It was so lovely to get this note from Ina after receiving her gown:

“ Hannah created a custom gown for my engagement shoot and I’m so happy with how it turned out! She was so patient throughout the whole process of creating the gown, and went above and beyond my expectations by sending samples, providing sketches, and sharing her input on the design. The dress looks absolutely amazing and fits like a glove. I can’t thank Hannah enough for all of the hard work she put into my dress and I can’t wait to wear it! “

Ina sent the photos after her photoshoot, saying “ It turned out so beautiful, thank you once again! “

Here’s some of her stunning photos. the photographer was Harpreet Panesar Photo and hair and makeup was by Dolled Up by Lulu.

The location was Pasadena City hall in California.

Congrats to the gorgeous couple! xo

Maximalist Monogram- Wedluxe

A maximalist wedding theme gives couples free rein to explore everything they love, from cheeky neon signs to vibrant colours. There are no rules with a maximalist approach to a wedding, so go bold or go home.

- CANDICE YUE, CANDICESTYLES

This wedding theme uses graphic and geometric elements, and pops of color to bring the whole thing to life without over-exaggerating anything. We incorporated Charles Demengeot's famous 19th century monogram as our focal point.

Fall Sunflower Wedding Inspiration- Rocky Mountain Bride

Featured on Rocky Mountain Bride!

The Inspiration

Sunflowers are a statement flower, bold, bright, and beautiful. This rustic chic sunflower setup is a wonderful choice for adding a touch bold and rich color, and highlights the fall or winter season at its best without overwhelming an arrangement or draw the eye away from the bride. For an ethereal and rustic feel, incorporate a sunflower or two into an organic bundle of other wildflowers. To make things feel as organic as possible, we left the stems exposed, and incorporated a stunning wood arch and tables to provide a cozy and fruitful atmosphere. The combination of cotton paper, ink illustrations, and just a hint of gold makes this rustic invitation suite a fantastic choice to set the tone for an organic autumn outdoor wedding. The bright and playful sunflowers can bring joy, and ease the atmosphere around your wedding. There is something so romantic and wonderful about a wedding designed around sunflowers. We hope these sunflower wedding ideas have really grown on you.
