We know our Southern brides (and gals with classic taste all over!) will love this fashion editorial from photographer Lucy Cuneo. We simply cannot get enough of this amazing Monique Lhuillier gown and appliquéd jacket; they are the perfect choices for a bride searching for an updated classic. Pair it with an elegant updo and drop earrings to up the romance factor.

More from the photographer, Lucy Cuneo: 
“A stunning gown from Monique Lhuillier provided the inspiration for this classic yet fun shoot at Charleston’s Middleton Plantation. The full toile skirt is a nod to the tradition and history that abounds in the historic formal gardens; the embroidered lace overlay is a layer of modern fun detailing that mirrors the youthfulness and playful energy of our young couple. In-season azaleas provide the color and ancient live oaks the framing to a shoot that matches the best of today with iconic elements made more beautiful by the passage of time.”
