Houston Botanic Gardens Styled Shoot with the April gown
Next Chapter Weddings put on another fabulous styled shoot in Houston and asked me to join as a vendor. I jumped at another opportunity and sent Brandi my April gown.
You may know this about me already, but I LOVE cacti! So I’m obsessed with this gorgeous venue!

Southwest Styled Shoot at 71 West
This is only one set of 3 for the styled shoot at 71 West with the Wrangler and Wildflower gowns from my Southwest Bride Collection…so there’s more to come!
The styled shoot was designed by Texas Hill Country Styled Shoots and inspired by Santa Fe, so I knew my Southwest dresses would fit right in with the bright, colorful, cactus-themed boho wedding.

Vegas baby! BTS Styled shoot with Erin Venable Photography
Photographer Erin was looking for a fun elopement dress for her styled shoot just a month ago and I took on the challenge of creating a new dress specifically for the occasion!
Meet the Vegas dress!
This dress is made mostly from a refurbished vintage wedding skirt that I was gifted from a client. I did not have much time, and shipping during COVID has been hit and miss, so I had to work with what I had, but it worked out perfectly, so no regrets!
Cute couple, Hayley and Bryen rockin’ these looks!

Styled shoot of the Darlin' gown at Yellowstone National Park with Gypc Girl Photography
Sky Stone at the Great Outdoors
I finished this dress along with a couple of other dresses a few months ago, pre-COVID, and kept waiting for this all to end, but after June hit, I could not wait any longer. So I collaborated with a small vendor team and we made sure to keep a distance when possible (hard with a model) and we all wore facemasks as well, including our model.
Since Callie and the photographer could stay 6 ft apart because of her long lens, we were able to get some shots in between with no mask.
The Sky Stone gown is named after the turquoise Sky Stone. Sky Stone dates back far as the mummy period, but it has a great meaning to the Native American culture, and that is where I borrowed the name from for my gown with turquoise details. They used to say it is the “stone that stole its color from the sky, …and it brings prosperity, good luck, and power” -(Kallstrom)
Designed to be comfortable, effortless, and carefree, like the badass women of the Southwest. Other dresses/jumpsuits in the collection include Mexican inspired embroidery. Link at the bottom of this blog post.
Stay safe y’all!
New Dress, Darlin' at McKinney Falls with Sunflower Stills
Oh Darlin’! This dress is inspired by the Southwest and 70’s boho fashion. I created a faux poncho on the top half of the dress, playing with sheerness, and the bottom half of the dress is very untraditional with it’s ankle asymmetrical hem, and easy-to-wear style.
I, of course, work with brides to create the dress of their dreams, but when I am designing for my brand, I am always thinking about the dress being easy to wear, comfortable, fashionable, and a little bridal-y.

Ellie gown at Enchanted Rock
I have not had the pleasure of visiting Enchanted Rock yet, but I LOVE The pictures I received back from this styled shoot by Kate Kenyon Photography.
Elopement in the woods
Thunderbird and Love Warrior in Joshua Tree California
When you’re wearing one of my Southwest bridal gowns, I want you to feel like a badass! Like you can kick butt(if needed) or kick back next to a bonfire.
Marina from MarinaWanders Photography was able to capture that feeling in Joshua Tree California on a short vacation she took over there with model Brie Bronnenberg.
Marina, along with coming up with the direction of the shoot, and photographing, also did all of the styling, makeup, and even some modeling herself! Insane!
The Wrangler gown went to Terlingua, Texas
So happy Amy from Al Gawlik Photography agreed to bring along my Wrangler gown to Terlingua, Texas. She was photographing bride/model Sasha for her wedding and the bride agreed to model my gown as well. I am very thankful because, when I moved to Austin from Florida, I thought everywhere was going to be more deserts! I am in the city, so sadly, we do not have too many desert areas I know of, but I love the desert! I love the cacti, the animals, the open space, and the overall feeling of history that makes me feel tough. That’s what I wanted my collection to be about. Southwest-inspired clothing makes you feel tough, ready for horseback, or to capture your own meal.
So meet Wrangler, made with geometric lace, pom-poms, and Mexican inspired embroidery.
Audrey Dress with the new “Gypc Girl Wagen”
Fifties styles not values
I love to put some vintage inspiration into all of my designs, and the Audrey dress is no exception. Inspired by Audrey Hepburn, this strapless gown is unique with its textured chiffon fabric, bow like bodice design, and removable lace topper.
I always love to work with Aubré from Gypc Girl Photography, and was extra excited to have worked with her with her newest “Gypc Girl Wagen”!
Lake Elopement with the Jazmin Gown
I can’t decide if I love the bright pink and blue boho hues more or the gorgeous lighting in all of these photos!

Lone Star Oaks Open House Styled Styled Shoot-Michelle B Photography
September 15, 2019 Lone Star Oaks opened their doors to the public for the first time for their Open House! They are still completing a few things, but I was able to sneak in a styled shoot with model Berenice, HMUA Glamour Face by Anshu, and photographer Michelle B Photography before the event started.
Berenice is modelling my hand embroidered Jazmin gown, my new floral headband, and Mantilla floral veil.
All available for custom orders.

Playground of Dreams-Marina Wanders Photography
The Kayla dress is known for being so light, fun, and easy-to-wear, so when Marina, from Marina Wanders Photography, came up with the idea of shooting a Bridal styled shoot at a Playground, I knew it was a good fit.
