1. The Bridal Room Look

We begin our celebration of style where the wedding day truly starts – in the bridal room, getting ready for the big day. One of our favorite moments is seeing the mother of the bride and her daughter in matching dressing gowns, sharing those quiet, joyful hours before the ceremony. It’s a beautiful idea for capturing timeless pre-wedding photos, and we especially loved the elegant touch of gold accents on the mother of the bride’s satin gown. The warm tones perfectly complemented the bride’s traditional white satin gown.

Green is often associated with renewal, harmony, and good fortune, making it a meaningful and symbolic choice for such a special occasion.
