I am still enjoying the afterglow of my marriage to the love of my life. We were married on March 8, 2013, in the presence of family and friends in La Jolla CA, in a ceremony overlooking the Pacific Ocean. On this most perfect of days, I am forever grateful to Maria Elena Bishop, the artisan who created my wedding gown. I visited Romantic Creations armed with photos that embodied pieces of my vision. After two amazing hours with Maria, that vision, her artistry and her uncanny sense of what I wanted, were sketched into a design that would become my wedding gown. Vintage and modern, elegant and romantic.. an ivory strapless silk charmuese under layer topped with a Chantilly lace light-as-air gown with a portrait neckline, sleeves to the elbow, buttons down the back, a short train and Maria's signature crystal-accented flowers scattered down the front and back. The fit was amazing and was so comfortable throughout the wedding day. A custom made wedding gown may not be for everyone's budget, but before you might dismiss it, pay her a visit. Her workmanship is unsurpassed. She works by appointment so you get her total attention during fittings. She is a warm and dear person with a big heart, who dedicates herself to making you a beautiful bride. She truly knows what looks good on a woman's body and she had terrific ideas for my shoes, how I should wear my hair and the amount of jewelry that would accentuate the gown. She is a treasure and Nashville is lucky to have her. Your gown is the centerpiece of the wedding. Let Maria create a one-of-a-kind gown for your most special of days. - Lydia Lenker
