Serendipity - the faculty or phenomenon of finding valuable or agreeable things not sought for; also : an instance of this from Miriam-Webster.com
Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you expected one outcome and suddenly discovered something entirely unexpected and wonderful? We did. Last summer, we found a photo of an absolutely charming flower girl’s dress and posted it here on Lucky in Love. A couple of weeks ago, as we were putting the final touches on the new 2010 B&E Wedding Resource Guide, we got an email from someone who said they were the designer of that little dress. They gave us their website url.
Imagine our surprise to find a former wedding shop supplier who now sells exclusively online and makes custom and couture children’s formal wear, specializing in flower girl and junior bridesmaids dresses. The clothes are exquisite and each outfit is made to order.
Marg Hyland, the founder and president of Pegeen, has been designing children’s formal wear since 1982. They are located in Orlando and make all garments individually in their own US factory. They even answer their own phones from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. and you can speak directly to a designer. And we especially like that they believe you can have a career and kids too! You might even reach them on their cell phones during a field trip to the beach.
We feel lucky to have found Pegeen.com and wanted to share.
