Alex Nabaum shares the process of creating this blushing bride for LDS Living magazine. The article discusses how to deal with the roller coaster of emotions that comes with a wedding.

“I was thinking about how a bride imagines a fairy tale wedding, but in reality the mothers could be fighting etc. etc. Then I remembered in the Cinderella Disney movie how the birds hold up her veil when she runs out of the church and thought wouldn't it be funny if the birds were fighting with each other?”

“I decided the birds needed to show a wider variety of emotions. I looked at pictures of Jessica Alba when drawing the bride.”
