Polka Dot Wedding Dress

Wednesday, September 8th, 2010 by WGSA

Looking for a gown that’s a little different and expresses your personality? Local designers Alexis George created this dress for their daughter. The article below is taken from Alexis George’s new Bridal Blog.


Micaela’s Polka Dot Wedding Dress

Pat and George Georgiou, designer and owners of Alexis George are proud parents to induct the first photos of their daughter Micaela for our Real Brides Album on our website. Can one imagine the difficulty of a designer having to design the perfect wedding dress for their daughter? Micaela is such a beautiful individual and she came back home with so many tattoos after falling in love with Dan, a tattooist from the famous LONDON INK. So it didn’t feel right for her to have a traditional wedding dress.


Micaela's Unusual Polka Dot Bridal Gown


Micaela soon fell in love with a polka dot fabric she found online. Pat eventually warmed to the idea, and collectively we searched high and low for the ideal polka dot, until there was only one option… to handpaint the perfect-sized polka dots on dupion pale pink silk in their workshop (at the back of their store).


Pat and George were relieved when Micaela succumbed to adding Pat’s beloved frothy tulle (a tiny truly ‘bridal’ touch) in the train. It was a mad rush until the last to get everything ready for the first wedding in the family. Micaela later changed her wedding dress to a fun, light yellow polka dot cocktail dress during the festivities.


If you love Micaela’s wedding dress style, Alexis George have the ivory version available in store or you take a look at some of their other great gowns here or their new website.

Classic Wedding Entrance

Thursday, September 2nd, 2010 by WGSA

We’ve had a few people ask us lately about different Wedding Entrances and we had a bit of a look around stumbled across this Youtube video which is very funny. Im guessing it’s probably going to take a bit of practice but definitely worth the result.



Since we put this out we’ve had a few other suggestions that were pretty funny such as this “Wonka’s Grand Entrance” that the groom would probably be better of tackling, but it would be sure to get a laugh that’s for sure.
