    The whole design process was very collaborative, inspired by a poem, “Goblin Market,” by Christina Rossetti. Zac originally draped it with the real-life flower foliage from his house upstate that later became the embroidery for the dress. It was not lace—rather entirely fine rose-color silk tulle, so it was extremely delicate. The embroidered flowers were all hand-sewn pressed silk that sat under the tulle.

    The dress had a 15-foot detachable train that had light green ferns embroidered around the edges, based on the natural foliage that Zac was draping with at his house in Pennsylvania.

    We wanted to create a river of flowers on the tables that gave the sense that they might run off in either direction and creating movement. Brittany and I have collaborated together before when I have entertained, so we already had a strong working relationship. She knows my aesthetic and came to see the space early on.
