Real Weddings: Meet Alex

What a sweet, private affair this is! Alex and Josh eloped in Maine at Kettle Cove with sunset views and a getaway car to match their obvious sense of adventure, 

Alex customized the Nolita dress by raising the neckline and adding sleeves for a bit more coverage.  Sweet vintage vibes all around!

Real Weddings: Meet Peggy

If a wedding can be a 'mic drop' this is it! Peggy and Miles' wedding was totally rad- all bright colors, friends, and fun! We would expect no less, as Peggy's personality shines through here bright as can be. We designed four separate, interchangeable pieces for her looks, allowing multiple changes throughout the evening and future wearability!

Inspiration: Anthorium

This fresh and clean editorial goes to show just how great simple can be!  It's not about more is more, which is so easy to do when planning a wedding. Perfectly refined details take the place of overdone trends and each part gets its chance to shine! This simplified decor proves that neutral colors and richly mixed textures are all you need to create a beautiful experience! 

Streamlined and bold furnishings and flowers are the perfect partners for our flowing, high contrast, floral print Anthorium Skirt and Tee. Pared down elegance for the win!

Real Weddings: Meet Alicia

There were so many things to love about Alicia and Dan's big day. First, this wedding was a surprise to the couple's guests; their nearest and dearest had been invited to Alicia and Dan's "going away party." As they arrived, friends and family were handed wedding invitations, SURPRISE! Second, there was the bride's finery. Alicia wore our Kensington Shorty, which was just right for enjoying this low-key, country road, outdoor wedding. And if that isn't enough to love there was the waterfall, dancing, vegan doughnuts, and a roaring bonfire. Congratulations on pulling off such an excellent, intimate celebration you two!
