sigh… those shoes! and the custom printed handkerchief? LOVE
what gorgeous accents of colour used throughout. LOVE her dress.
oh that dress is stunning…not to mention the bride herself. really lovely wedding.
On second thought… Maybe the bride and groom both could just zip up to Seattle and model in an upcoming photoshoot. Hm??
Such a gorgeous, romantic wedding! A beautiful couple, adore the bride’s dress, shoes, hair and makeup!
GORGEOUS! I love everything about this wedding photography + all the special details.
Where did those lanterns come from? They are amazing!
I agree – neeeeeed to know where the lanterns are from :)
Oh I absolutely love how sweet and beautiful this wedding is! The bride and groom wear love well :) Thanks for sharing!
Such a gorgeous wedding! I wonder where they got the lanterns/ornaments hanging from the trees. They are my favorite part!!
Her dress is INCREDIBLE. Do you know the design name?
Wow, what a gorgeous wedding. Location, bride and bride’s attire are all fantastic.
The lanterns are so chic! Any clue where I could find those?
I agree on the dress! Would love to know the name.
Gorgeous locations require minimal decorating. I love it!
That dress is INSANE! So unbelievably elegant and glamorous!
Her dress is stunning!! And the lanterns hanging from the trees… so lovely!
amazing location!
gosh..her gown is so beautiful.
Wowzer, that dress is something else. What a handsome couple and a beautiful wedding.
Ohhh you are all so kind. The lanterns are from Hoi An (Vietnam) but I’m sure they are very findable in any chinatown or online (search for ‘vietnamese lanterns’). I don’t know if the dress has a name, but it’s by Reem Acra from her 2008 collection (not bridal…eveningwear)
McKenzie, you don’t have to twist my arm to play dress up :)

(the bride)
That dress… and those decorations hanging from the trees… not to mention the sunshine. It’s all so beautiful!
I think this has to be the most beautiful wedding I have ever seen in my life! What stunning photographs.
Wow what a stunning setting for a wedding… love those lanterns and the dress is dreamy!
I love the way she styled her hair. So beautiful!
Beautiful photography! I love her hair!. Great job Denise on the flowers.
This Reem Acra is one of my all time favorite wedding gowns. I’m so happy to see it in photos on a real bride. Simply lovely.
GORGEOUS WEDDING! Great job on the photos too.
I want that dress! And Big Sur, here we come! Love this wedding.
I MUST know where those shoes are from! They are perfect for my June wedding…I love love love them! It’s all so stunning :)What a beautiful bride!
Katie the shoes are manolo blahnik (d’orsay)…texture is a sort of a nubbly raw silk. super comfy, as these things go….
I was trying to hunt down that dress ever since I saw it on a Gossip Girl episode! It was my dream dress, but alas, I could not find it anywhere. Happy to see it on such a beautiful bride :)
I did find a dreamy Claire Pettibone as a replacement for my June wedding.
OMG that ceremony location is killer! So stunning
What a gorgeous and sweet wedding!!
xo
Beautiful wedding! What color are the umbrellas in the ceremony photos?
The wedding gown is so stunning and soft…absolutely perfect for an outdoor ceremony! Also, the color palette for the flowers is so rich! Thanks for sharing. :)
Do you have any info about the groom’s suit?
Wow! Both the bride and the dress are absolutely gorgeous :) Where did you buy this dress from? I’ve been searching on the net on where to buy this dress, but I can’t find anything :(
What a gorgeous couple! The bride is just stunning! I love her dress, especially the way the skirt drapes so elegantly. Love the bonfire on the lawn at the reception too!
This is a stunner. I love the colors and choices for her bouquet!
we are absolutely in love with this wedding! the location is beyond beautiful – which of course matches the brides amazing dress and the decor!
love,

where were the hankies printed? these are lovely ones the only ones i can find are quite tacky!
I have also been searching for this gown – it is incredible! Can you please let me know where you purchased it.
Hi Emily,
Any chance you’d be open to selling your dress? It’s so stunning and hard to find online. Thought I’d give asking a shot!
I too have been searching for that gorgeous dress.. can you blame me? i’ll be keeping an eye on the comments for any info.
I just LOVE this dress and the pink shoes are fabulous! I had one of my brides wear the same shoes in gold…always one of my favorites!

I’d also love to know where I can get my hands on this dress. It’s been my dream dress for quite some time. Beautiful wedding!
Dear all, your comments are so kind. For the vendor questions many of the details (with links) can be found here:
http://pacificweddings.com/destinationweddingblog/real_weddings/allyson-magda-a-big-sur-wedding
the dress was something of a serendipity. I’m afraid the shop I found it at has no more (it was purchased in February 2010 and even then I was surprised to find it, since it’s from Acra’s 2008 show)…..perhaps an online wedding dress resale shop? ebay?? fingers tightly crossed.
I saw this wedding in the last issue of Pacific Weddings Magazine. It’s beautiful!
Would you be interested in selling your gown?!
Hi Ladies,
I was searching through used wedding gowns today and see that the same dress shown here is for sale! http://www.oncewed.com/45672/used-wedding-dresses/size-8/olivia-wilde/
Thought someone might enjoy that if they have been searching for it.
Her flowers are gorgeous!
Such a stunning wedding. Love the décor detail on the trees.
Here is another great idea to decorate for an outside wedding:

Emily, was your dress ivory or silver?
