This post was written by Blanca, a very special mimoki bride. Not only because she is a super mimoki girl with whom we create new designs that she wears from wedding to wedding, but because she is truly amazing.

We get along great and she always orders her mimokis with blind confidence , letting us make designs that she sometimes tries on the very day of the wedding. And I have a good archive of photos of Blanca and all the mimokis she has worn since she made the first one at my house when I started making headdresses for my friends.

Now begins a project that I can reveal to you today and that I would love to be present at all the weddings. Dr Livingstone Yes I do Ana Maria!

I am writing to thank you for all the love and dedication that Mimoki put into my wedding day. My mother and sister looked spectacular in their hats. I also loved my sister-in-law Celia's when I saw her from the altar; and during the appetizer I identified a few more that I loved. You filled everything with color and glamour!

But above all, thank you for preparing the best and most special headdress I have ever worn. You couldn't have been more right. It went perfectly with the dress, with and without the mantilla. It was exactly the piece I had imagined I would wear that day and, at the same time, you managed to surprise me. I look at the photos and I'm amazed from every angle. Everyone loved it and more than one wanted to check with their own hands if they were really cotton.

Apart from that, I've started a new project called Dr. Livingstone, Yes I Do. It consists of offering anyone who wants it the story of their wedding. So that they can always keep the memories of the things they thought or said or felt that day, or the months they spent preparing it. To accompany the images with stories. So that they have a fairytale wedding and can read it whenever they want.

Thinking about my wedding and how I would write it, I realized that I would not only tell you that the bride was wearing Navascués , with an open back and crossed lace in a V-neck, that the dress was made of mikado with French sleeves and that it had a much longer train than I had initially thought. I would tell that, but also all the laughter we had the morning when the four of us were in the workshop trying things on my head.

So, thinking about it, I asked myself what are the things I really want to remember from my wedding. Or even better, what are the things I will forget and no photo or video will remind me of. Something someone told me, some anecdote off camera, some little secret we discovered later. A guy telling you something about when you were a little girl. Something you thought about right before you said “I do”…

And so this idea of ​​Dr. Livingston was born. A “photographer” present at your wedding without a camera who captures those moments to transcribe them with ingenuity and thus have the best memory of your wedding “off the record”

And as an example, here is the link to the story of my wedding, which completes, from another perspective, everything I just told you.

Dr. Livingstone If I want
