Dreamers & Lovers’ Capsule Collection Lumina is Here Just in Time for Summer

April 10, 2018 | Junebug Weddings

We were so excited when Dreamers & Lovers reached out to let us in on what they’ve been working on – a brand new mini capsule collection of gowns for bohemian brides! Lumina is a gorgeous collection of six gowns featuring romantic silk and lace, feminine silhouettes, and the laid-back elegance we always associate with Dreamers & Lovers. Whether your favorite bridal trend this year is long-sleeves, low-backs, or unique lace patterns, there’s a dress in the Lumina collection that will have you positively smitten!

Here’s what Dreamers & Lovers founder and designer Yanique Barnes had to say about the inspiration for the new collection:

We’ve become so busy, with so much hustling and bustling, where even a relaxed boho babe might be forced to tone down her wardrobe desires in order to get the job done. Yet our visions of romance have their roots in visions of a quieter world, where there is nothing but the two of you, nature, the forests, the mountains, and the sea.

Lumina evokes the essence of lives gone by and the fact that romance has been a dream and reality for souls since the beginning of time. Every life on earth has roots in love, the love that continues, grows and endures, seeding into poetry, music and ingenuous perfection.

Lumina‘s laid-back wedding dresses are a symphony of laces and silks, rich and decadent yet ethereal in weight and wearability. These are bohemian wedding dresses through and through. We are sensory beings, inspired by what we see in the mirror, what we feel against our skin and how it makes us move; how our image becomes a conductor of sentiments to the people we interact with.

Lumina won’t let you forget for a minute that you’re doing all this for love, she will be soft, she will be gentle, she will enrich the soul of the world and those who cross our paths with love that feels its own timelessness. Illuminate your love with the spirit of boho, speak in poetry and never forget that real love rules the world.

This Oakleaf Cottage Wedding Perfectly Nails Free-Spirited Sophistication

April 10, 2018 | Junebug Weddings

We’re all in for the woodsy, boho, and sophisticated vibes in Rachel and Josh’s intimate Georgia wedding at Oakleaf Cottage. The couple said, “I do” under a canopy of colorful trees, surrounded by their two adorable children and their closest friends and family. Then they partied the night away in the cozy private barn that was decked out with garlands, wood decor, macrame hangings, and interactive food stations. Rachel looked perfectly boho chic in an off-the-shoulder Daughters of Simone wedding dress and subtle greenery crown while Josh was the picture of sophisticated in a classic suit and bow tie. There were so many incredible moments captured by photographer Amber Phinisee and videographer Tyler Malone that we simply can’t choose a favorite. At first we thought it was the couple’s pre-ceremony portraits near a secluded waterfall, but then our hearts melted when we saw Josh escorting his daughter in a vintage wagon up the aisle! One thing is for sure: this wedding was as heartfelt as it was visually captivating.

Breathtaking Santorini Elopement at Kapari Natural Resort

April 9, 2018 | Junebug Weddings

Janice and William had quite the emotional ceremony for their wedding at Kapari Natural Resort. After a sweet first look, these two exchanged tearful vows with some incredible views that may have you reaching for the tissues. Janice and William chose a minimalist style for their looks and we are loving every bit of it. Janice is rocking a simple A La Robe wedding dress and William is looking dapper in his Suitsupply linen suit. Betty Flowers Santorini knocked it out of the park with Janice’s greenery heavy bouquet. Photographers Days Made of Love effortlessly captured Janice and William’s intimate destination elopement!

Go with your intuition and stay completely true to who you are as a couple. Every detail of our wedding was truly a reflection of us and the ultimate compliment we received from our friends and family is that our wedding was exactly what they envisioned we would do.

A memorable moment from our wedding that I vividly remember and will never forget is seeing the look on Will’s face after our first look. I never felt more beautiful.

Simply, our love. That was our focus in our planning, when Will and I decided together to elope in Santorini. It was a surreal decision, as it was a location we dreamed of visiting, so to be truly present in the moment, it simply had to be just us two. No guests, wedding day checklist, or any other distractions that would overshadow the beauty of this incredible new journey in our lives as one.

Our talented photographers, Fanis and Jenny, were a dream to work with! By pure luck I stumbled on their beautiful site after months of searching for a photographer in Greece and I’m so thankful that they were a part of our day. There was something so calming about both of their demeanors that but us at such ease. I felt so confident in allowing them full creativity to capture our day and the results were just magical. 

We both love the beauty of simplicity, so we wanted to incorporate that to our day, so our wedding style and theme was very similar to our day to day approach and style which is very minimalistic and effortless to say the least. I wanted to look like a slightly dolled up version of daily myself, so I just put a little more TLC to my everyday beauty routine. I wore my hair natural in my signature curls and did my own make up. For my dress, I never seen myself wearing anything to fussy or busy, so a silk slip gown was ideal. I fell in love with an image I seen online of an A la robe slip gown and immediately contacted the designer who put me in touch with Giselle at Spina Bride in NYC. I tried on the dress and from the moment I saw it on – my dress search was done.

There was one particular picture that just took our breath away. We were watching the sunset’s glow hand and hand looking into the Aegean Sea. The image evokes every emotion that we felt that day and it was exactly what I envisioned our day would look like in my dreams.

In addition to the incredible talent of our photographers Fanis and Jenny, our videographer Anthony Venitis of Beyond Vision Wedding Film was an absolute gem as well! He is an amazingly talented videographer whose cinematic modern film style is far advanced from your “typical” wedding videographers. Anthony truly pays attention to the smallest details and was able to capture irreplaceable moments that we totally didn’t realize happened to create a visual depiction that is unique to his couples. We shared the video he created during our reception celebration in NYC and everyone was blown away and was in tears and although they weren’t there with us – watching it made them feel like they were a part of the day. One of the best decision we made in our wedding planning process that we plan on watching every year and can’t wait to share with our future children.
