I always love to visit New York City! The sights, the sounds, the feeling of being in a city so full of life. I also love the peace of strolling down the winding paths of Central Park and getting lost in one of its many gardens. This bridal inspiration shoot was dreamed up by myself and the lovely event designer, Ambra of Query Events. Our inspiration was this stunning Marchesa gown. As soon as we spotted this gem tucked away in a sea of beautiful lace at Gabriella’s Bridal Boutique, we knew we had to have it! Shooting in Central Park was the perfect location for the elegant yet effortless gown. We paired our first look with a lace trimmed dropped veil by Blanca Veils which added to the allure of the overall concept. Styling our gorgeous model was an absolute breeze using only a Susie Saltzman gold set solitaire ring and her tousled fiery red hair. Query Events also provided a loose, gathered bouquet in elements found at the local floral district. I feel so lucky to have been a part of this beautiful day and all of the talented designers that made it come to life!
