Go bold or go home. We are statement making maximalists for life. Big, bold, striking ✔️✔️✔️
Maximizing your wedding day look is as easy as 1-5 ✨

1. Once you’ve found THE dress don’t skimp on your shoes. They are the second most important element to your look and for your comfort. Consider your wedding day terrain, what heel height makes you most comfortable, and the statement you want your pair to make. 

2. Veil or no veil curate a pretty moment for your pretty little head. Flowers tucked into your hair, bejeweled or beaded pins, clips, or crowns, headbands, bows, and birdcages are all fantastic options if a veil isn’t your vibe. Remember veils can also be worn for a short time and swapped to give you multiple looks. 

3. ACCESSORIZE. Accessories go far beyond jewelry - lose a veil and add a cape or a scarf, add some gloves, grab a boa for the dance floor, a wrap for the weather, snag a cool clutch. 

4. Make a change - or two! Having a ceremony only look with a reception dress change is the perfect way to let your bridal style morph as the party gets started. A great dance dress can allow for a heavier ceremony gown without the worry of how you’ll be able to party in it. And a total end of night wardrobe change for spectacular send off vibes is 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻. 

5. Get the fit right. Well tailored pieces go the distance in photos and comfortability. The right undergarments are key along with the keen eye and skillset of a seasoned seamstress.
