Drenched in the Summer Sun: Dreamy Lace + Floral-Filled Bridal Inspiration

Dreamy Summer Lace Dress Inspiration

The last notes of summer are some of the dreamiest ones… The days that seem endless, as the sun beats down, and the air is warm and humid when night finally rolls in. The days where you could frolic through fields, or roam the sweet-filled paths at the summer fair. The ones that feel like a daydream that you never want to wake up from. Well, today’s editorial, featuring Minneapolis blogger, Tamara of Champagne and Macaroons, captures just that feeling!

Tamara shares A dreamy and hydrangea bloom-filled photo session inside the manicured gardens of the Landscape Arboretum is the perfect inspiration for any bride-to-be. When this dress arrived, I knew it was special and my dear friend and photographer, Russell Heeter, captured everything I love about it: the movement, the lace, the fit.

Let’s frolic through the fields, shall we?
