From the Bride.. I loved the shape and train on this dress, and the lace looks like all over lace but is actually lace appliqué, which was much more interesting. The under layer was a peachy-pink satin that was stunning, and I loved how it gave the dress a warm kind of glow, and was definitely out of the ordinary. So when I ordered the dress, I ordered two yards of extra lace (just to be sure!) so I could do alterations…
If my mother wasn’t an amazing seamstress, this dress probably wouldn’t have happened or would have been eye-wateringly expensive to do the alterations on, because they were extensive. I also found some matching soft peachy-pink silk to make a belt/sash out of at a fabric/sewing shop. My mom spend many hours hand beading and embroidering the belt that I wore! 100% bespoke and hand made.
From Archetype Studio Inc…..As you can see for yourself – her dress turned out amazing! We really enjoyed meeting and working with Adrienne and her mother. And I have to say… how cool is the internet?! Adrienne lives just north of Manchester, England. She found us online and booked her bridal session for the time when she would be in Houston visiting relatives for the holidays.

Absolutely love ARCHETYPE...they have such amazing work and my clients love just being around them! This veil and dress is to die for and wow, what a venue!
Ww Adrienne you look amazing, I knew it was you as soon as i saw that veil! xxx
Wow Adrienne, you look incredible! What a gorgeous venue, it suits the styling of your dress perfectly. It was a pleasure to photograph your wedding last year and a double whammy to see you looking so beautiful in your gown on Style me Pretty!
Super super photos! I loved featuring Adrienne's wedding on Love My Dress, Lucy's photos were beautiful. These photos are too so beautiful, Adrienne just oozes beauty!
Beautiful! Is this dress Style 8900? I've been eyeing that dress, but didn't know it could look this good!
Absolutely stunning. Gorgeous bride, gown, location, and I fell in love with the bouquet!
Adrienne, You look stunning! The pictures are fabulous and you were a beautiful bride!
Thanks for all of the lovely comments and kind words!!!
Virginia, it's actually style C155 which we made some pretty extensive alterations to...though I looked up 8900 and it looks very similar! When I was shopping there were no sleeves to be seen anywhere!
Thanks again ladies!
Doing Bridals after the wedding was such fun and I am glad we waited until afterward to do this shoot. Archetype Studio principals, Terilyn and Koby are consumate professionals and artist extraordinaire. Their choice of photo venue made for these breathtaking pictures. Lucy Stendal and Kelly in the UK did a marvelous job and we could not have done the wedding without them. Love you Adrienne, you will always my princess. "Two bodies, two hearts, one soul united."
Wow, my gosh these photos are very, very beautiful. Of course, you have to have good stock to work with. That would be my niece. Beautiful girl. The dress is gorgeous, venue stunning, Bride the best there is. Love you Adrienne.
This bride is such a classic beauty! Gorgeous pics!!!
Brides Beware! This company is very unorganized. We were promised our wedding date. Once we tried to pay the deposit, it was very difficult to get a hold of the coordinator through phone or email. I was told that a contract would be emailed to me immediately. I am still waiting to receive it. I made several calls to Château Cocomar to let them know that I had the check to ready for the deposit. I finally got a hold of the secretary and she told me that I could not come into the office because the contract was not in her possession. Today I find out that another bride went to the office days after I had contacted the secretary. This bride had dropped off a check to book on the same day. Though there was no contract, her money was received and cashed. Now I have to change my wedding date. Château Cocomar, is a beautiful venue. However I want a company that I can rely on, especially on my wedding day. If a simple contract is so difficult to attain just imagine organizing a wedding for two hundred people. I do want to state that Chateau Cocomar would knock off a thousand bucks for changing my date to another Saturday. Unfortunately I want the date that I met the man who I am going to marry. The same date that we got engaged, and the same day we will get married. Thank you Chateau Cocomar, I have learned so much through this experience. Does anyone have any suggestions??
Your veil is stunning, can I ask where it is from and how much did it cost please? xxx
Adrienne,
I have never been so inspired by a wedding post on Style Me Pretty! I hope to try on this dress and add sleeves similar to your gown. This is simply stunning, demure, classic, elegant... and absolutely regal.
