The final look from Occasion Magazine’s Colors of Summer was of course my absolute favorite, current color crush…gold.  And gold this Sarah Seven dress was.  With its ruffled sweetheart neck and layers of lace this gown was one you could easily put a bohemian spin on it like you see above, or dress completely up for a truly black tie affair.  It was to say the least, the perfect ending to one of my most memorable, and dare I say, favorite shoots I’ve styled to date.  One I couldn’t have pulled off without the amazing creative team of Rustic White, Munn Brothers Films, Lindsay Coletta Designs, and Jennifer C. Nieman.  I am truly honored to work amongst such talent on a regular basis.  So my Loves, that’s it.  The magazine is on the shelves and if you haven’t gotten it already, well what are you waiting for?!  truly, MKR

If you have to have something blue for your big day why shouldn’t it be the dress?  While subtle, blue bridal gowns can achieve a completely classic yet modern look for the bride. Look four from Occasions Magazine’s Colors of Summer shoot showcased a stunning lace and light blue Lee-Ann Belter gown completed with a show-stopping big white bow.  The layers of lace were accented by a vintage pearl blusher, two pearl necklaces hooked together to drape down Molly’s back, and a pair of sassy silver shoes.  truly, MKR

Look three from Occasion Magazine’s Colors of Summer was probably the most classically “bridal” with a gorgeous embellished champagne gown from Liancarlo.  The soft tones and layer upon layer of delicate champagne tulle only needed easy makeup and messy hair from Jennifer C. Nieman, barley there accessories, and bold purple florals from  Lindsay Coletta Designs to create a dream like, or almost floating feeling captured perfectly by Rustic White.   truly, MKR
