My concept work for Emily
I found a second hand wedding dress (I was not going to make a wedding gown myself) and I made alterations. I decided I wanted to go for a more glamourous and beautiful bride look vs creepy and gross. I ended up having bad luck with two wedding dresses I ordered and then third time the charm which ended up becoming my final look! (this was after I had made my concept art so my design changed quite a bit) I used Tulip Color Shot spray paint to color the edges, along with some acrylic paint mixed with fabric medium. I was heavily inspired to go with a butterfly motif as the ending of the movie was so incredibly beautiful and that scene still sticks so heavily in my head. |
The Ribs
This actually stumped me for quite some time when I was figuring out how to achieve this. I didn't want to leave it out, but for the life of me I couldn't decide how to achieve it. Then I remembered I had some of this InstaMorph beads in my dresser and I felt like an Idiot it took me that long to figure out XD I painted the fabric with a dark blue paint that was mixed with a crap ton of glitter and fabric medium. I didn't want it to be grotesque instead, more beautiful and sparkly like the rest of the dress. I used rhinestones and pearls to line the edge of the painted area. |
The Headdress & Veil
My inspiration for the headdress was roses and dark colored foliage, with also light up elements as I thought it would create a beautiful look. For the veil I purchased the white version of the same veil I got for Sally's wedding look and used the same paints as the dress! I added rhinestones and mini pearls like what I added to the bodice of the dress |
The Bouquet
Made very similar to my Sally bouquet I made from 2019. You can find some amazing tutorials on how to make a bridal bouquet off of pinterest or youtube! I basically cut my stems to how long I wanted my bouquet, smooshed them together and rearranged leaves, etc. Flowers/etc were purchased from Hobby Lobby and Michaels. Fairy Lights were from amazon. |
Facepaint
Purchased from Techland Houston I decided to go with the brand: Tag I had used Tag earlier in the year and really enjoyed the coverage! I would recommend this brand and Graftobian to anyone wanting to get into facepaint! |

Shoes
I got some discount shoes at a store called CrazyBoss. They have great clothing and more for a discount Picked up this lacey wedding shoes that I will add pearls and rhinestones to. Color me surprised when I went to paint the shoes and looked up references I was surprised to discover that her white heels are actually untarnished! So I didn't end up adding any blue or black to them. |
I was very happy to find an amazing deal on a used Theater costume on eBay that really suited the time era for Victor!
The top piece is from a set called "Western Rhett Butler" It is a little rough in some spots but for what I needed it for it's perfect. The gray vest was purchased from a discount store called Crazy Boss. Black slacks and shoes are what is worn with Cozmo. |
