For y’all who don’t know yet, my sister Rebecca is an amazingly talented fashion designer living and working in New York City. She’s been custom designing and making wedding dresses as sort of a hobby for a while now, and she’s decided to officially offer her services to the world (lucky you!). If you’re getting married, or know someone who is, by all means, give Bec a shout. She’ll be sure to make the most stunning dress you will ever wear.

Her newly-launched web site, rschone.com has the info.

Bec sez: “I have always been rather obsessed with wedding gowns. You just can’t deny, there is something wonderful and iconic about them… what can I say? I just love them. They are perhaps the only kind of garment that actually means something very special to both the wearer and designer, and that matters a lot to me. Making my own dress was one of the most satisfying projects I’ve ever worked on, but of course I only got to wear one! I’m not planning on ever remarrying either, so what is a girl to do? I want to keep designing them and making them for ever and ever.“

We were lucky to spend the weekend up near Wellsboro, PA to celebrate our friends Andy and Darshana’s wedding. Andy’s folks have this amazing farm right on the edge of the Pennsylvania Grand Canyon, which I have never seen before. We camped out there, falling asleep to the sounds of wild nature – toads and owls and all sorts of cool sounding beasties.

We took a hike out to the rim of the canyon, swam in one of their small lakes, played mad bocce ball, ate awesome vegan goodies until stuffed to the gills, and built huge campfires. An A+ event, for an A+ couple. Happy day!
