What is cottagecore?
Cottagecore is an aesthetic that celebrates simple living, particularly in the countryside. It encourages a lifestyle rooted in traditional skills—like baking bread, gardening, and sewing your own clothes. (The Good Trade)
Cottagecore is small paisley prints that remind you of Little House on The Prairie, your grandma’s house, and running through fields of wildflowers.

Published recently on Glamour and Grace Blog, this elegant styled shoot was inspired by Parisian vibes and yellow tones.
The Felicity gown can be styled in many different ways, but its silk chiffon and lace appliques make it romantic, light, ethereal, and perfect for a spring wedding.

It was such a pleasure working with real bride Ashley on her custom-made bridal top, bridal pants, and bridal cape.
Since the lace was such a big part of this design, we spent some time searching for the perfect one. It’s a modern organic floral embroidery on tulle fabric from French Lace supplier, Imperial Lace.
We chose shiny ivory satin for the pants with a champagne tuxedo stripe and waistband. We also added pockets!
The matching cape was inspired by celebrity bride Solange’s wedding cape. My favorite part of the design is the last-minute lace applique we added to the inside of the cape!
The buttons down the back and the bustier-style bodice make this wedding top distinctive.
Ashley and Beth got married on October 20, 2020, at the Dallas Heritage Village at Old City Park.
Dallas Heritage Village is home to the largest and finest collection of 19th-century pioneer and Victorian homes and commercial buildings in Texas.
They were married in front of their masked friends and family during the 2020 pandemic.
