Amanda Archer Bridal 2014 Dress Collection

Photos from my 2014 wedding dress collection are up!  This collection was a continuation of my philosophy to create vintage inspired dresses with a modern twist and a pinch of whimsy, easy and comfortable to wear using natural fabrics like cotton and silk and using vintage inspired laces and trims. I've included side seam pockets in as many dresses as possible since I happen to be a big fan of pockets in general!  To find out more info and shop my collection visit me by appointment only at my Chicago studio or visit my Website or Etsy shop

Real Wedding: Eyelet Cotton Gown

Bride Caitlyn is wearing the Rendezvous eyelet cotton gown (with pockets) to her March 2013 wedding!
A note from the bride:

I just wanted to thank you for a beautiful dress. : )
Here are a few reasons why it was perfect:
It needed no alterations - fit perfectly out of the box.
The eyelet completed the look of my picnic style wedding.
I got so many compliments about such a beautiful and different dress.
My groom was pleasantly surprised that it was not the "usual" satin or taffeta.
It made my waist look tiny. ; )

Real Wedding: Rendezvous Gown

 

I'm so excited to share these photos from Katie's beautiful March 2013 wedding in Port St. Joe, Florida! I love the purely gorgeous ocean background!  The bride ordered the strapless Rendezvous style gown in white cotton and eyelet with added buttons on the back zipper placket (customized).  Katie and her mom came to my studio for a fitting, they were both so wonderful to work with.  Really one of the sweetest mother daughter pair I've had the pleasure to work with!
