Flower Girl and Bride Photo Shoot Wedding Inspiration PART 1

 Introducing my latest collection of flower girl and bridal party dresses.  This is a mini collection I've been working on over the past few months and got my lovely sister Ally and daughter Lulu to model for! I've always wanted to create a matching flower girl and bridesmaid inspiration photoshoot so these photos are so special to me and I'm thrilled to be sharing them! I'll be posting more dresses from this shoot throughout the week so check back soon!

 Tea length wedding dress titled 'Sound of Music' with a deep v-neck back and scalloped flutter sleeves would be perfect for an outdoor garden wedding. The flower girl is wearing the ivory dotted tulle 'Flower Waltz' dress with rose trim and a vintage lace headband from my collection.  Flower bouquet is by Kate Said Yes

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
