Gorgeous in Black – Bridal Gown Monday

Happy Halloween Everyone!! It’s Bridal Gown Monday and Halloween Monday so of course we had to continue with our Fall Wedding Obsession and offer you some bridal gowns perfect for a Halloween wedding!

Black is the new White or at least that’s what it’s trying to be. We have been seeing black becoming more aggressive in bridal gowns lately. All black gowns were once only sought by those seeking a gothic wedding now black bridal gowns are appealing to a larger demographic. Rosa Clara Group consists of amazing designers who know exactly how to use the colour black in gowns. Elegance, innovative, and luxurious are just a few ways to describe their bridal gowns!  Black bridal gowns are now elegant, soft, flowing, and pretty so we want to venture through the wonderful stages of black in gowns, helping you be gorgeous in black with the Rosa Clara Group!

Subtle Black: Adding a ribbon, broach, or accessory in black can add a great, bold accent to any wedding gown. Although only a subtle addition of black it’s a great way to add emphasis to a part of the gown you want noticed.

Partially Black: Infusing the black write into the gown gives more pop to bust and waste lines. It also is a great way to allow intricate details that normally can’t be seen, unless close up, to be seen from a distance which can be just what a bride needs when she walks down the aisle. Slightly more prominent that subtle black but still not overwhelming!

More Black than White: For the daring bride. This look can be bold but also soft as you see by the two gowns below. The first with a very bold bottom and the second having a layer of sheer black over a nude or white offers a softer look. Both still quite elegant and attention grabbing, no bride will go unseen in these gowns.

All Black: Too bold.. too risqué? I think not. Look at this stunning black gown below.. perfect for an elegant wedding. Still holding to a soft look with it’s ruffled and flowing layered style, adding a  little umph with its sweetheart strapless neckline. Although quite bold, when thinking black don’t just think gothic… remember a black-tie affair usually has one dressed in black.. so think elegant, formal, high-end and allow your wedding to match you in this stunning gown!

Although the Rosa Clara Group can certainly do a black gown they also offer absolutely stunning and unique white and nude gowns. Their bridal collection is a must see as they offer rich in elegance gowns for every bride who want to feel luxurious on their wedding day! Below is one of my FAVOURITES form their bridal collection and also perfect for a fall wedding!

Friday’s Happy Listening Post: Sweet Disposition

Australian band The Temper Trap have blown up in the last year to become a favourite inspiring soundtrack for television shows, commercials, and a handful of recent romantic comedies. Commercialism aside, their sound is impactful and beautifully climatic. Here is one of my favourites, and their most popular.

Friday’s Happy Listening Post: With a Girl Like You

Check out this Super 8 style wedding video shot and edited by Sharkpig that features the oldies hit With a Girl Like You. Sharkpig is part of the awesomely rad collective known as The Flash Dance. I’m a huuuuuge fan of this group of artists. They make weddings so much cooler, which is what I’m always trying to do. Below the video I have a more modern version of the same song by TV on the Radio member, David Sitek, for the beautiful compilation album Dark Was The Night. Have a listen and let me know which you prefer.

Happy Listening!

Friday’s Happy Listening: Two Weeks

This song by Grizzly Bear has been released for 2 full years now, but I still never skip it when it comes on my playlist. It’s that amazing.

This wedding video by Pixelhead Studio uses the song beautifully to highlight a couple’s special day in Guam. Enjoy!

By Studio67

We first met with Lauren and Mike just 3 weeks before their wedding day.  If you regularly read our blog posts or have had us capture your wedding, you know how important it is to us that we really get to know our couples.  With the time period being condensed to just one visit we had to ask a lot of questions during the initial consultation and they weren’t really so much about their upcoming wedding as they were about them as people and as a couple.  We heard about Mike’s romantic proposal inside Lauren’s classroom where she teaches elementary school.  We heard all about Mike’s obsession with sports and his beloved Boston Bruins.  Their favourite foods, the music they like and about their connection to their families.  The one thing that stuck out most from our conversation was when Mike told us that many years earlier (long before they started dating) he had seen Lauren out running while he was driving with his mom.  He pointed at her and told his mom that he was going to marry her one day.  Low and behold last Saturday he stayed true to his word.  Sometimes when the heart knows it just knows.  We chose the song Arms by Christina Perri because the resounding message is about feeling at home in someone’s arms.  The footage from their day fit the song perfectly.. we absolutely love their SDE.  Sometimes it amazes me how much you can get to know someone in just a few hours.  It really speaks volumes about this couple and their love for each other.

As always it was a pleasure working with Bryan Caporicci.  Angelica from Simply Beautiful Decor had everything at the reception looking amazing!
