Felicity at the Atelier Du Jour in Salem Oregon with Kendra Cates Photography

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.

Elopement Styled Shoot at the Desert Compass Inn

Real couple Kelly and Elizabeth modelled for our styled shoot at the Desert Compass Inn this past spring with travelling/elopement photographer, Erin Venable Photography.

The Desert Compass is a trendy vacation rental property in Albuquerque, New Mexico. It looks so cute and it would be a perfect wedding venue for any one of the boho dresses from my Southwest Bridal collection.

Kelly is wearing the Thunderbird gown and paired it with matching turquoise earrings and leather boots. Our model Kelly made the earrings she is modelling. They are campitos turquoise made with repurposed leather. Check out more of her work on Instagram @kellyhorriganhandmade

Fun Fact: The fringe on the Thunderbird gown has been updated with a brighter polyester fringe instead of the original cotton fringe that got too messy and wadded up after the first styled shoot. I love natural fibers just as much as anyone, but with dresses that are going to be worn multiple times, like my dresses for styled shoots, sometimes a manufactured fiber is the way to go to be time and cost-effective. With that being said, I absolutely recommend natural fibers (silk, cotton, linen) for your wedding day, since you are going to be only wearing them once and they are more luxurious.

So often we see weddings/elopements take place during the evenings and photos are always great at the 5 o’clock hour, but have you considered a morning elopement in the park, with that gorgeous morning sun?

Re-introducing the Dewdrop Gown

The Dewdrop gown may sound familiar but I updated it recently and wanted to re-introduce her. She was photographed by several photographers at this styled shoot so these are just some of the first ones I got back from Ericka Geier Photography, more to come!

The Dewdrop gown is made with seaweed-style coral sequin stretch fabric, nude knit lining (bodice), silk chiffon, and silk charmeuse. She was designed for the modern bride who loves comfort, pink, and sparkles. Perfect for a beach wedding, a modern downtown wedding, or a pink modern elegant wedding at Houston’s Lux Vita. (see below)

Changes made to the Dewdrop gown:

Added silk chiffon ties at the center back to hold the dress on better because of the deep V in the front and back.

Added a zipper at the center back so it can fit more models/brides. (Pull-over style previously because the top is stretchy)
