In my quest for the perfect wedding dress, I had the opportunity to spend some time at Melissa Patrick’s adorable bridal boutique, Isabella’s Wedding Co. in Vero Beach, Florida. The shop is warm and inviting and filled with a carefully curated collection of bridal fashion and kitchy decorative accessories. It is located in the hip, trendy downtown section of town, surrounded by great galleries, good food and stylish boutiques.
While chatting about our couples and our wedding adventures, it became clear just how similar our clients are. Whether tying the knot at the shore with the wave and wind in their hair or in the wood with moss at their feet and pine in the air, our couples are more unconventional than most. And our brides tend to gravitate to a less formal and less traditional aesthetic.
Melissa selected a few of her client’s favorite wedding dress silhouettes that are trending this season. It is easy to see how they would be just at home in a barn or at the beach!
Etherial ball gowns take on a lighter approach when made with soft, breezy fabrics and a more relaxed silhouette.
Color is a popular choice this season. Blush gowns are feminine and flattering. But don’t stop there. Take a peak at styles available in the seasons favorite colors of Rose Quartz and Serenty Blue.
Bohemian chic is taking a turn with two piece separates and crop top styles. It’s a look that works as well in the mountains or at the shore. Afraid to commit, try this tempting option for after the ceremony. Then, dance the night away.
Minimalist sheaths offer clean lines and an elegant simplicity that are still on trend. This stunning aesthetic is cool, chic and comfortable.
Lace, lace and more lace…need I say more.
What a treat to trade tales with my southern counterpart. Melissa is smart, charming and talented, a true professional. A great day and I learned something in the process!
