IN LUST WITH A BLACK WEDDING DRESS | Photos ❧ Jose Villa | Gowns ❧ b. Hughes Bridal

by alison

Remember that black dress I hinted about yesterday? Well, I discovered it on a routine visit to Jose Villa’s blog and it has given new life to the one shoulder gown – a style of which I’ve not always been a fan.

By the way, loving the cowboy boots, girlfriend.

This black beauty from Romona Keveza is going to appear in my dreams, I’m sure of it. But, seeing as I’m 5′4″, hopefully I’ll be about 11 inches taller… otherwise I’m gonna look like a black cumulus cloud. Not so much.

Here are a couple more from the shoot. Just ’cause.

Jose Villa is kind of a big deal. Click here to see one of my favorite real weddings, which he captured. Villa shot the couple as they waded through lavender fields in Montecito, CA, and the results are stunning. Truly, one of the most beautiful weddings I’ve ever had the pleasure of viewing.

(… And, since we’re on the topic of lavender, you MUST check out this wedding stationery suite, which was designed by Ceci New York. Lavender, deep purple and blue have never looked so good together.)
