Case Study

The Project : Wedding

The Challenge:

Suzanne is a 29 year-old solicitor who lives in Windsor, Berkshire. She had met the man of her dreams and wanted to enjoy a beautiful wedding day in a gorgeous dress documented with stylish photography. She was attracted to Busting Diva by its chic and accessible website and further impressed by the speedy response she received. Suzanne asked Busting Diva to help with her bridal gown and the photography. She already had a dress but wanted it re-designed. For the photography the brief was to capture the genuine mood of the day with style but without an obtrusive photographer seen to be directing the proceedings.

The Solution:

The Busting Diva dressmaker was able to accurately interpret the style that Suzanne had in mind as well as giving her styling advice on the whole look for the day. Suzanne left her session with ideas on the veil, the heels, the accessories ­ and where to buy them. Busting Diva introduced Suzanne to photographer Karl Grupe. His lush lifestyle portraiture, still-life details and cool manner offer clients a contemporary and stylish approach for a modern wedding. Suzanne and Karl spent time beforehand discussing exact requirements and his existing knowledge of the venue meant that he already knew the best spots to shoot.

The Result:

The bridal gown, one of the stars of the show, was ready 3 months before the big day. This was a comfort to Suzanne giving her one less thing to worry about in the final preparations.

"My wedding dress was perfect. It fitted me like a glove and was exactly the style that I wanted."

"Everyone commented on the dress and said it was 'stunning' and asked where I'd found it. My guests were amazed by how perfectly it fitted me."

"Thank you also for introducing me to Karl Grupe - he was absolutely brilliant!" said Suzanne of her photographer "The candid shots are wonderful as they gave us an insight into the parts of the day that we missed... the pictures he took on the day are beautiful - they still make me cry when I look back on them."

And what did the guests think? "My new sister-in-law commented that these are the best wedding pictures she's ever seen. I am inclined to agree..."
