This fabulous book is packed to bursting point with wonderful ideas for a dolls' house wedding. Expert dolls' house maker, Sue Johnson, has created a lavish setting - The Bridal Salon - compiling three floors, full of winding staircases, fountain features, bridal fabric and gown displays and a dressmaker's workroom. Step-by-step photographs and careful instructions tell you how to create this dramatic piece and a vast range of bridal gowns and accessories.

The latest craze among dollhouse hobbyists is a special event theme—and what could be more special than a miniature bridal salon? These complete plans for making a lavish, high-ceilinged, three-story estate come with illustrated instructions for finishing it down to the tiniest detail. Furnishings for each room unite interior design with wedding decor. An outdoor garden features an arbor, fountains, trellises, and floral arrangements. A dozen bridal gown styles offer themed designs such as Cinderella, Royal Ascot, Swan Lake, and Hollywood Panache. Accessories include veils and tiaras, petticoats and corsetry, purses and parasols—even miniature invitations, rings, gifts, table settings, and, yes, dollhouse confetti!

This specialty dolls' house is actually a miniature shop, a three-story bridal salon called "Pumpkins and Butterflies." Following a section of step-by-step instructions for building and furnishing the salon, Johnson, a professional designer and dressmaker, turns her attention to the brides' dresses and accessories. These are exquisite creations, and the projects are full of tips for realistic draping and shaping to fit a six-inch doll. A section of full-size patterns and templates is given. Any of these dolls would be collector's items, making this an excellent selection for public libraries.
