In many respects, Mexico is an ideal place for a destination wedding, at least for Americans. It’s not as far as so many paradises people dream of for destination weddings, yet it still offers most of the same benefits: beautiful surroundings, lovely resorts, fun activities for guests, and that special indescribable feeling of just being elsewhere, away from day-to-day stresses, to celebrate the big occasion.

After an Eastern European road trip, Croatia became the venue of choice for this real bride's beautiful destination wedding. Edeliz and hubby Nate love to travel and couldn’t think of a better way to honor their relationship than to have their close ones join them in Rovinj, Croatia. After looking through her jaw-dropping photos, I don't think it took too much convincing to get friends and family to travel abroad to witness their marriage!

One of the big reasons why I love having an online business is because of all of the amazing and beautiful brides I can work with all around the world like today's Real Bride, Bekah. Her and husband Ben's special day was held in Palmerston North, New Zealand. Their wedding day feels elegant yet down to earth. How gorgeous is the crisp, classic navy bridal party and the organic, lush florals against the New Zealand landscape?! Effortlessly chic is what comes to mind when scrolling through their stunning photos. Bekah opted for one of our ivory mantilla veils in a floor length and with a drop-veil style blusher. Her styling couldn't have been more spot on. The lace detail from the veil mimics the shape of the beading...
If you’ve had your eye on the Lucia veil, scroll below to see photos of Real Bride Michelle’s beautiful destination wedding in the Dominican Republic!

New Zealand's remarkable views offer plenty of scenic backdrops for your wedding day. That's an unmistakable fact as you can see from Real Bride Harriet's picturesque New Zealand wedding. Lush rolling hills and the water's edge with mountains in the distance; vintage cars and their sweet daughter donning a floral wreath crown, everything about her wedding just felt natural yet perfectly stylized.
