A lot of brides turn to Google when searching for the perfect wedding venue but how many get past the first page? Real Bride Jenna's quest for a wedding venue in Miami that had an old world, Italian feel, lead her through an extensive Google search. The venue of choice was not one that popped up on the first page. Instead, it was a hidden gem tucked back deep onto the 10th page. As you can tell by the photos, the lengthly search was well worth it! If you're getting married in Miami, you'll definitely want to keep scrolling for more photos and to find out which venue she chose! How They Met: Matt and I met our sophomore year of college at the University of...
Many modern brides are choosing not to wear a bridal veil. Opting out can definitely offer a very sleek, chic look but it also means they will miss out on a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! It isn't until they try one on at the bridal store (or are heavily persuaded by mom) that they have a change of heart. This is a story I love hearing! Perhaps it's because wearing a bridal veil only happens once and so the bride-to-be doesn't truly feels like a bride until she is wearing the most iconic bridal accessory. I'm so glad Real Bride Amalia was able to find the perfect lace bridal veil and decided to forgo her original no-veil bridal look. Scroll below to read about her Philadelphia City Hall Wedding and to see the gorgeous pictures! We...
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. But of course, Mexico is a pretty big place, so if the idea appeals you still need to give some thought to a specific destination! Some of these are definitely worth considering. 1. Tulum Tulum is one of the nicer places in Mexico to visit on the Caribbean side. This is largely because it combines...
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! Below Edeliz describes her wedding and why she chose The Mantilla Company. Why get married in Croatia: We went on an Eastern European road trip 4 years ago with Nate's family. I really wanted to see multiple places in Croatia, but the only stop we were able to make in Croatia was Rovinj. We all fell in love...
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...
