tradition and romance that every bride is looking for.

Bridal Gowns

The trend in wedding gowns seemed to be nostalgia. We wanted
to accentuate by creating the quality of old photographs,
yet keep punches of color to keep it contemporary. The fact that
this is so different makes it one of my favorite fashion features
and I love the ghostly quality to it. I thought the blond looked
like Jennifer Jason Leigh.
