The Couple: <\/b>Stephanie and Ajay<\/p>\n

The Wedding: <\/b>6.29.2013 – Park Cities Baptist Church<\/a>, Dallas, Texas<\/p>\n

$\"floral$ <\/p>\n

The Vision: <\/b>I always wanted an intimate garden wedding, but when I fell in love with my Indian husband, I quickly learned a wedding that small would never be an option! I had to find a balance between my west coast earthy\/hippie desires and his extravagant culture and love of glamour. I took inspiration from the Crillon Ball in Paris, Jane Austen stories, Grace Kelly, and a little mix between Kate Middleton and Kate Moss’s weddings. I wanted a lovely, peaceful, romantic atmosphere.<\/i><\/p>\n

The Style: <\/b>I have never seen another flower crown paired with an updo, and I think that is what makes it an interesting take on the trend. I took inspiration from Kate Moss’s wedding flowers, Lana Del Rey, and of course Pinterest. I put my trust in my florist that she would make something magical, dreamy and light that could also go along with the glamorous aspects of the wedding.<\/i><\/p>\n

<\/i>The most important aspects of my bridal style were fit, comfort, and timeless grace. I didn’t want a look that would overwhelm me, or draw attention from my natural bridal beauty. I chose a natural waistline to enhance my hourglass figure and the full skirt for ease of movement… and who doesn’t love a floaty fabric that blows in the breeze? My mother and I are tall women, so since she wore ballet shoes on her wedding day, I wore my own version – sheer Zara ballet flats that had subtle sparkle and make me think of glass slippers.<\/i><\/p>\n

The Dress: <\/b>Before shopping I did lots of research to narrow down the look I wanted. When the time came to find a dress, I flew home to Portland for Christmas and used that opportunity to shop with my mother and sisters. We went to a lovely boutique called Charlotte’s Weddings & More<\/a> and found the dress quite quickly. <\/i>I knew I loved a Reem Acra<\/a> dress from several seasons ago, but couldn’t find anything like it, so I found a similar gown by Justin Alexander<\/a> and had a tailor add silk chiffon sleeves.<\/i><\/p>\n

The Accessories: <\/b>I found my wedding jewelry in a Bloomingdale’s<\/a> in Los Angeles with one of my bridesmaids, I didn’t want the jewelry to stand out, only to add a bit of polish. The earrings were lightweight and flattering with an updo, the tiny bracelet was true to my personal style of dainty jewelry. I bought them quite quickly and easily with the advice of my trusted friend! <\/i>On the wedding day, for my “something old” and “something borrowed” my sister Kaitlynn offered me a little silver ring of hers, and my “something blue” was a handkerchief of my mother’s, tucked into my bouquet.<\/i><\/p>\n

The Advice: <\/b>Be brave enough to stay true to yourself, choose a cut and fabric that flatters your figure, and feel free to adjust your dress if you can’t swing a designer gown!<\/i><\/p>\n
