Real Wedding: A Love Story Dress

 Bride Cori wore the Love Story dress in ivory cotton and lace to her September 2013 wedding!  I love the mix of purple heels and cardigan with the knee length wedding dress to give the wedding a more non-traditional, personal feel. Photography is by Scranton, Pennsylvania based Two Sticks Studio.

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
