The couple: Joanna and Vernon

The wedding: 9.17.10 – The Palisades Country Club, Charlotte, NC

What three adjectives that best describe your wedding? Casual, modern-vintage, easy-going.

What inspired your personal wedding style, and how did you incorporate your style and personalities into your big day? I wanted something that felt vintage but also fresh, very easy-going like both of us, and with comfort food. We had a mashed potato martini bar, sliders, mini-blts, mini pizzas, etc…

Looking back, what are the moments, decisions or memories that you love the most about your wedding? I loved seeing my vision come to life, and being surrounded by the people that we love. One of the comments a guest made was that our wedding just seemed like us.

Heidi Elnora 2011 Wedding Dresses

February 15, 2011 | editorial team

Heidi Elnora 2011 wedding dress collection photographed by Leslee Mitchell

Heidi Elnora is a wedding gown designer based out of Alabama, and when I received these images of Heidi’s 2011 collection from photographer Leslee Mitchell, I promptly fell in love with her designs. It’s not just that this photo shoot is so fabulous (though it is! ooh la la, these photos!) it’s that Heidi is following her passion and creating unique, well-made, fashion forward pieces personalized for every bride, and by doing so making her corner of the world a more beautiful and inspirational place. It makes me think, bravo to Heidi and to small business owners everywhere!

The 2011 Heidi Elnora collection was inspired by the French countryside, and each dress is hand-made by artisans in Alabama. Every dress has a first and middle name, in honor of a woman who has personally inspired Heidi – Callie Aldridge, Katie Grace, Bonnie Belle and Zaira Doll are a few of my personal faves! Enjoy these beautiful images, and then take a look at the Heidi Elnora website for more information about where to find her designs.

In honor of Valentine’s Day I simply had to revisit this pink and red wedding inspiration board from back in the early days. This sweet and playful duo is still my absolute favorite color combination, and what could be more fitting for a February 14th post?

Happy Valentine’s Day all! Wishing you lots and lots of love.
