As summer comes to a close, the excitement for the fabulous fall bridal fashion to come is only just beginning! For those brides planning an autumn wedding, we’ve picked out this upcoming season’s biggest trends from the beautiful collections that have graced the wedding runways. From short dresses to illusion necklines, we can’t wait to share the fresh bridal fashion you’re going to fall for.

Less is More

Short dresses were a big hit in this season’s collections, and we love the youthful energy they bring. Pair any of these dresses with a lace or silk cape for colder fall months.

Pacific Northwest Inspired Vancouver Wedding

Vibrant, lush greenery gave Nadine and Jeff’s Pacific Northwest-inspired Vancouver wedding a naturally rustic feel. The mismatched bridal party fashion as well as the outdoor ceremony echoed the earthy, rainforest atmosphere the couple strove for, and Focus Imaging Photography photographed the beautiful day with talent.

The Couple: Nadine and Jeff

The Wedding: Jericho Park East, Van Deusen Botanical Garden, Vancouver, BC

The Inspiration: We wanted a natural, locally inspired feel for the day. It was a rustic Coastal Pacific Northwest style inspired by the natural flora of the Vancouver area. Ferns, moss, and cedar reflected our rainforest and the vibrant green of our home.
