So simple and so gorgeous! I LOVE!

What a perfect gift to give a bride!

This will be my next wedding gown!

Just found these 2 posts online!

What a nice surprise! Had to share! 

"I got married on April 4th in St.Simons Island. Caroline was our wedding coordinator.  I just had to send Caroline a Thank you letter for the amazing job she did on our wedding. She is the one that made my wedding so wonderful. She made us feel comfortable and always at ease and Happy. She trully made my husband and i feel like and Prince and Princess. Her warm smile and genuine attitude was amazing. The best part is that she took care of EVERYTHING so my mom did not have to stress about the details. I can not say enough wonderful things about her and her company. I love that the knot has a place to tell fun stories so hopefully many more brides-to-be will choose Caroline to be a part of your big day!"


"My daughter was married on St. Simons Island in April.  The best decision we made was to hire Caroline Carter as our Wedding Coordinator. She was with us the whole way through all planning and the actual wedding day. She was fabulous and took a lot of stress away from me (Mother of the Bride). She has great ideas and pays very close attention to details. Caroline was truly fun to work with. Her assistant was also very helpful and made sure both the rehearsal and the departure went very smoothly. I highly recommend Caroline Carter/Events by Caroline!"

Custom Gown Sketch
Pictures are great to remember your wedding day, but why not a sketch of the gown you’ve dream of since you were a little girl.

As a graduate of the Lamar Dodd School of Art of UGA in Athens, GA, I earned my BFA in drawing. I’ve spent years developing my drawing techniques and mark making skills. Now, I use my talents to create lovely custom gown sketches for the most unique brides.

Great designers like Vera Wang, Melissa Sweet and Monique Lhuillier have been giving sketches to their celebrity brides for years. Why not feel like a celebrity too!

The Process
What I need from you:
Detail pictures of your dress. E-mail me (abgrahamarts@gmail.com) a picture of you in it, magazine clippings, designer website or even your wedding website address if you have one.)
-Tell me what to focus on. If the back of the dress is the detail you fell in love with I can highlight that feature instead of the front view.

What you will receive from me:
- A stylized sketch of your gown on acid free heavy weight Bristol paper. I interpret it as my eyes see it. *It will not be an exact replica.
- It will be sketched in black pen, with a hint of grey for shadowing. I can add a certain color if your dress design includes such an element or by request.
- When requested, I can add names or wedding date. Please make sure your spelling is correct, I am not responsible for incorrect spelling. Shoes and bouquet can also be included (No extra charge).
