Real Bride: Alaina
"The hardest part about dress shopping was waiting to wear it! I surprised myself for sure - I never would have imagined I'd choose a dress with a deep-v."
I thought I wanted long sleeves and all these other visions I'd seen online...which added confusion. I'm not even sure I pulled Preston into my dressing room. But when I put her on and saw how much I popped, the decision was easy. Read More

Notes On A Wedding
" It may seem the most obvious but standing at the altar with Alex during the ceremony, would be the moment I wish to relive time and time again."
The emotions, feelings, and even fears, of standing in front of everyone was an aspect of the wedding we discussed a lot during planning. Because we kept the guest list small, we were able to have a wedding of quality - one where we connected with everyone and also enjoyed the moments together. We had hoped it would feel less like a show with an audience, and more of an intimate moment surrounded by love.

Notes On A Wedding
" I could relive that walk down the aisle together every single day."
We met at medical school! We first crossed paths during a student mixer the week before our classes started in the fall of 2018. Although I arrived late, he immediately caught my eye and I hurried over to sit beside him. We were both equally captivated by our conversation and for the time we spent chatting, it truly felt as if no one else was in the room. Our love story was truly something magical from the very beginning.

Notes On A Wedding
" The butterfly effect is real, and this time the universe got it exactly right."
"In a city of 8.4 million people, I found my person completely unexpectedly in a crowded West Village bar.
It’s crazy to think that if I had left the house 30 minutes later, or if someone hadn’t spilled that drink on me (for which Mark apologized) or if I had simply stayed in (like I really wanted to),the entire course of my life would have changed."

Notes On A Wedding
" I cried so many happy tears before saying yes."
What started as a chance encounter at 6am, led to a walk down the aisle! In her Demi-Couture custom gown from Ivory & White Bridal Boutique, she married Jacob in November of 2020.
This collection is titled by the universal symbol of Peace, Humanity, and Love, which is exactly what these gowns embody.
Our campaign shoot took place in beautiful Bali. This collection is the perfect combination of sleek, timeless and romantic.
Design Process: Maja
In his recent Maja collection, Antonio features more lace and romance than in any previous season. Here, we dive into the fantasies that play out in his head as he imagines the type of woman each gown embodies.

When did you last have butterflies?
Inspired by flutters in a bride's stomach, Antonio compares the metamorphosis of butterflies to a bride's transformation. Once a single woman, she becomes a wife in an “ephemeral and dramatic celebration” – the wedding.
