While a wedding is meant to unite two families and celebrate the love between two people there is more to it. Many wedding traditions and plans are focused on bringing the two together—the first dance, the ceremony, the vows, and the cake cutting all focus on the bride and groom. But many aspects of a wedding are focused on the bride.

Planning their perfect Cinderella ball gown or the flowing goddess-like dress happens throughout their life.

Either way, dress after dress has to be tried on, modeled, viewed from all sides, and altered to find a wedding dress that will become the dress.

Or maybe lace isn’t your thing. A chiffon material is light and flowy, perfect for an elegant but casual beach wedding. A beautifully jeweled v-neckline, an empire waist, and an open back design could add a touch of bohemian style to something that is classy and gorgeous.
A beach wedding and a mermaid silhouette may be your ideal combination. Mermaid dresses come in many different styles and can be elegant, sleek, simple, complex, and everything in between.

The Mountain Wedding
