{Bridal Shoot} Sonoran Splendor

I am beyond obsessed with this gorgeous bridal shoot from Jenae Lopez Photography! My words won't even do the shoot justice, from the breathtaking Sonoran Desert backdrop to the bride-to-be modeling a vintage gown - I will have to let these stunning photos do all the talking!

From the Photographer, Jenae Lopez Photography: With the Sonoran sunset and cactus soldiers as our backdrop, my beautiful model and I headed out for some vintage Wedding dress fun! The gown is actually her Mother's Wedding gown-- and she wanted to get some pre-engagement photos in the dress. At the same time, she was a very artistically-inspired gal-- so wanted to make it a trendy and artistic shoot--- I think we nailed it! We changed clothes a few times, either adding to the dress, or keeping with the Ivory/white themed "dress code". I am in love with these images...I love the thought of a Vintage bride with some flair!

Bridal Hair Accessories - Nell' Amore Bridal Consultancy

Good Morning Vintage Lovers! I apologize for the sporadic absences these past few weeks, I have been swamped with college finals, preparing for graduation and a big move! As I sit here staring at my life in boxes I can't help feeling a little sad, many of these belongings I probably won't even see until after the big day! So as I turn the page on one chapter of my life, today's featured post couldn't be more appropriate, bridal hair accessories from Nell' Amore Bridal Consultancy.

The accessories a bride wears as she steps into the next chapter of her life are often just as important as the dress! More specifically, hair accessories have taken center stage over the traditional veil for the 2012 wedding season. This stunning period inspired collection from Nell' Amore Bridal Consultancy has me doing some serious swooning!

So what will you be wearing as you turn the page on a new and exciting life chapter - a traditional veil, a birdcage, or even one of these gorgeous accessories?!

An Antique Store Bridal Shoot

I am officially in love with this bridal shoot from Aaron Snow Photography. Not very common for brides here in the North, the bridal shoot is typically a very southern tradition. The bride meets with her photographer in full makeup, hair and dress for a solo session weeks in advance to the big day.

Well after seeing this picture perfect combination of an antique store, a beautiful Rivini bridal gown, and a flawless bride; I am seriously considering bringing this tradition to the North for my own day... love it!
