Sara Lane Clossen, wedding
This was such a fun wedding. I met the bride and her
mother in New York and we proceeded directly to the fabric district. We found
a gorgeous metallic organza, and a beautiful ivory charmeuse to put under the
organza. Sara wanted the dress to be luminescent, but low key. After we found
the fabric, in one of the worst blizzards New York had seen in 10 years, we
drove to Maine to their home, where it was beautiful and warm. My "studio" in
Maine had a breath-taking view of the Atlantic, with Kennebunkport to the south
and South Portland to the north. I watch the lobster boats and oil tankers come
and go while I finished Sara's dress. The bride's mother, Martha, took me to
fabulous restaurants and wonderful concerts every night. This was so much fun
to make a beautiful dress and have so much fun doing it - day and night.
Friday, the father, Ken (my cousin) came home to see our
progress, and his first comments were, "Why, it's beautiful," to which we all
exclaimed, "What did you expect?" After all this hard work in my beautiful
remote studio, then I had to go to the wedding in Nevis, British West
Indies, and sit around and be pampered with Sara's wonderful family and fabulous
new in-laws.

Before the I do's
Everyone is just a little nervous, but being on a tropical island for the
wedding sets us at ease.
