landlocked bride™ | midwest + mountain west wedding inspiration

From Meghan at Oodlelolly Events:
Lauren and I met in college in Kansas. We shared late nights in the studio, big pots of mac ‘n cheese, and stories of boys and what we wanted to be someday. So when we were trying to decide the theme for this shoot we knew the prairie of Kansas had a special place in our hearts. It’s where we each fell in love, and out of love, and back in love. We took that wide open, windswept prairie setting, and added in a dash of glitz and rustic glamour. Couple those design elements with my best friend Lauren and her love, Sid, and we got our La Vie {Prairie} Boheme.

Good friend (and bridesmaid), Kate Fenwick, recently shot an intimate wedding with classic details.  But it wasn’t the details that caught my eye.  It was the bride’s gown.

You see, this gown, in its simplicity, used to belong to the bride’s mother. At one point, it had sleeves and was “totally 80′s” as the bride called it.  Andrea, the bride, had the gown altered to fit her and her style, and it turned out beautifully.  This my friends is a classic case of turning something old into something new (and being eco-friendly).  The difference here? The new is so classic and timeless, you probably would be none the wiser had I not told you it was her mother’s. Le swoon

Something about these are quite magical. And the combo of the man in uniform and the bride’s vintage look that makes these images feel like they are from another time. Le swoon.
