NATURAL FABRIC WEDDING DRESS WITH SLEEVES

when getting married outdoors, many brides gravitate towards natural fabrics. the comfort of a natural fiber wedding dress is unmatched. you’ll be able to feel the quality of fabrics like silk, cotton, and linen, the second you put them on.

wearing ‘mimosa’ by alena leena, alexis’ natural wedding dress with sleeves was so romantic. this luxurious silk blend polka dot jacquard dress had the perfect amount of detail without being overpowering. wearing mimosa’s off-the-shoulder sleeves for the ceremony, alexis later converted the gown to a strapless ensemble for moments like dancing and taking wedding photos!

INTIMATE OUTDOOR WEDDING VOWS

for couples that don’t want their entire wedding ceremony to take place outdoors, having your first look or wedding vows outside is a wonderful way to embrace the outdoor amenities your venue has to offer.

for #aandbabe lauren and sam, their outdoor vows were the perfect time to pet their dog. dressed up in a dapper collar, their dog wedding portraits captured the relaxed vibe of their big day!

GREEN BRIDESMAIDS DRESSES

light green bridesmaids dresses are ideal for a nature-inspired wedding day. lauren’s bridesmaids wore a mixture of moss green and sage green bridesmaids dresses. since lauren and sam got married in the fall, her bridal party dresses contrasted against the fall foliage!
