Flowers in her Hair II
When we discovered one of our very favorite photographers, Jose Villa, was going to be on our side of the continent we couldn’t resist getting together and have some fun. So we called our friends at B. Hughes Bridal Salon, in Nashville, who were unbelievably generous, brought up some flowers, called Jordan, one of our favorite hair and make up artists, and just played!
Photography: Jose Villa
Location: Carnton Plantation
Flowers + Styling: Joy Thigpen
Gowns: Vera Wang at B. Hughes Bridal Salon
Hair + Makeup: Jordan Byers
Thank you again to all the wonderful vendors above who made this shoot possible. And especially to Jose Villa and Joel Serrato for coming out on such a cold day to create with us. It was so wonderful meeting you both and we can’t wait to collaborate again!

I love the black wedding dress especially with her gorgeous red hair! When I eventually get married I’d love to do something that unconventional yet chic.

I had been toying with the idea of a black wedding dress for a while but somehow got distracted by a couple of other ideas.
Now that I see this post, I am completely on track again! Black would suit this Northern European weather perfectly…

The black wedding dress is so stunning I am dying to get a hold of it! Vera Wangs are truly a favorite. The models are equally beautiful too!
Truly Smitten writes
STUNNING! I can’t get over how gorgeous the black dress is!
oh my gosh Emily you look sensational.. and this whole shoot leaves me speechless.
Stephanie writes
I adored the black wedding dress. My wedding dress was red and it was one of the best decisions I’ve made. I love non-white/ivory wedding dresses.
Nicola writes
I’m in LOVE with the black dress. These images are too beautiful for words.
Marilyn writes
Emily, you look georgeous as usual. Beautiful photo shoot.
Eleanor writes
I love both, but how can i find the white one?
emily writes
The white hairpiece was made by just cutting the stems very short and placing them on top of the girls head with bobby pins. We used a mirror and placed them appropriately and just pinned away.
ginnie writes
What dress is the one with the fur coat? I LOVE that. Thanks!
Rose writes
I am still looking all over for that black dress. Is it Vera or Romona? Is it available anywhere else in the world besides B. Hughes Bridal?? Please help, my wedding’s in three months!
joy thigpen writes
ok, the black dress is Romona…it comes in white too so try looking for the shape in white and just know its available in black, too. the one with the fur is Vera. and Rose, I know B. Hughes already helped a girl from England get her gown…call them! They’re awesome. I’m sure they can help you, too!
