Chaviano Couture 2015 Collection, "Amore"

The only thing I love more than a photoshoot is a photoshoot where it is nothing but beautiful girls in gorgeous wedding gowns. Annette Thurmon of Chaviano Couture makes the most dreamy, feminine, fabulous gowns, and I got to play with her new collection a couple of months ago when we were shooting for her 2015 collection, "Amore". I love bridal beauty because it's soft and romantic, so I enjoyed the full day of doing hair and makeup for models that were wearing equally soft and romantic gowns. This latest collection features tons of lace, silk and tulle--all super feminine textures that make any girl feel pretty.

Enjoy thumbing through some of the stunning photos taken by Lauren Kinsey that are featured on Magnolia Rouge and Weddings Unveiled. This was such a fun shoot for me because I got to work with Lauren for the first time, an incredible photographer I had been dying to work with for some time. And also got to finally meet the crazy talented bridal accessory designer, Carlee Sizemore (who did my sweet sister's head piece for her wedding!) as well as Julia of Ink and Honey Calligraphy who has an aaamazing eye and talented hand. My dear friend Krista of Blue Eyed Yonder is responsible for that incredible backdrop--I want the walls of my house to look like that. And then Lindsay Coletta knocked the florals outta the park on this shoot. She is awesome.
