Her name is "Audrey"

So I guess it is only fair that I share a little sneak peek at THE DRESS. Our photoshoot is July 19th and I am sooooo excited about it. I can't even to begin to tell you how thankful I am to be working with some of the most WONDERFUL people. They are all bending over backwards to help make this amazing. Abbie Takes Pictures, The Crimson petal, Salon Dakota, Tyler, our little models and many, many more. This is just surreal....

I have to say that is has been almost a decade since I took my college drawing classes (OMG, I just gave away my age..oops!). Everyone says "Oh, it's like riding a bike" Well....HA! Maybe for them, but for me it just helps to get all of my ideas on paper....good or bad, beautiful or simple. So, from the first touch of my pencil to the paper "The Dress" was born and... Her name is Audrey:

How Lucky Can One Gal Be!!

Good Morning!!!

The past few days have been like a whirlwind to me. It is amazing that all your dreams can come true within a matter of a week. God has truly blessed me and I am fastening my seat belt as the journey begins.

For those of you who don't know me my name is Amber and I am a Designer and seamstress. I have had my own Children's clothing company called Bullfrogs'N'Fireflies for 7 years. I sell on ebay, etsy and on my website www.bullfrogsandfireflies.com

The years have been very good to me, but I have always had this passion for bridal wear. I have talked for many years about making custom wedding gowns and eventually opening my own shop. Well, I guess when it is the right time, it is the right time....in the matter of weeks it has blossomed into a wonderful dream. Something I am afraid I am going to roll over and wake up from. But, I have come to realize this is not a dream....I am not wearing ruby slippers...my name is not Dorothy, I in fact and living my dream....

I am pleased to announce that I will be partnering with W.E.D.D. Stl and offering my One of a Kind Custom Wedding Gowns and bridal wear in our Shop in Webster Groves. Yes, I said shop!!!
Wedding & Event Details and Designs is the premier place to book all of your vendors in Saint Louis. We provide complete wedding and event services in ONE location.
Abbietakespictures, Rockstar DJ, The Crimson Petal, It's the little things stl, and The Vintage Vixin.

So, I ask myself.... How lucky can one gal be??? At this moment I am not quite sure, but I can say that I am holding on tight because the ride has just begun!!

Hugs, Amber :)
