Chapter 325 - A Rushed Wedding (9)

19 April, LY Studio, City K

Seeing the tiara, Lexi, and Abigail both gasped. Lexi could not believe what was in her hands. The tiara that she was going to be perfect for both Abigail and the dress. The tiara that she was about to arrange to lend her would have been a pale imitation for them. It was obviously delicate the design was carried by the metalwork which used Gold, Silver and Platinum to create a stunning design with just a sprinkling of diamonds to pop the flowers in it.

Lexi quietly said, "Abigail this is going to suit more than what I was going to lend you."

In similar hushed tones Abigail said "It looks perfect, not too fussy but…"

"My thoughts." Louder Lexi added "But it means we need to change the lace in the back of the dress as this will not work with what it there."

A few seconds of silence ensued while Lexi replaced the tiara in the box, before someone on a nearby table placed some lace, and asked "This one?"

Lexi moved over and removed the tiara from the box again and placed it on the lace. The lace had embedded in it threads of silver and gold, which bounced off the tiara. Her staff's instincts were correct. This would work if they had the right crystals to sprinkle on the lace. "Crystals? Mmmm. Swarovski, for sure, but…" Lexi paused and said, "Abigail what gemstones are in the rings?"

"Sapphire and diamonds. I took a photo and it is on my phone as I thought you might need it."

Lexi moved and carefully went into Abigail's handbag pulling out the phone and handing it to Abigail, who unlocked it and opened the photo before handing it to Lexi. After a quick glance Lexi handed the phone back and said "That solves the dilemma. Absolutely Swarovski Crystals. Use say thirty-one or so Crystal AB, with eleven Sapphire AB, five Light Rose AB and five Crystal Meridian Blue and attack them with silver and gold thread. If we need a few more when you attach them for every five Crystal AB, you use add two Sapphire AB and one of each of Light Rose AB and Crystal Meridian Blue. But do not overkill the crystals as we do not want to overwhelm the dress or Abigail."

"Boss, how about using Cobalt and Light Sapphire instead of the Sapphire AB and Crystal Meridian Blue and White Opal instead of the Light Rose AB. They would work better."

"As the dress will be worn tonight, it needs to change in the light therefore we need Swarovski effects crystals to achieve the right impact." Lexi paused and said, "You took her measurements?"

"You think we are stupid boss?"

"I wonder sometimes."

"Hey boss, we sometimes wonder about you."

With this there was a round of laughter, and Abigail looked confused. Lexi said, "I will tell you about this later."

"Seriously we need to get things resolved. What did you opt for the civil registration?"

"Dress and jacket that his being adjusted as we speak. Best we could do as we are working with the ready to wear collection is a blush coloured dress contrasted with a navy jacket from the ready-to-work range and accessories."

"Navy, too dark?"

"With the dress you called Dreams Come when you designed it …"

"That old one? I thought about something from the newly released collection. I was thinking the Rose-coloured dress with a cream jacket"

"We all know how popular that dress in the various shades we make it is with teenagers and twenty somethings, so we wanted to use that. Combining the Blush dress with the Navy jacket and accessories just seems to work, but both can be used separately as well meaning that it is not a waste. The bonus was that the adjustments are only taking minutes to make. The Rose-coloured dress was considered but none of the jackets we have here worked with it and the adjustments we would have to make would take at least two hours."

"Reluctantly I will trust you." Lexi saw that Abigail was being assisted out of the wedding dress and into the Blush Dreams Come dress. Watching Abigail change, maybe they were right. There was something that just seemed right with that dress.

As she moved over to Abigail, Lexi quietly said "Do you know where you are staying the night?"

"I have no idea. I guess we will be heading back to Steven's apartment. While he has agreed to this wedding, I am realistic that this, in his mind will be a paper marriage. And before you ask my motives are about not letting my mother win, but other than that presently…"

Observing Abigail's emotions Lexi realised that she wanted something to happen, but she did not know what. It was easy to read that Abigail was already invested in a relationship with Steven more than she even realised. Interesting, as she realised when talking to Steven before he was also invested in the relationship.

"Abigail do not worry. I will send some clothes to Steven's apartment but bring a bag with a complete change of clothes for you in case you do not return to the apartment so you do not have to worry." Pausing Lexi added "Steven has asked me to call his friends and contact Monica to get them to his family villa tonight for a simply blessing ceremony and celebration. I promised him that I would not tell anyone why, but is there anyone that you want me to invite?"

"Not really. I have shielded myself from having my classmates interact with my mother. I worried that she take out her frustrations about something they said on me once they were left or given her need to acc.u.mulate s*xual partners try and have brief affairs with their father's ruining their parent's marriage. No way I want to be involved with that."

"If you change your mind let me know who they are and how to contact them. Steven has asked me to arrange for people to attend without telling them what is happening."

Nodding Abigail slipped into the jacket offered her, while Lexi stood back appreciating that the staff had the right idea for the dress.
