When photorapher Stefanie Cepeda sent us this alternative bridal looks shoot, we were really happy to share it with you. Sefanie tells us “I’d grown a bit tired of “bridal” accessories always looking the same and wanted to show that bridal fashion can be whatever you want it to be. Instead of the traditional white flowers, pearls & crystals, I wanted to show accessories that reflect a bride’s own personality!”
Not every bride is a princess, and not every bride is a rocker, there is a style and look for every single bride and what works for one doesn’t always work for the other.
Stefanie tells us more about the shoot “Ayla (a fabulous stylist) and I took one simple dress and accessorized it 4 different ways using the traditional saying “Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue.” We put a little twist on it…“Something bold” is our edgy look for the bride who feels more comfortable stomping around in some great black boots. “Something new” is for the bride who loves the city and wants to have a modern style. “Something borrowed” is for a bride that loves everything vintage. And“something blue” proves that not everything has to be white in your outfit to still capture that traditional, sweet bridal look.”
We absolutely love it and are so happy to share it with you guys!
