Easy, Breezy, Bridal Style....Inspirations from a Summer Sky...
If you have a casual style, these images/ideas may inspire you...
Using homely, natural elements to bring in the outdoors....and ditching the formal men's wear....
choosing simple touches...the purity of a daisy, the charm of a grograin ribbon... the simplicity of wildflowers in a jug..

Do something unique and throw away the idea that a beautiful event has to look a certain way or cost thousands of dollars.....it is the details that make an event special and your love and commitment that is the main event...so think outside the box! borrow a friends meadow, or lakeside, or barn even. Try to be flexible and go with what is in season (flowers AND food). I have a thousand ideas, so feel free to ask me! I love events!!

And for the more fresh, modern take, this one shoulder Mori Lee....If you know of a local bride, let her know that my local price is lower, since i do not have to pack and ship.

The Vintage Bride...Channeling your Inner Starlet..
Not every woman wants to look traditional on her wedding day. Some are more sophisticated than sweet--Think Lana Turner or Rita Hayworth, instead of Elizabeth Taylor. This is especially true when the Bride is past the first blush of youth. No matter what your age or situation, EVERYONE wants to look their best and most beautiful on their wedding!
Here are some photos for inspiration on achieving a drop-dead gorgeous look...
When Old Hollywood Glamour is your style...
Above is the true vintage look and below is the contemporary equal (Paula Rooney Brides)
Simple Details Make All the Difference... But you also have to use caution with this style. A plunging neckline may be more appropriate for a cocktail party, not a church. And, a lingerie inspired, bias-cut gown requires special undergarments to achieve that smooth, flawless look. Frankly, bias-cut satin on anyone of a fuller figure is not the best choice. If you are a larger size, or full busted, try looking for a layered, A-line gown with beading or draping for a more flattering look.
