Real Wedding: Mint Ruffle Bridesmaid Dress

 So happy to share these lovely photos from Megan's July 2013 wedding!  The bridesmaids and flower girl wore dresses in mint cotton in various styles from my collection. Love the cowboy boots paired with the dresses to this outdoor country wedding!  

A note from the bride which truly touched my heart:

Amanda, 
On behalf of my bridesmaids and myself we wanted to thank you very much for making beautiful, amazing quality and gorgeous dresses for Josh & I's wedding! The girls loved the dresses and are very excited that they can wear them again! I attached some pictures for you but most of all I wanted to thank you for all of your hard work in producing the dresses. You can truly tell that this is what you love to do and it shows through your work!

 The mother of the bride wore the Painted Roses dress in green teal!

Real Wedding: Lemonade Yellow Dresses

So excited to share these photos from Mallaree's beautiful July 2011 wedding at The Red House in New York, photography by the extremely talented Elisha Orin (I'm a huge fan of her work). Bridesmaids are wearing the Country Dreams strapless dress and the Painted Roses v-neck dress (without the rose pin) and the flower girls are wearing the Ruffled Collar dress all in lemonade yellow cotton.

I love the vintage country details of this wedding.
Cutest cake ever, love the squirrel topper.
The red wagon for the flower girls is so much fun!

Real Wedding: Bridesmaids in Aqua and Red!

I was so excited when Bride Danielle contacted me about creating her bridesmaids dresses in different styles while keeping them in the same color combo of red and aqua. I just love the way they turned out, the colors are so striking! Below are pictures from Danielle's May 2010 wedding on Catalina Island, photography by Nicole Fields.

btw, love the shoes!
