With summer on the horizon, my thoughts quickly turn to the sea. Every time I see the ocean, a sense of calm returns. Listening to the rhythm of the waves, watching the sun shimmer on the surface, and feeling that sense of how small we really are, puts everything in perspective. Read on for this dream reverie styled by Aloha Collective with our Arabella gown and Boho veil photographed by Bre Jane Photo featured on Bajan Wed, and take a little virtual breath... When you think of a beach wedding, you might not expect florals in this color palette, but how stunning do these shades of marigold and rust look as they contrast with our bride's ivory dress and that blue Maui ocean? This gorgeous bouquet by Waika Pu Collective reminds me of the colors of the sunset! Maybe that's why it's such a stunning combination! When we take our cues from nature, you just can't go wrong, and choosing elements that are a bit unexpected can really make your wedding details unforgettably beautiful.
The Arabella gown, with her elegant mermaid crepe silhouette, is right at home on this Maui beach, and a perfect choice for a destination wedding. A touch of cotton lace in the softly structured bodice adds an organic, understated luxury for just the right touch of bohemian effortlessness mixed with bridal romance. Paired with our Boho embroidered tulle veil, our bride is every bit the vision of a siren stepping out of the sea ready to rule the land...or at least her wedding day!
When choosing your gown, the location and venue, along with the mood you're going for, really do come into play. A soft mermaid silhouette is a natural for a beach wedding, and happens to be a very flattering shape to show off your curves. Made in soft crepe, the Arabella gown doesn't feel stiff or restrictive, just effortlessly beautiful which is definitely the feeling you want at a beach wedding. Looking at this editorial, makes me want to plan a beach day, how about you? At the very least, happy day dreams...
