Both brides opted for Alice + Olivia gowns, and we feel the color pairings of white and champagne couldn't be more perfect. The cutout backs gave the soft silhouettes an edgy vibe and the flowy fabrics made for some unbelievable photo ops. | Photography by Amity Mason | Dresses by Alice + Olivia
When the couple's wedding theme is Lord of the Rings, you know the details are going to be epic. Alyssa designed her own dress, which was brought to life by Karen Hendrix Couture, who beautifully crafted her two-piece ivory dress with gold details and a layered skirt made out of different fabrics, creating a delicious texture as she walked down the grassy aisle. “My veil included a gorgeous hood that I wanted resemble an elvish cloak, and it did just that,” she says. | Photography by Laura Dee Photography | Dress by Karen Hendrix Couture
