Pronovias 2019: ART OF BRIDAL

My friends at Pronovias just sent me images from their Atelier Pronovias 2019 collection and I am blown away. It really makes me wish I could have been there in person — and that I could get married all over again! From the gorgeous detailing and fabrics to the creative lines and accents, I’m so in awe of what they’ve done with this collection.

From Pronovias:
“Inspired by new beginnings, this collection surprises us with luxurious designs that have been artisanally crafted in the Barcelona atelier, where each gown is hand-made and can take anywhere from 100 to 300 hours to create.”

To all of the brides out there, click through the gallery below for a peek at these amazing gowns! There really is something for everyone because Pronovias created such a beautifully diverse collection.

Sneak Peek from Sweet Lady Jane Photography

On August 15, 2015 I became Mrs. Julie Saldarriaga! I can't even begin to describe how incredibly special our wedding day was. It truly was the outward expression of love from each person in the room that made it so unforgettably perfect. We could not have done anything with the support of our family and friends, specifically my parents, Michael and Phyllis and our Maid of Honor, Korinne. So many people helped to make our dream come true, including our fantastic team of vendors.

One sweet lady who we want to give a shout-out to is our photographer, Katie Hammond of Sweet Lady Jane Photography. Her patience, vision, and heart made us feel so at ease. She captured our day so beautifully. Although we haven't seen the full collection of images just yet (trust me, there is a lot for her to get through!), this sneak peek really touched our hearts. We hope you love it, too.

I look forward to sharing more photos, inside details, how-tos, and stories from our Big Day. Here's to the next chapter!

BHLDN: Summer Loves Collection

Have you seen BHLDN's new summer collection? We were blown away! From the gorgeous textures to the blissful color palette, we were in awe. The BHLDN team sent over some beautiful images for me to share with you and I'm so excited to hear your thoughts.

Shot on the sands of Noordhoek Beach in Cape Town, South Africa, the collection breathes romance and exudes a delicate femininity. Here's what the team had to say about their latest collection:

"She moves to the beat of her heart. The summer sun seems to rise only for her, catching the light as she skims the shoreline. She kisses the sea and falls, heart first, into the blue abyss. It’s that indescribable feeling of falling in love, the feeling that inspired BHLDN to bring “Summer Loves” to life with its latest collection of creative imagery."

Tiered layers of rose tulle and glistening sequins highlight the exceptional handwork displayed throughout this collection. We love the natural incorporation of bridal separates and relaxed bridesmaids styles that truly capture the essence of the modern-day bride. Bravo, BHLDN!

Oscar de la Renta Spring 2016

I was honored to be invited to attend the preview of Oscar de la Renta's Spring 2016 bridal collection just a few weeks ago. I was absolutely devastated that I couldn't make it, but was lucky enough to be sent some absolutely incredible photos of the collection by their fabulous team that I can't wait to share with you!

Designer Peter Copping debuted his first bridal collection for Oscar de la Renta making this a very special, and bittersweet, affair. Mr. de la Renta’s innate sense of romance and glamour was preserved within this collection. From luscious tulle to whimsical organza, there were plenty of magical textures waltzing down the runway. Modern silhouettes and shimmering sequins also made an appearance, as did a convertible gown! Elegant bustier tops and organic tiered layers were a highlight of this modern, yet timeless collection.

Copping did a wonderful job of incorporating his own creativity into a renown wedding line that will live forever in the hearts of brides and fashionistas alike. His collection celebrated Oscar’s legacy and allowed it to live on in a fresh, beautiful way.
