I knew I had to have Mika make my dress once I got engaged! (she was referred to me by friends). At our first meeting, I told Mika some general details I wanted on my gown and within minutes, she had sketched the perfect dress! She really listened and helped me visualize my dress. We started with the initial fitting and I loved watching my dress in the creation process with each visit to New York. The end result was a stunning dress! Mika added front and back pleated details and strategically applied lace appliqu?s all over the dress. Hand-beaded Swarovski crystals were sewn onto each lace appliqu?. I loved the low cut back that was embellished with covered buttons. The dress was light-weight and comfortable so I could move around freely all day. I also wore Mika's custom bridal wedges which matched the dress perfectly. It had covered buttons at the back with satin ribbon ankle wrap. They were so comfortable and the blue stitching detail on the quilted sock was so special. The shoes came packaged in a pretty blue box which I now use to store wedding keepsakes. :) She also customized my cathedral veil with some of the same lace details as my dress. Mika is so talented and such a pleasure to work with!! Her energy is contagious! I'm lucky to have found an amazing designer and friend.
