Real Bride: Liz + Charles

Working with beautiful brides is just one of the joys of our job. We just LOVE looking at the stunning photos from your big day. Which is why we cannot get enough of Liz & Charles’s wedding album. Their wedding was held at the beautiful Palma Ceia Yacht Club. Liz donned a gorgeous Priscilla of Boston  gown complete with an Ivy and Aster sash andHaute Bride earrings & bracelet.

Here’s a sneak peek of their photos, see the full album on Andi Diamond’s Facebook Page:

Real Bride: Liz

Liz and her family became one of my favorites as we went through the wedding gown process!  She had a stunning destination wedding and a stunning Badgley Mischka custom bridal gown and custom veil to match! My favorite part about Liz’s look was her originality.  We decided to make her skirt custom so that that bottom half would remove for the Reception! It was a great way for her to continue wearing her gown but sass it up a little bit! Take a look at some of her amazing photos below!

 

Real Bride: Caryn + Phil

Wedding Planning 101: Being Comfortable Is Key

It’s the day you’ve been dreaming about since you were a little girl. You’ve spent the last year planning & countless funds, time & energy preparing for the big day! Don’t let something silly like being uncomfortable let your day be anything but perfect. That’s why it’s important to consider the shoes you wear on your big day. Let me be the first to say, I love a great pair of stilletos just as much as the next girl. However, when picking shoes for your big day there are a few things you should consider. For instance, how well can you really walk in them? Depending on the venue, the surface you walk down may not be completely flat. The last thing you want is a mishap during your moment to shine. You will also be wearing these shoes for an extended period of time, unless of course you change before the reception.

Regardless of the shoes you choose, make sure you spend some time breaking them in before the big day. Scuff up the soles, make sure you can walk around the house, break out a few dance moves – whatever it takes to make sure these are the ones for your big day!

If you decide to take the less traditional route of wearing flats instead of heels, there are so many adorable options that you can choose from.

 

Shoes aren’t the only things you should consider. For instance, maybe you are thinking of fake eye lashes for the big day; make sure you try to wear them for a bit after your makeup consultation to make sure they don’t bother your eyes. Undergarments -  You don’t want something super uncomfortable rubbing against you under that […]
