River Valley + Stella Gown

Moody and romantic is the whole entire vibe of this styled shoot and we are here for it! Featuring our Stella Alpina gown, this shoot was all about rich colors and delectable treats. We are a sucker for a cream city brick venue and the River Valley Historic Venue provided the perfect backdrop. We could go on and on, but these gorgeous photos by Stephanie Koppa Photography speak for themselves.

Bridal Portraits + Belmont and Dicentra Gowns

Ok so let’s talk community over competition! This is a phrase thrown around often these days and one we really take really seriously. We love supporting other small local businesses and working to promote one another. & of course, we adore working with other extremely talented Wisconsin wedding vendors and believe some absolute magic happens when we work together. Some of our all time favorite images come from creative collaborations like this one.

For this styled shoot, we teamed up with several friendors to create some stunning bridal portraits. Milwaukee Flower Company’s owner, Sally, had a vision for this shoot and really ran with it. Her elaborate flower wall was absolutely breathtaking and felt so lucky to have our gowns photographed in front of it. Make sure you check out all the talented vendors involved and enjoy!

The Astor Hotel + RSVP Gown

We were thrilled to have found such an amazing group of women to create this styled shoot with and cannot get over these stunning images!!! Our vision was simple: focus on the connection between the couple and let this historic venue space speak for itself without all the extra frills and fuss. Nina (RSVP Glam) and Melissa (Melissa Waulters Artistry) worked together to create our models’ natural and elegant bridal looks. While the models were in hair and makeup, Kari (The Astor) gave us a tour of this incredible building and helped us scope out the best spots for portraits. We could not have asked for a better real life couple to work with than Kenna + Emily. These two were the absolute sweetest and made it so easy for Gina (GE Creative) to capture their natural chemistry without feeling forced or posed. Everything came together just as we had imagined and we are obsessed with the results!

The number of people who stopped by to check out our little shop and send well wishes absolutely blew us away. Speechless is the best word to use.

We are so incredibly grateful to have been so warmly welcomed into the Historic Walker’s Point neighborhood and have the opportunity to bring something new to Milwaukee’s wedding industry. An extra special thank you goes out to all of the talented vendors who contributed in making the night a huge success! We couldn’t have done it without you!
