Gown Series : Southern Belle

Though I’m somewhat grown up, I still like to play dress up. This time we turned the already beautiful Nicole into a lovely, southern belle. Of course I couldn’t have done any of this with out my trustee right-hand woman, Steph. It was quite the fun shoot, filled with good laughs, creepy voices, and a scare of being stranded. Good times.
























* Now to meet the hatter behind the madness, Steph. She is wicked good at what she does and oh so fun to hang with.




She even watches for cars so I don’t get hit while in the middle of the road. What a pal.

You are SO creative! The outfit combination is original and fun! I also love your location! I grew up two houses down from there and used to visit the horses and watch them ride. It’s a beautiful location! Way to be!

I love the souther bell/ranch idea! What a beautiful ranch and setting!!! The contrast of the cowgirl shirt and wedding dress is fun!!!! I could totally see tons of young cute southern bells copying this style. It’s really cute! Great job girls! Beautiful pics Ciara! Hair and makeup is awesome! I love it all!

[...] I don’t think I would call myself a “hipster” but I am definitely a plaid lover! In the fall and winter months, I have been known to rock a plaid button down quite often. I love plaid!
