Cat & Tim's custom Kambriel wedding ensembles

[kambriel]

For the upcoming wedding of meiow and timswar!

Detail of the skirt portion of Cat's dress:


These are somewhat "unfinished" since his jacket and pants are still being worked on, and her outfit will incorporate a corset she had made by blackrayne with accent panels of embroidered silk to match the jacket. All I can say is certain gentlemen out there will be of a most covetous nature regarding Tim's impending dapperness with this outfit to-be. He'll be dressed a la Gary Oldman in "Dracula" ~ from the daylight scene on the streets of London, wearing the dove grey suit... here's a preview of the light grey cotton Aramis shirt, plum silk ascot, and dove grey matte satin waistcoat:



Peacock lace neckline embellishment with glass beads, soutache, sequins and pearls:





Why yes, I was sentimental and joined the two peacocks together as one:


Detail of the sleeve of her bolero jacket:




Imagine this cinched in at the waist with the silk corset for their reception:


And with the jacket worn on top:

Gasp! The dress is beautiful but that jacket completely elevates the ensemble. Such a gifted person you are!

[kambriel.livejournal.com]

The jacket was always the main part of her outfit really, but I got a bit carried away with the other details ~ I am honoured you like it!

[christianet.livejournal.com]

Exquisite!!!!!

[kambriel.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I hope they'll think so too :)

[humglum.livejournal.com]

Beautiful!

that jacket is stunning.

[kambriel.livejournal.com]

Thank you! It was one of those things where after being *up close* for so long, it kind of took me seeing it through the lens of the camera to distance myself enough to really see and appreciate how it's all coming together :)

[icprncs.livejournal.com]

I don't have words. Absolutely exquisite work.

[kambriel.livejournal.com]

Thank you... it's been a joy working with some really incredible fabrics for friends projects lately, your grey & black silk included!

[blueiduna.livejournal.com]

Beautiful beautiful! I do hope she shares some pictures of the full ensemble, complete with wedding-glow!

[kambriel.livejournal.com]

She ~always~ has a glow about her, so I can barely imagine how beautiful she'll be that day!

[meiow.livejournal.com]

I'm... speechless! You took some pretty fabrics and made it into a work of art!

*tries not to cry from the pretty*

[kambriel.livejournal.com]

........smiles.......

I just want you to know that so much love is put into each piece. The two of you are definitely a "meant to be" couple, and I know how special this is for you. It's so important that nothing but the best of energy is being put into it all ~ you deserve it!

[aibrean-gra.livejournal.com]

Gorgeous! Love the peacocks...

[kambriel.livejournal.com]

I detected a bit of a peacock undercurrent of a theme for the wedding, so I couldn't help myself when I realized I had those appliques on hand ~ I had a batch I dyed in the past, but as luck would have it there were still some original ivory ones as well :)

[aesthete.livejournal.com]

Oh my!

That fabric is stunning! Oh, you've outdone yourself!

[kambriel.livejournal.com]

meiow selected it locally at my favourite fabric shop!

[theblackdeer.livejournal.com]

I don't think I have ever seen such an amazing wedding gown, and I am being serious. Almost makes me want to do it aga-----er, nah. *LOL*

[kambriel.livejournal.com]

I think it will be twice as pretty with Cat in it!

I have no idea what I'll wear to the wedding, but one thing's for certain ~ no one will have any trouble figuring out who the bride is ;)

[miintikwa.livejournal.com]

Wow, that is so incredible!

[kambriel.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[keeperoflegends.livejournal.com]

Oh my goodness, it's all so beautiful. Makes me want to get married again so I can have you do something just as beautiful for me. You are a genius!

[kambriel.livejournal.com]

You are too kind ~ thank you!

[victorianrose23.livejournal.com]

OMG Kambriel. That's AMAZING. You are so incredibly talented.

[kambriel.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you like it! Cat & Tim were the inspiration and had a large hand in determining what the end result would be :)

[blackrayne.livejournal.com]

She is going to look so smashing in that dress.

[kambriel.livejournal.com]

I keep picturing it with that glorious corset you made, and I think that's the piece which will help bring it all together! You even made me change my mind on the bias lacing contrasts for the back of the jacket ~ originally they were going to be teal, but I went with a more muted tan/taupe silk that looked like it would be a good match with the contrast silk you used :)

[kerrykate.livejournal.com]

wow!!!! Makes me want to get married so I have an excuse to have you make a dress for the event!! Just beautiful!

[kambriel.livejournal.com]

You don't *technically* have to get married to have the dress ;) I can however see you in loads of antique tea-dyed ecru lace...

[felicitoussk8er.livejournal.com]

You've outdone yourself! So, so, SO beautiful!!!

[kambriel.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! I feel lucky that they gave me such great inspiration to work from :)

[darkdawn.livejournal.com]

That really is a gorgeous piece.

I've sometimes wondered to myself.....

If I ever got married....would Kambriel be able to do a uchikake for me?

teehee

cheers!

[kambriel.livejournal.com]

I absolutely would!

My mother's parents and grandparents lived in Japan and her parents were actually married there. I've always loved kimonos and still wear them regularly. I rather enjoy making them too :)

[dark-phoenix54.livejournal.com]

*fans self vigorously, then swoons*

That is the most beautiful outfit I've ever seen. Not exaggerating. You do exquisite work!

I need to find a 'swoon' icon. Have a standing ovation instead.

[kambriel.livejournal.com]

Wow, that's some seriously high praise ~ Thank you!

[devilandmouse.livejournal.com]

Breathtaking. I gasped when I came across the green jacket picture. Wonderful work Kambriel!

[kambriel.livejournal.com]

The green silk is gorgeous ~ perfect for a Spring wedding!

[dali-muse.livejournal.com]

Absolutely beautiful!

[kambriel.livejournal.com]

Thanks Gala!

[nohwhere-man.livejournal.com]

Uh, can I have that suit when he's done with it? (repeat previous awesomeness here)

[kambriel.livejournal.com]

I think you'd have to wrestle him for it ;)

[jaborwhalky.livejournal.com]

You need to make them send you photos of them in this stuff and it looks so good .

[kambriel.livejournal.com]

No worries there since this is one of those rare instances where I actually get to be at the wedding too!

[desecration.livejournal.com]

Wow-beautiful!

[kambriel.livejournal.com]

Thank you Laura!

[valerian.livejournal.com]

Holy wow!!!!

[kambriel.livejournal.com]

Are the fabrics beautiful? You wouldn't believe how many tiny crystal beads I have from plucking them out of all those seam allowances!

[shnells.livejournal.com]

This is gorgeous! It's making me very excited to see my dress!

[kambriel.livejournal.com]

And yours is next in line! :)

[acid-poptart.livejournal.com]

Stunning darling!

Just stunning!

[kambriel.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I wish you were able to come to the wedding ~ with as much as Cat & Tim love one another, it can't help but be a beautiful one :)
