Inspiration comes in rare form at unexpected moments. Actually, inspiration often meets us in ordinary, day-to-day moments and catch us by surprise. That's exactly what happened to Dionel Fisher, owner of The Mittentog. As Dionel was browsing dresses on Rent the Runway, she came across one gown that stood out to her. The simplicity of the dress and geometric sheer cut out in the neckline incited Dionel's creativity. She collaborated with Krystle Waivio, owner of Krystle Waivio Hair and Makeup and with Alex from Events by I. Candy and they started to design a stylized wedding that focused on a minimalist palette with clean lines and an organic feel.
