Today we are bringing you a little sneak peak of the new Spring 2015 Bridal Collection from designer Sareh Nouri. We’ve been given exclusive access to these images from her enchanting new collection which made its debut during the NYC Bridal Fashion Week this month, and we simply had to share them with you!
We’ll be sharing more from her exquisite collection later this week where we will be revealing our favorite wedding dress collections and new trends straight from the runway at Bridal Fashion Week – so don’t miss out! Keep an eye on our Wedding Dress Gallery too, which we will be updating as we go.
Sareh Nouri’s collection, inspired by florals and nature’s most beautiful textures, was complete with a harmonious blend of luxurious fabrics and laces from around the world. Continuing her work with the world renowned Sophie Hallette lace house in Caudry, France, Sareh was able to create a work of art with each gown. The collection can be described as light and intricately detailed;with lavish fabrics such as satin organza, that flows like water. Impeccably constructed with the utmost attention to fit and form, this Spring 2015 collection exemplifies the craftsmanship of the made in the USA, Sareh Nouri line.
A color palette of plum and silver with touches of blush provides a sophisticated backdrop for this vintage glam inspiration photo shoot from Polished Event Design and Coordination and Heather Elizabeth Photography. Elegant and chic, we just love everything about it! Enjoy!
The Design: When the idea for this shoot initiated there was one word in mind: glam. We wanted to capture the elegance of an era dominated by glitz and glamour. The location for the shoot was Gibson House Yolo County Historical Museum – what better place to capture old glamour than a historical mansion? The color scheme came together around deep purple. The deep purple was accented by blush and silver tones. The elegant table design could not have been possible without the beautiful rentals from Dogwood Party Rentals. Their extensive silver collection allowed the vision to become a reality. Silver candlesticks and chargers were accented by crystal glassware. The mahogany harp back chairs finished off the vintage look. For the floral design, deep purple flowers were accented by lots of white and greenery. The flowers featured a free flowing shape to accent the formality of the tablescape. Angels Petals conveyed these design ideas with lilac, lithianthus, ranunculus, tulips and amaranthus.
The Details: The era could not have been portrayed properly without some form of cocktails. The set up featured some delicious liqueurs that go hand-in-hand with champagne. Throw in the coup champagne glasses and it was set. Lastly, the cake from Cake Couture made its statement with a black bottom layer to add just enough depth and decorative rhinestones to add just enough glam.
The Look: The dress was probably the easiest decision of the whole shoot. Upon hearing the vision for the shoot, La Soie Bridal in Sacramento, provided this stunning dress. The intricate beading and lace made it the perfect depiction of glam. With the help of Haute Bride, we finished off the look with a striking headband, pearl bracelet and glamorous earrings.
The Photography: All of these details and designs would have gone unappreciated without the fabulous work of the photographer, Heather Elizabeth Photography. Her depiction of each detail was perfect. As each photo comes together, it displays the story we wanted to tell – vintage glam.
You might be a bit surprised to see a New Year’s Eve wedding in April but since many of you are likely planning for a wedding that is months away (maybe even a cozy winter celebration?), I thought this would be perfect inspiration! Khaki and Chris celebrated their new beginnings with an all out party in elegant black, white and gold. With chevron striped table runners, tinsel and balloons, and the bride in not one, but TWO gorgeous BHLDN dresses, this wedding is full of sparkle! Thanks to Asya Photography, who photographed the day with glamour and style.
The Couple: Khaki and Chris
The Wedding: 12.31.13 – Hotel Monaco, Philadelphia, PA
The Goals: I feel lucky enough to work for such an amazing brand as BHLDN because it taught me that your wedding day should really be reflective of you and your fiancé and that it is a day you can make your own to celebrate and cherish forever. I always dreamed of getting married on New Year’s Eve… a winter wedding on a night fit for celebration. I knew the colors would always be black and white with pops of gold and silver, perfectly festive for the holiday… A bit of preppy and chic with a mix of stripes and chevrons, vintage ribbons I’ve found along my travels, and playful tinsel straws and party horns. We loved planning our big day and all the details. We had the best wedding planner, Sara from Confetti and Company, to pull it all together too! We chose Old City as our venue spot because Chris really loves the historical part of the city. We wanted an older, charming church with an intimate feel and decided on Old Saint Joe’s on Willings Alley. Our reception was at the Hotel Monaco, which was a great compromise for us. A modern, boutique hotel (for me) in the heart of Old City right next to the Liberty Bell (for him). Wedding bells and liberty bells exactly! We wanted to have fun surprises for our guests: a balloon drop at midnight as well as a room setup next to the reception that had a photo booth with a balloon backdrop and wedding Mad-Libs, our version of a guest book, which was one of the funniest and best parts of our wedding.
The Look: Both of my dresses came from BHLDN. I chose my silk Delphine Manivet halter gown at my home office surrounded by some of my closest work friends and my Dad and two sisters. I loved how the skirt was full, but not princessy and the definition at the waist.. not to mention the bow at the nape of my neck. It was very me. I loved it from the first time I saw it, but when I put it on, I knew it was the one. My second dress was also from BHLDN by Rachel Gilbert and I loved the embellished bodice for New Year’s. There was so much sparkle! The chiffon skirt was so much fun to dance in. The bridesmaid dresses came from BHLDN and were long, black tulle strapless dresses with a sweet grosgrain tie at the waist. The groomsmen and groom were outfitted by Saget’s Tuxedos in Drexel Hill. Chris had two jackets for the occasion and we both changed before cocktail hour! I gifted him vintage gilt golden retriever cufflinks to wear since our puppy was at home on our big day! I also had custom Something Bleu shoes that had removable bows to accent my dress and pops of sparkle!
The Moments: From the groom – Waiting for my bride for an hour at the church while she was sewn into her gown. I couldn’t keep it together saying the vows and she helped me through it.
From the bride – Being surrounded by all my bridesmaids and family getting ready and reading through a letter from Chris before the events started at the hotel. The support and love I felt for us that day will always remain with me. Chris and I were planning on a first look to keep our emotions in check before the walk down the aisle. The dress zipper issue made this a bit problematic but seeing each other as I walked down the aisle was a feeling of happiness and excitement that neither of us will ever forget. And the balloon drop at midnight, surrounded by all of our friends and family, was one of the best moments of the day.
The Advice: From the groom – Take a deep breath and enjoy the planning. Learn how to best communicate.
From the bride – Make sure your big day reflects you and your fiance! From the venue, attire, music, and the all the little details. Don’t get lost in the expectations of a traditional wedding. Things will happen the big day, remain flexible! Or hire Sara and she will make everything perfect.
