BHLDN Fall 2016 Bridal Collection "By Amber Light"

BHLDN Fall 2016 Bridal Collection
"By Amber Light"
Love the Spring 2016 BHLDN lookbook we just posted? We’re not done yet! We have gorgeous imagery from BHLDN’s newly launched Fall bridal collection, and, let’s just say that you are in for a treat. Framed by colored glass panels and a rich autumnal landscape, photographer Boo George laid the perfect gold-tinted canvas for BHLDN’s exquisite new wedding gowns:
“By Amber Light – an October daydream imbued with luxe, floral textures and encrusted beading that ushers in a new wave of refined, bohemian style. Shot amid a meadow of dancing grass at a nature preserve in Pound Ridge, New York by noted photographer Boo George, the glass “chapel” was constructed from re-claimed windows and colored glass – the pièce de résistance in this surreal and dreamlike environment that captures the romantic feel of an intimate autumn wedding. The images celebrate the launch of eight new BHLDN looks that narrate the dreamy, golden environment and the spirit of wanderlust evoked by model Jenna Earle.”

An England Meets Texas-Themed Wedding at The Sam Houston Hotel in Houston, Texas

An England Meets Texas-Themed Wedding at The Sam Houston Hotel in Houston, Texas

Crystal Randgaard (30 and a principal buyer) and Kevin Ayres (31 and a project controls analyst) shared their first date in London on April 23, and have kept a tradition of a date night on the 23rd of each month since. Years later, after a couple of months of delaying their date night, they arranged a special date night stay at a local boutique hotel. When the next morning arrived and Crystal was collecting the last items from their room, Kevin mentioned that there was one thing she left behind. He had waited until the next morning to propose so that they would be engaged on the 23rd! Since the couple met while living in London and moved to Texas three years later, it seemed natural to utilize the rich cultures from both places in an England meets Texas-themed wedding. Rather than going for the traditional red, white and blue that represents both England and Texas, the couple selected a color palette of red with varying shades of gray. “Our favorite memory of the wedding day was how wonderful it was seeing all of our guests from around the world together in one place and to share such a special day with all of them,” says Crystal.

15 Wedding Dresses Perfect for an Elopement

15 Wedding Dresses Perfect for an Elopement

Saying no to the traditional wedding ceremony and wedding dress? Check out our favorite looks for an elopement or destination wedding below.
 
  1. PHOTO BY LEFT: MARIA VALENTINO / MCV PHOTO; CENTER: MARIA VALENTINO / MCV PHOTO
    In the past, elopements conjured images of impulsive romances and couples running off to marry in secret—but that's changed over the years. Whether you're foregoing tradition to save a few bucks or to save yourself the stress of planning a bigger affair, more couples are taking this less formal route to matrimony. But doing away with a lavish ceremony doesn't mean you can't still have the perfect wedding look! Using Fall 2016 Bridal Fashion Week as our inspiration, we picked 15 alternatives to the big white dress, just begging to be worn in a cool courthouse ceremony or destination wedding.
  2. 1. Laser-Cut Floral Wedding Dress

    An intimate daytime wedding calls for easy fabrics and silhouettes, like this Amsale tea-length dress. With its sheer, cutout lace and casual length, we think this pretty frock would make a seamless transition from ceremony to outdoor reception.
  3. 2. Asymmetrical Strapless Wedding Jumpsuit

    A white or ivory jumpsuit can make you feel like an elegant bride without the formalities of an actual wedding dress. Angel Sanchez's strapless jumpsuit is all modern sophistication, with an asymmetrical neckline, structured pleating and laser-cut flower details.
  4. 3. Tea-Length Wedding Ball Gown

    If you aren't having a traditional ceremony but you love the classic look of a ball gown wedding dress, here's the perfect compromise! This Dennis Basso dress has all the volume of a ball gown but its tea-length cut keeps it from feeling too formal.
  5. 4. Slip Wedding Dress With Floral Cape

    Opting out of wearing a full-on wedding gown doesn't mean you can't have that showstopping moment. This Hayley Paige slip wedding dress with floral net cape overlay is totally awe inducing.
  6. 5. Wedding Dress Separates With Faux Fur Jacket

    Houghton lace mini wedding dress overlay with pale yellow mini skirt and faux fur coat

    Ivory and lace may not scream "edgy bride," but this uber-chic Houghton outfit will change your mind. The laser-cut top and mini skirt, paired with a boxy faux fur jacket, give us major rock 'n' roll vibes.
  7. 6. Low-Cut Beaded Wedding Dress

    Inbal Dror asymmetrical strap sheath wedding dress with all over beading

    Your elopement can still have a glamorous, black-tie feel with a sleek and sexy beaded ivory and silver number. With a deep V-neck front and open back, this Inbal Dror wedding dress can always been worn again as an elegant New Year's Eve outfit.
  8. 7. Cashmere Sweater Wedding Dress

    Ivy & Aster cashmere sweater tank wedding dress with beaded net capelet
    This Ivy & Aster cashmere sweater tank dress has us wishing for a winter-white elopement wedding. The ultra-luxe fabric, paired with a delicate beaded caplet, makes for a look that's truly stunning in its simplicity. The best part? You can toss it in your luggage without worrying about crinkling a fussier fabric like chiffon.
  9. 8. Silk Wedding Playsuit

    Tara LaTour spaghetti strap wedding playsuit
    A playsuit may not be your first thought when considering your wedding attire, but it would be right at home at a laid-back beach wedding. Whether you wear it to your causal nuptials or your bachelorette party, you'll probably want to sport Tara LaTour's spaghetti-strap romper again and again.
  10. 9. Wedding Dress With Illusion Neckline

    Liancarlo illusion tank tea length wedding dress with leaf motif
    This tea-length Liancarlo wedding dress mixes subtle details, like laser-cut leaves and an illusion neckline, with a feminine silhouette for a dress that feels classic but low key enough for a courthouse wedding.
  11. 10. Fringe Mini Wedding Dress

    With its fun fringe detailing and shorter cut, this Naeem Khan wedding dress is made for a bride that plans to dance the night away—even if it is at a smaller fete!
  12. 11. Sweater and Skirt Wedding Separates

    As far as wedding separates go, you can't get more sophisticated than a sweater and skirt combo (as proven by the forever-stylish Olivia Palermo at her own wedding). The intricate beading along the shoulder of this Jenny Yoo sweater gives the outfit just the right amount of sparkle.
  13. 12. Cap-Sleeve Sheath Wedding Dress
