Happy Friday, everyone! This dress was so much fun to photograph. As soon as I put it on, I felt like a princess, which gave me the idea for the enchanted woods theme. Obviously, Disney came immediately to mind. The gown is beyond beautiful and fit perfectly. I'm wearing a US 2. I did have to get it hemmed a bit with the length, but that's nothing new. I'm pretty short, haha! I love how the delicate lace almost acts like an airbrush for the skin. The beading is stunning and shines beautifully in the sun light. I could not help but twirl round and round as I was snapping away. Now, there is a crystal belt that accompanies the dress and would go where the white fabric is around my waist. I forgot it for the shoot! It was one of those moments where I was rushing around trying to get everything ready and simply forgot about it. The dress looks amazing with or without the belt though. This gown looks super expensive, but its only $106.19! Whoa, haha, that is a fantastic price point for an evening dress with intricate detailing and gorgeous fabric.

Below is a video I shot for the dress. Now, I do not shoot videos so this was a first for me. I added some music and only had a few songs on my computer to choose from so of course, Sinatra made the cut. Little Ava bug is at the end too! She's such a doll. I love the part where I twirl her around and then she snuggles up to my face. I just about melted on the spot <3

I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend!

Ball Gown

A ball gown is one of those items that always reminds me of a princess and let me tell you, as soon as I put this pink tulle gown on, I felt like one! My love for tulle knows no bounds. I'm wearing a US 2, which fit perfectly, plus there is a bra strap in the back making this dress simple and secure to wear without one. I did have to hem the dress since the length was overwhelming for my 5'2 frame. Short people problems! I love the voluminous flair of the skirt and how its not too puffy, but rather skims the body and falls gracefully. The little flower appliques with rhinestones are the grand finishing touch to make this gown simply sweet.

It should be noted that the dress I chose and the dress that was sent are different making me conclude the company does reproduction dresses from images. Nonetheless, I'm still head over heels enamored with how the gown came out. Make sure to check below for some behind the scenes photographs from the shoot!

Behind The Scenes Photos:

I had an absolute blast shooting these photos! I was lucky enough to have my dad and relative Mark help out. These two were amazing. I used the tripod a bit, my dad would help shoot if it was a difficult spot, and Mark scouted and set up the location for me. We were on the roof top of City Center DC right after sunset. The perfect time to be donning your formal attire.
