Wedding Fever and Other Things

A. Pentragnani is busy with some wedding collections. The fashion house has two brides that want custom designed wedding attire. Everything from the wedding gown, groom's tuxedo, bridesmaid and flower girl dresses to accessories such as purses, bouquets and even hairstyles. The collections will be named after the bride.

The most pressing one is the Elda Collection. It features a 1950's inspired tea length lace dress, gloves (or no gloves), and bridal purse. The wedding is this simday and will be very small. The groom will wear a standard MAXIS tuxedo, there is not a wedding party, thus there are no bridesmaid dresses and such. The entire thing is low key. Our photographers will be taking pictures of the event and of the bridal outfit for the catalog (if we ever decide to offer the collections internationally). Thankfully they have booked a great setting at the Apple Valley Historical Church followed with a reception at a downtown resturaunt. Everything is complete, except the bridal purse.

For the Selita Collection, the bride has some time, one or two simdays, before the wedding. She is much more fun and creative. Let's just say her hair is bright pink and the wedding will be at the Modern Art Musuem in downtown Apple Valley. We're working with her now to make prelim sketches about styles and lines of the wedding dress and wedding party (her teen sister is the bridesmaid and the groom's twin brother (who is the groom in the Elda Collection) is the best man). Her colors are bright pink, black and white. Her collection will include the wedding dress, bouquet, custom hair style (she can't envision her wedding without her signature pink hue, but needs a more formal style), bridesmaid dress, and tuxedos.

There are a few other brides as well, but I'll let you know more as they are closer to completion. Still haven't decided about offering the collections internationally. Don't think there would be much of a demand for them, but since they were made for the locals, it wouldn't hurt to offer them up, especially since A.Pentragnani isn't a retail business, but a custom designer.

Pahala Shore is going well, an episode will aire this week. The ? Show is almost done filming, need to edit and send the episodes to the network, working on the 2nd episode as well. Things are pretty busy here, but going well.
