Happy Friday everyone! I am so thrilled to share that OC Style Report published a wedding restyle series:
One Wedding Gown Three Ways a few days ago as apart of the publication's recently launched wedding/bridal style section. I wore a stunning
Casablanca Bridal blush pink mermaid gown with an exquisite lace overlay and it was styled by Rachael & Katie three different ways: floral queen, modern mod, and vintage glamour; accessorized by
What a Betty hair pieces and sashes,
Kash Crystals jewelry,
Bleubelle Floral bouquets and head wreaths; with hair and make up by Dee and Assistant Elisa of
Swell Beauty; and photography by Shawna of
Bleudog Fotography at the
Dana Point Yacht Club. Which look is your fave?
FLORAL QUEEN // With the popularity of floral wreath crowns on the rise, we had to give it a go with this look. The dress was kept as is to showcase the enormous roses, ivy leaves, and other delicate foliage that crowned my head of curls. Of course I donned a bouquet just as much of a statement as my floral crown, and showed off sparkle from the earrings and bracelet. I felt like an almost ethereal floral fairy princess in this entire look, definitely a romantic wedding look.

VINTAGE GLAMOUR // There's an almost mysterious essence and poise to this vintage-inspired wedding look featuring a prominent 'roaring 20s'-like finger wave hair style pulled back into a simple pony tail embellished with a statement feather and broach hairpiece. The sparkle was carried throughout the look with drop earrings and a beautifully beaded sash.

MODERN MOD // The iconic 'mod' girl look was given an update and wedding twist with this look. I especially liked the white eyeliner detail and hairstyle that featured a pretty dainty comb. This is a look that I haven't generally gotten to embody or try so it was quite exciting to do so in bridal form.

I wrote about Love & Lace Bridal Salon in Irvine HERE on the Swell Beauty blog, and I had the chance to stop by last Wednesday to take a look at all the beautiful gowns and catch up with owner Ramona. She is the sweetest and I always enjoy stepping into her bridal boutique because all my bridal fantasies come to life in there. She offers a little bit of everything in terms of bridal gown styles, but is most known for the bohemia-chic brands that she carries. If you're in the Orange County area and currently on the hunt for a bridal gown, you will need to stop in:
