Real Weddings: Meet Jojo

Jojo and Michael locked in their love under the approving gaze of Abraham Lincoln. As DC residents, it made perfect sense for these two to celebrate among the treasures of their city. With the Reflecting Pool and the Washington Monument to their backs they said I do in an intimate ceremony. Jojo looked statuesque in our draped linen Kensington ballgown skirt and silk jersey ballet tank.

Real Weddings: Meet Rebecca

Magic Mountain, wedded bliss. Rebecca and Adam picked a symbolic year to be married in the great wide open with this year marking 100 years of stewardship of America's national parks! The couple started their destination festivities with a pre-wedding photoshoot in Yosemite. There was so much natural splendor to fall in love with making it a splendid location in which to celebrate their love. Rebecca chose to wear our Kensington, as she and Adam explored the striking waterfalls, deep valleys, grand meadows, and ancient giant sequoias and we couldn't be more pleased. Here's to your continuing adventure you two.

Real Weddings: Meet Kelsey

Kensington is one of my all time favorite gowns.  The simplicity of the silk jersey ballet tank paired with softly draped open weave linen layers has a romance and casual elegance to it that just strikes all the right chords.   Kelsey's intimate backyard wedding in Michigan was  so clearly planned with personal connection to each of the thirty attendees in mind and perfectly matched Kensginton's relaxed vibes. Such a sweet celebration!

Real Weddings: Meet Claire

How gorgeous is Claire and Scott's rustic winter wedding in Philadelphia?

Claire used a beautiful combination of seasonal greenery, magnolia leaves, natural branches, and succulents to create a warm and woodsy vibe with elegant details. Her Mulberry skirt and Kensington bodice were finished with a cozy topper for just the right amount of vintage glamour.
