Inspiration: Sparkles by the Sea

Sequined, blush, joy. The sparkle of our Sequined Smoking Jacket on top of our Chrysolite Bustier and our Kensington Skirt all tied up in a neat little package with one of our custom sashes. All things good in this shoot on the shore.

Inspiration: Erato by Paul Simon

The raw power of the ocean and the raw beauty of our Erato are perfectly matched in this shoot by Paul Simon Photography and Janna Brown Design. The castles in the sand backdrop is straight out of a dreamscape, a reality we can hardly believe exists on the shores of Newport California. All movement, all drama, all as it should be by the sea.

Real Weddings: Meet Larissa

Larissa and Michael's celebration at the Green Building takes the proverbial cake. This end-of-summer, Brooklyn wedding is industrial romance at its finest. Larissa's birdcage veil and jeweled t-straps bring a little vintage glam while her peek-a-boo tattoos and urban locale add a little edge.

Inspiration: Triteia by Dawn Heumann

A private setting in the trees, and lavish just-for-two details (like that cake and whiskey bar) make this romantic, minimal elopement an inspiration. For anyone wanting a simplified to-do, this fete is bare bones beauty at its finest.

Real Weddings: Meet Becky

Becky and Joey's wedding is one party we want to attend! All smiles, friends and love. And let's talk style. Becky chose to do a custom combination with our Aleister Bodice + Mulberry Skirt. We adore it paired Joey's sharp blue suit. And how great are the photos of these guys taking it to the street? Congratulations you two.

Real Weddings: Meet Emily

Emily and David had a beautiful fall wedding in Saratoga Springs, New York. Emily stunned in our Tourmaline Gown and Mica Veil. The classic silhouette, with architectural seaming, was the perfect fit for this elegant fete. Emily's gold flecked Mica Veil and (cruelty free) Australis Faux Fur Shrug finished off her look and complimented the the rich jewel tones of the season.

Inspiration: Centaurea at City Hall

Meet Centaurea. Our seamed gold cloque ballgown just eloped in San Francisco's stately City Hall. Neutral florals make up the softest, most beautiful bouquet, and our Mica veil shimmers just so. The majestic staircase, the classic architecture, the light, the luster, all so luxe.

Real Weddings: Meet Christina

Christina and Steve were married at the French Legation Museum in downtown Austin. This celebration was full of personal touches. The couple exchanged handwritten vows, and were serenaded by a lovely group of women in Christina's family during their ceremony. Can you believe that the bride designed their invitation suite herself?!? So much talent, so much beauty, so much love.
