Why Choose A Jasmine Sky Original
10 Reasons to choose a Jasmine Sky Original and order with confidence.
1. Effortless Beach Wedding Chic Is My Specialty: Your beach wedding dress must not only fit the occasion, location and your body but also your individual beauty and personality. My signature style is uniquely inspired by the tropics with the ‘wrap & tie’ theme of sarongs, the indigenous dress of the tropics, as well as the sumptuously elegant drape of silk. What could be more perfect for beach weddings than this mix of relaxed, universal fit and the sublime elegance of silk?! Add customization with hand painted art work and color and a dress off the rack just can’t compare.
Fit-Friendly: Ordering your wedding dress at a distance can be a bit worrisome but because my design process is uniquely inspired by the ‘wrap & tie’ concept of sarongs I am able to create universally sized garments that make fitting at long distance almost a non-issue! In fact, their fit-friendly nature is most appreciated when you gain or lose weight. This is invaluable with all the pre-nuptial nerves that you experience. Just remember this – “You don’t have to fit them, they fit you.”
Exceptionally Flattering: Enhancing your unique beauty and personality is my #1 goal. Coupled with their fit-friendly sizing, I design to enhance your assets. You will truly look and feel your most radiant in these styles. They are designed to be forgiving and to celebrate the feminine form. Each and every bride reports back that she had never imagined they could look and feel so beautiful not to mention receiving so many compliments and queries of, ’Where did you get that? You look stunning!’ What are my design secrets?
No skimping on the yardage
Bias cut (the stretchy, diagonal of the fabric) and
Diagonal lines integral to the design to create movement and length.
Ultra Comfortable: Most couples choose to be married on the beach for its relaxed, natural environment. You definitely want your beach wedding dress to reflect this choice without sacrificing bridal elegance. Comfort is one of my design pet peeves. I spent years as a dancer designing my own costumes. It is second nature to me to design maximum comfort into every garment. My dresses will most probably be the most comfortable you’ll ever wear. They are so comfortable that brides have described them as ‘better than naked’ - diaphanously light weight with the delicious sensuality of the silk against your skin.
You’ll be ‘as cool as a cucumber’: I live year round in the tropics and know how to design silk so that it is cool in the hot weather. Most people are unaware of silk’s unique property of being able to keep you cool as well as keep you warm. When silk is worn in sleeveless styles that allow for ample airflow, as my styles do. In fact, it is as cool as linen or cotton because it breathes with your body. Rayon or any synthetic does not. Did you know that silk also absorbs up to 30% of its weight in moisture without feeling damp?
100% Silk, 100% of the Time: I use only the natural fiber of silk without any blends with synthetics. You can see and feel the difference and is well worth the price differential. There are many weaves of silk which have different textures and finishes. Visit my Silk Gallery to see the weaves that I work with that you can customize your dress with.
Effortless Beach Bridal Chic: Although my designs have a fresh, contemporary look, they exude timeless elegance and will never go out of style. Should you have your dress made so that you’ll be able to wear it after your wedding, it will bring you many years of enjoyment.
2. Get Individual Attention: Your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life. Don’t settle on a wedding dress! Get exactly what you want. I have created my FREE Personal Design Consultation for you to work personally with me to ensure that you don’t get overwhelmed with your choices and to help you get exactly what you want.

3. I Design, Hand-Paint and Sew Every Garment Myself:
Unique Signature Style: The dresses you see on this site have a unique, signature style that you will not find anywhere else and will give you a distinctive island look perfect for your beach wedding. I am not just a middleman retailer selling mass produced dresses made in some sweat shop who knows where. Each garment is a work of silk art made especially for you. It is made by me, personally. You cannot help but come away with a dress that reflects your unique personal style and taste…the dress of your dreams that is perfect for you on your special day.
Old World Artisan Hand Painting: There is simply no comparison between an individually hand painted silk dress and a dress made from mass produced printed fabric. The old world artisan craftsmanship of hand painting and couture finishings makes your dress a piece of art wear and stands out as such. You can see the difference the moment you look at it and feel the difference the moment you put it on.
Couture Finishings: Your dress is constructed with time honored, old world couture sewing techniques. All the seams and edges are finished off with hand sewing or a pretty machine rolled edge ensuring the garment will not only hold up to a long life but it will also look beautiful inside and out!

4. Wear your Wedding Dress after the Wedding! The investment you make in your beach wedding dress will bring you many years of wear. Starting with a white dress? Send it back after the wedding and I can transform it into a unique piece of art wear by dying or hand-painting it for you after your wedding for many years of joyful special occasion wear. Or, customize your dress so that it will be something that easily becomes part of your wardrobe.
5. Solve all your Bridal Party Attire Needs in One Place. Give your bridesmaids and groomsmen the perfect tropical look while creating a cohesive, designer look by having your entire bridal party that you’ll enjoy forever in your wedding photos.
