Wedding inspiration: the airiest dress of them all

Float down the aisle in the Alurina gown!

We love the full on fairy tale vibes of the Alurina gown! Airy and flowy with just the right amount of texture and draping, she’s the perfect wedding dress for the modern bride looking for a whimsical feeling ballgown. Just add this loose half up, half down bridal hair and top with golden details!

Inspiration: A Rose Gold Wedding

Wedding Inspiration: Rose gold opulence in the English countryside

We’ve seen such a trend in weddings with gold details this year and we love when brides choose to accent their gowns with gold embellishments. The Hibisci gown in Dusty Rose silk organza is the perfect backdrop for metallic gold Italian embroidery of abstract butterfly wings. With architectural flattering seaming in the bodice and a train fit for a queen, this royal wedding gown is a current fave for sure.
