.

NEW WEB ADDRESS!

Posted on May 10, 2012 | Leave a comment

From now on, this website can be found at http://www.ericagreenwold.com.I decided to do some shuffling of my web addresses.  I now have a separate website for costuming stuff, and since most people associate my Kairi G alias with my costume work, www.kairigdesign.com is now the Kairi G Cosplay website.

In other news, I am currently working on a Bridal gown and three Bridesmaids for an August wedding in Upstate NY. First fitting of the gown is next week, hope to have some pictures to share soon!

Hello darlings! I hope you enjoy these beautiful photos from my client Leana. I finished her gown last summer and her wedding was in the fall. Her gown is satin with crystal beading in various shades of white and pale silver in an asymmetrical pattern on the bodice skirt.  Congrats to her and her husband!

I am currently open for custom gown commissions for Late Summer/Fall 2012.  Feel free to shoot and email to kairi.g.bridal@gmail.com if you are interested!

Come see us at the Alternative Bridal Expo!

Posted on February 25, 2011 | Leave a comment

Next week, March 5th and 6th, I will be at the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center exhibiting at the first ever Alternative Bridal Expo. The Bridal Expo is part of a bigger Lifestyles show which is going to be awesome as well!  I am mainly excited for this show because it blends my career and my costuming hobby into one awesome show, it will be like attending a Bridal Show which also greatly resembles the Sci-fi/Fantasy conventions that I go to for fun! I look forward to meeting all sorts of new people and making some new connections in the Alternative Fashion scene!

I will also be participating in their Fashion Show, so if you go, not only stop by my booth, but also check out the Fashion Show!

Check out the Events Page for full details! Hope to see you there!
