While we recognize that this non-traditional route is not for everyone, we also fell pretty hard for these textured gowns. The first gown in this set is called Moonshadow by Claire Pettibone and it is one of the most delicate and imaginative wedding gowns I have ever seen and feels like the first page of a hundred beautiful stories. The second is called Pleated Fantasy from BHLDN and has just the right combination of tailored and frothy. I guess the question is: could you see yourself in something like this for your wedding day?

lovely. i adore the shot with the doberman too. such a regal dog.
I’m thinking about a gray cocktail dress for my wedding. I love gray and I’m just a little too boring and practical to spend tons of money on a dress I will wear once!
Beautiful dresses!!
That first dress is incredible!
Though I could never see myself in them for my wedding day, both gowns are incredible. I’m a a big fan of BHLDN’s line, and as gorgeous as the pleated fantasy dress is on models and hangers, I have serious doubts of how flattering it might be on the vast majority of brides. Love the shade and dimension though!
so wonderful!!! both dresses are so individual with all the details…
great shots!
omg, the shot with the doberman is incredible!!
Beautiful dresses and amazing details!
WOW! I loved your post on pink dresses, but these blue ones are unique not only because of their color, but for all of their beautiful details! Great finds.
I agree the first was is so delicate. my mouth hit the floor when the page opened. gorgeous!
wow, the dress at the top is amazing!
This is beyond stunning. Claire Pettibone + BHLDN side-by-side, swoon!
+ Elizabeth Messina! Double swoon.
OH MY! This is divine. I need a bride in this dress-it’s unreal.
I love these photos by the ever-talented Elisabeth and I very much love “feels like the first page of a hundred beautiful stories”. Epic and spot on.
I love both of these dresses so much. If only they were in the budget..
I really love the idea of tinted wedding dresses.
Amazing dresses – so airy and romantic!
Just stunning. Great photographs, too!
