Wedding Dresses Designer Liz Fields Got Married!

We are so happy for wedding dresses designer Liz Fields, who got married on November 29th, 2012. The ceremony took place in Miami Beach, Florida, a wonderful destination wedding!

Liz Fields was wearing her own design. Here is what she told us about her wedding dress: “As my wedding was an outdoor, intimate gathering, I wanted to create something simple, yet elegant that would be easy to dance in all night!  I opted for no train and no embellishments other than the beautiful texture of the Venice lace which gave it a vintage touch. I believe a dress should enhance your own beauty, not overshadow it!”

Painting Your Wedding Dress & Wedding

You can even hang a picture of your wedding dress in your living room if it’s painted by a great artist like Laura Martindale.

Hiring a painter to paint at your event is a classic way to keep the day around you forever.

Karen Winters painted a couple in a gazebo from a distance, a scene that a photograph would make look too planned.  If you can’t afford one of these artists, try going to a college art student or art teacher to paint your bridal party’s portraits (its a great thank you gift) as well portraits of your parents and other family members.
