Chapter 504
“Mrs. Xenos, what style of wedding photos do you prefer?”
Sophia glanced at Alexander, then threw the question back at Celia. “What style do you think is suitable for us, Ms. Hathaway?”
Celia was a sweet girl. She had directed the question at Sophia immediately, valuing her opinion.
Hearing Sophia's reply, Celia turned her eyes to Alexander, then back at Sophia. Finally, she called an assistant to bring over several sample photo albums. “Mr. and Mrs. Xenos, you are both outstandingly beautiful people. In my opinion, you two can pull off any style. It really depends on what style you like, Mrs. Xenos.”
Everyone loves compliments, and Sophia was no exception. She smiled and said to Alexander, “Ms. Hathaway certainly is good with her words.”
Celia smiled at Sophia's remark. “I know it sounds like I'm exaggerating, but it's the truth. After all, the netizens have already laid down their judgment on your appearance, Mrs. Xenos.”
Celia paused for a beat. Then, she placed one of the sample photo albums in front of Sophia. “If you really have no idea what style you like, perhaps this may stir your imagination.”
The thought of wedding photos had never really crossed Sophia's mind. When Alexander and she got married back then, they had not had any photos taken. Thus, she had long forgotten that wedding photos were part and parcel of a wedding.
“Okay, thank you.”
Sophia picked up the album and started to flip through it. Celia found an excuse to leave the two of them alone in the office.
Sophia turned to Alexander who was seated beside her and asked, “What style do you like?”
“I like them all.”
Celia was right. With Sophia's and his good looks, any style would suit them. The end result would look beautiful regardless of what they chose.
Anyway, Alexander did not care what the photos look like as long as the person in the photos with him was Sophia.
Alexander was better off not giving a response at all. Sophia smiled to herself. She had not had much hope that she would receive any helpful input from him, anyway.
Even before Katherine had entered the entertainment industry, she had loved cameras and modeling for photos. Sophia, on the other hand, disliked having her photos taken. She preferred not to be in front of a camera if she had the choice.
Now that Alexander had brought her here to take their wedding photos, Sophia was having a hard time deciding on a style.
She had never had wedding photos taken before. The sample album showed models in various styles. Sophia thought all the styles were beautiful except for the overly extravagant ones.
She thought for a moment before pulling out her phone and sending Katherine a message.
After all, Katherine was also in the entertainment industry, and she was so much more familiar with such things than Sophia.
Katherine was relaxing when she received Sophia's message.
She quickly replied: Are you taking wedding photos already?
After the message was sent, Katherine felt that her words may be taken the wrong way. She quickly followed up with another message: Soph, don't get me wrong. I didn't mean to say...
Sophia smirked to herself and ignored the question. Instead, she typed: What style of wedding photos do you think would suit Alexander and me?
Any style would suit the two of you. Just pick any style you like? was Katherine's response.
The two of them would look good even if they were dressed in potato sacks.
To that, Sophia replied: Oh, I just wanted to pick the best style.
Since it would be their wedding photos, she wanted them to look their best. Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
Katherine thought for a while. Then, she suggested: Vintage style! I don't think I've ever seen you dressed in vintage gowns before, Soph!
Katherine could not help imagining how Sophia would look in beautiful vintage dresses. Even as a woman, the thought of it was enough to make Katherine sigh in admiration.
I don't know how Sophia grew up to be so beautiful! We are both women, we both grew up together, and we ate the same things! How are her legs so long, her chest so lush, and her waist so narrow? Yet, she isn't too skinny! She's well-proportioned with such seductive curves! She would look perfect in vintage gowns!
Sophia read Katherine's reply. Coincidentally, the photo album on her lap was open on the pages showing vintage-style photos.
Yes, vintage style sounds pretty good! Anyway, I still have that dress that Kylie brought me to have made when we were in Doveston back then. I still haven't worn it yet.
Sophia pointed out the photos to Alexander and asked, “What do you think of these vintage-style photos?”
Alexander glanced at the photos. Then, he raised his eyes to meet Sophia's and said with a smile, “It looks great.”
He had never seen Sophia in a vintage gown before either.
Sophie quickly and randomly picked out a few other styles.
They had no budget to consider, and all the photos were planned to be taken outdoors. Since the couple were good-looking people, the resulting photos were sure to be beautiful.
When Celia finally received the list of styles from Sophia, she smiled.
The moment she first laid eyes on Sophia, she had thought the latter had the perfect face and body for vintage gowns.
Of course, Celia had not said that out loud to Sophia. It would not be very polite to say something presumptuous to someone she was meeting for the first time.
She felt her heart flutter with excitement when she saw vintage style included on Sophia's list.
She had photographed many brides in vintage-style shoots, but not many women can pull off vintage dresses. However, Sophia's complexion, body figure, and aura all seemed as if they came straight from olden-day Jazona.
After leaving the bridal studio, Alexander and Sophia went to grab some lunch.
After that, he brought her to meet another person.
“Hello, Sophia.”
Sophia turned to Alexander. “Who's this?”
“This is Ms. Lydia West. I've asked her to design your wedding dress.”
Sophia was momentarily stunned. The name “Lydia West” was not unknown to her. Ten years ago, Lydia West was known for her intricately embroidered wedding dresses. All the wedding dresses made by her were now considered collector items and were priceless.
Five years ago, Lydia retired, and she no longer accepted commissions for wedding dresses. Sophia was surprised that Alexander had managed to talk the famed designer out of her retirement.
“Hello, Ms. West. I have long admired your beautiful work.”
Lydia smiled kindly at her. “There's no need to be so formal with me. Alex's grandmother and I were very good friends. Please call me Lydia.”
Sophia did not expect Alexander to be so well acquainted with Lydia. She laughed in pleasant surprise and said, “Okay, Lydia.”
The older woman gazed at Sophia with soft eyes and said, “What a beautiful young lady you are! If only Alex's grandmother was still alive... She would've been very happy to meet you. She loved beautiful people since she was a baby.”
Sophia ducked her head, embarrassed by the compliment. She had always been beautiful and was used to hearing all sorts of compliments, but she felt awkward hearing such words from the elder woman's mouth.
Alexander cast a sideway glance at Sophia. “Indeed, she would,” he acquiesced, his eyes gleaming with delight.
Lydia, too, loved beautiful women. She gazed at Sophia with a soft smile and declared approvingly, “One look at you, and I know you're a good girl.”
Sophia's face burned. She quickly picked up a cup of tea and handed it to Lydia, trying to draw
attention away from herself. “Lydia, please have some tea.”
Lydia chuckled upon seeing how shy Sophia had gotten. She exchanged a quick glance with Alexander. Then, she accepted the cup of tea from Sophia and said, “Alex tells me that you two will be getting married soon. Time is running out! I'm older now, and I can't make wedding dresses as quickly as I used to be able to. Tell me, what's your dream wedding dress?”
Sophia was not prepared to answer such a question, but she had faith in Lydia's taste. “Lydia, you have so much experience in making wedding dresses. I'm sure whatever you design for me will be perfect. It'll be silly for me to make any demands of an expert like you.”
Lydia's smile widened at Sophia's words. “You're such a sweet girl! Alex asked me to design the wedding dress two months ago, but at that time, I haven't met you yet, so I'd only made a prototype. Since you're leaving it up to me, I'll design the dress for you. Don't worry. I'll make sure you will be the most beautiful bride ever!”
