The makings of our bridal photo shoot!
How are you friends? We hope you had a lovely weekend! We definitely had an eventful week, not only did we have an amazing Marchesa Trunk Show, but we also had our seasonal photo shoot. We do these photo shoots to showcase some of the key gowns, accessories and trends of the season! As you can imagine, prepping for these shoots is intense… We coordinate with the photographer, models, make up artist, hair stylist, florist, props, location etc This is almost like prepping for a wedding, but without the guests nor the honeymoon! Ha! But like most weddings, we had a blast and thought it would be fun to show you some of the behind the scene outtakes of our shoot! Stay tuned and look for the official shots in upcoming weeks! We can’t wait!
And, of course, just like a wedding, it takes a full village for this gorgeousness to come to life... Special thanks to the following: the photographer was the incomparable Ray Santana. The stunning gowns were Monique Lhuillier and Manuel Mota. The gorgeous accessories were Maria Elena Headpieces. The beautiful models were Heloisa Alves and Denise Dobeling. The divine make-up and hair was Cynthia Martens. The lovely flowers and bouquets was Karla Conceptual Event Experiences and the awesome vintage props are from Salvage Snobs! XOXO

Loving Lace!
Lace, lace, lace! When it comes to wedding gowns, we adore lace! Lace has been used by brides for hundreds of years. They’ve incorporated it in veils, handkerchiefs, sometimes, even on shoes. But our favorite use of lace are lace wedding dresses. It's clear why it is so popular... It is so delicate, so feminine, so special. In essence, it is simply breathtaking! Lace can be a nod to tradition, yet still feel very timeless and modern! Here are some of our favorite lace gowns we’ve seen recently. Would you wear a lace wedding gown? Tell us your thoughts, we always love to hear! For more lace inspiration, go here!

Happy Friday & Would You Dare?
Yay Friday! Every once in a while we like to shake things up and get out of our comfort zone. So we’ve designated this weekend as an offbeat weekend and we’re going to do something a bit off the beaten path. We’ve been throwing around ideas – maybe canoeing? Maybe going to a new restaurant and having our waiter order for us? Maybe facing our biggest fear and skydiving? Not sure what we’ll do (probably not skydiving, ha!) but it'll hopefully, turn out to be a fun, shake things up kind of weekend!
This got us thinking, how risky and/or offbeat can a bride be? Would you dare move out of your comfort zone on your big day? Here are some dresses from Manuel Mota Bridal Collection that are not your traditional wedding dress. We think they are so CHIC & FANTASTIC! Would you dare!?!?!
XOXO
