Rare Dirndl Brides of 2014

I was so honored to have a small part in the weddings of 3 wonderful couples in 2014! I created more bridal dirndls in 2014 than ever before and here are some great photos from this past year's great couples!

Mary-Claire and Jeramie

 

Mary-Claire and Jeramie had a beautiful garden style wedding in a forest preserve just outside of Chicago. I was honored to have made her dress as well as the grooms vest, the groomsmen vests and the bridesmaid dirndls. Click here to see more of their wedding pictures on our Facebook page.

Kristel and Hansi

Kristel and Hansi had a lovely church ceremony followed by a formal ballroom reception. They had German inspirations throughout their June wedding in Cleveland, OH from edelweiss in the bouquets to German food for dinner and a local German band at the reception. It was a joy to create Kristel's formal, all white bridal dirndl, the bridesmaid's dirndls and the groomsmen's vests. Click here to see more of their wedding pictures on our Facebook page.

Kristina and Chris

Kristina and Chris had a welcome dinner the night before their wedding and it was an Okotberfest theme! Her husband knew he was going to wear his green gingham trachten shirt and his lederhosen and I was so excited to make a dirndl that fit the color scheme and her personality. They got married in September in California and she said, "the wedding was epic!" Click here to see more of their wedding pictures on our Facebook page.

Rare Dirndl Customer Spotlight: Connie Gartner

Connie Gartner - Williams Bay, WI

When my mom and I went to Germany to pack up and sell my Opa's condo, our favorite thing to do on the weekends was to sit in the town square and watch all the ladies and girls walk by on their way to church in their dirndls. We both agreed then that when I got married, we would fly back to Germany to have mother and daughter dirndls made. 

Unfortunately, when I got engaged, my mom had recently passed away. It was important to me to honor our agreement and find a drindl for my wedding dress. I was incredibly lucky to find Erika - so close to where I live and so willing to work with my ideas! She took my thoughts and wishes and created a beautiful wedding drindl that my mom would have loved.

My one-of-a-kind wedding dress was exactly what my mom and I had in mind so long ago when we saw the girls in their dirndls on the way to church. The best part about my dress is that my mom and I had the idea for it, and Erika made it a reality.
