Inspired: Fleur Bustier and Chambord Skirt by Jodi Miller

Sometimes the simplest styling packs such a punch! Take this shoot created by Kendal of Q|A Designs for example. Kendal chose to showcase a few of our separates and just look at how she rocked them (of course, Venita Aspen, with those oh-so-long lashes, natural hair and that mega watt smile helped make the job easier). We love that Kendal left the Fleur Bustier untucked from our Chambord Skirt creating a little crop top goodness. And how 'bout the drama of the Cloud Nine Capelet in those last few shots. All white washed, sun lit goodness.

Inspiration: Iolite by Lucy Cuneo

Southern charm and European details abound at River Oaks in Charleston, SC. Stucco facades and stone water features provide rustic charm in this sophisticated shoot from Lucy Cuneo and Mallory Joyce. The bride's loose locks and that rich and wild bouquet fit the intimate vibe of this ceremony. We love the way our Iolite glitters in the candlelight.

Real Weddings: Meet Megan

Megan and Scott’s wedding was summertime romance at it's finest. The southern charm drenched fetè took place in Charleston, SC. The couple exchanged vows on the banks of the Ashley River. Megan was the very first bride to wear our Centaurea gown and she did it so right! She kept her accessories minimal and let the seamed gold cloque ballgown shine. The huge coral peony in her hair was the perfect finishing touch. After the I-dos, guests dined on low country fare and danced the night away with the bride and groom, who started the party off with a choreographed number. Congratulations you two!

Real Weddings: Meet Brandy

It's a NOLO I do! These lovers wed the New Orleans way. They exchanged vows in the French Quarter at Broussard’s, a building that has been radiating old world charm since 1834. They celebrated with a second line parade down Bourbon Street (an age old city tradition). Brandy chose our Pherousa gown, and her look was perfect for leading the band! Congratulations on your Big Easy love.

Inspiration: Chrysolite Bustier + Kensington by Vicki Grafton Photography

This old world charm in Charleston is a perfect example of rustic elegance done right, starting with our Chrysolite Bustier and Kensington Skirt in ivory linen. Like the combination of sequins with the more relaxed linen, the pairing of the historical grounds and stables with a bit of nuptial glamour hits just the right tone of informal luxe.
