DESTINATIONS

Your wedding destination could be as close as the park down the street or half way across the world. Wherever you pick for your backdrop, finding the gown to compliment is part of the fun. Our team of photography and beauty profs set out to find a locale conducive to handling several destination ideas: An Italianate villa with a country meadow and the area surrounding it full of wooded pathways. St. Vincent's School in San Rafael, California has it all. In the header photos a silk chiffon and Chantilly lace dress with a full skirt is the perfect match for a villa by the sea. Below: a fitted silk taffeta sheath and organza train pair up for a country-inspired wedding . . .
