I’ll never forget the day I got an email from a father of a bride. He wanted to know if I could add lights to his daughter’s wedding dress which was less than a month away. I thought it was interesting to hear from the father of the bride, rather than the bride herself, knowing how particular most brides are about about every last detail about their weddings, especially the dress! My first question for him was— “does your daughter know you’re calling me, and is this OK with her?” He responded with: “yea, she is [...]

I woke up one morning, feeling like I wished I had a different life. I wished I could have pursued my dream to become a fashion designer instead of wasting my time getting a degree in Cultural Anthropology at UCLA. Why didn’t I just go to art or fashion school!? My dad went to art school. Why didn’t I consider that an option for myself? I wished I could be like my idol, fashion icon, Betsey Johnson. I thought about how incredible my life might be if I could meet her. What if I could ask her how [...]

Pubished on the Huffington Post!  Curtis Dahl Photography, Hair and Makeup by Krystal X Kaos, Dress and Veil by EveyColor is the new white! Straying from the customary Queen Victoria-inspired white dress, brides are flocking to Pinterest, Rock N Roll Bride and Green Wedding Shoes for inspiration on how to make their day as vibrant and unique as they are. Hovik Harutyunyan of Modern LA Weddings tells brides how “many cultures around the world don’t even wear white for their weddings!

I send lots of one-of-a-kind couture Electrical Light-Up Fiber Optic and LED Wedding Dresses to Burning Man, Lightening in a Bottle and Electric Daisy Carnival! Light-Up, Fiber Optic and LED Wedding Gowns are so much fun to work on! The dresses “lights up from within and had an LED petticoat.  The attention these dresses got drew crowds literally like moths to a flame and created a beautiful glow of light, ethereal for any photographer to capture.  What a unique and perfect way for a bride to kick her reception up a notch, by turning on her LED [...]

This year’s newly re-imagined MTV Movie & TV Awards culminated with the ultimate After-Party, recreating interactive fairy tale scenes amidst a star-studded gathering of winners, nominees, presenters, performers and merrymakers at the Shrine Expo. I was so honored to be hired to create a light up Cinderella dress and glowing headpiece for this playful interaction between art and technology. The event, a collaboration between MTV and Toyota, cued live dreamscapes from the Toyota C-HR Cinderella campaign with iconic film and TV spots. The dress, a glowing ball-gown I created for this, was on display, worn by Lucent Dossiers Cinderella in [...]

So honored to have my rainbow light up wedding dress on the beautiful Rebellious Bride, Minna Dufton, in Finland!!!

In 2012, I got an email from a company called Simply Spray, asking me if I’d want a box of their fabric spray paints to use on one of my future wedding gowns. I was so excited when the box of colorful spray paints arrived, and it just so happened to be on a week that I wasn’t busy with other projects. Needing something to paint on, I took a trip to a local thrift shop, bought some old wedding gowns which I then cut up and revamped into the perfect canvas. I was ready to paint. I [...]

by Minna Dufton - Rebellious Bride When Rebellious Bride was born three years ago, with her I set out on a mission to shake up the traditional and quite conservative white, picture-perfect way of getting married in Finland. In a country where 40% of first marriages end up in divorce and many of those recycled brides, like me, end up marrying again, that picture was in need of updating – and updating with humour, colour and creativity.  Now, with Finland’s first alternative wedding guide book and website already under my belt, my career as Finland’s official bridezilla, stunt guitarist and The Bride [...]
