DRESS UP YOUR WINE BOTTLE

Every woman wants her big day to be perfect, down to the tiniest detail. For every bride, it meant that even the bottles of wine served at her nuptial dinner needed to be dressed accordingly.

Two years ago, my friend SOREL spent pretty penny on decorations for her wedding, but still felt something was missing. One of her complaints was that the wine bottles on each table were “naked”.

This became the motivating drive for me

I decided to dress up the bottles, creating little miniature bridal gowns for the wines.

Wine appears at almost all wedding receptions and I thought it would be an awesome idea if the bottles were all nicely wrapped up.

A woman wears a veil only once in her life, but I believe the wine ‘wardrobe’, which can be kept as souvenirs of the wedding, will allow the couple to retain the beautiful memories longer.

I started on the design immediately and pictured them as down-sized versions of the wardrobe for both bride and groom.

I selected the fabric, lace, and accessories all sourced locally, sketched the first drafts and then proceeded to produce the miniature suits and gowns.

The little bridal outfit is like a real gown with a zip at the back, and it is cut to fit the bottle perfectly.

About the man type, I use some decorations just like metal flower, metal chain and button. Also I made a very small and cute bow tie for it.

One of my friends grabbed these first samples as soon as they were made and presented them as gifts to a pair of newlyweds. They were greeted with great delight, and the project was given the thumbs-up.

I rejected six versions of the crown before finally found what I had in mind.

In the next six months I created 13 styles of wedding gowns. Some are crinoline dresses with layers of lace and others have a more simple but elegant outline.

Using the crowns and veils to make the bottle look taller, which adds a more bridal element. It should fit the bottle and its curves and every gem had to be flawless

I hope the brides and grooms and the guests at the wedding would all see the beauty of the gowns on the bottle, rather than just consider it a wrapping for the bottle
