Life events of all kinds are made more special with clothing specifically created to express your joy. Here at Lily Absinthe, we share that joy with you when we have the privilege to create your individual look. I still enjoy “visiting” the silk and antique lace that I used to make my own 1890s styled wedding gown in 1992. <3
In creating our designs, we often take our inspiration from the natural world. Here are just a few of the many pictures we’ve collected and we’ll be incorporating them into mood boards. This is a long-term project and if you want to know more, be sure to check back often for updates. 🙂

Stay tuned for more…
We’re celebrating 24 years ago today, now every Lily Absinthe Gown is made with love. <3

For Karin, the first step after getting dressed was to get the obligatory “selfie”… 🙂
And here we are in our finery awaiting our guests…
And naturally there are those last-minute adjustments to be made so that everything is just right. Msr. Poiret would be proud. 🙂
And of course, I had to take the opportunity to demonstrate the finer points of arranging the bridal veil…
And now we await our guests with the assistance of our greeter Molly…
Stay tuned for more! 🙂
