Chicago Wedding, Tea and Flowers Dress

 I'm so happy to receive these photos from bride Katie from her July 2014 wedding in Chicago!  Both the bride and her sister met with me to create the wedding dress and bridesmaid dresses, they were a joy to work with.  The bride picked the Tea and Flowers design made in white eyelet cotton and the bridal party picked the cornflower blue color Pleated Collar design.

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
