Bohemian Bride

One of my favorite bridal looks right now is pairing a short wedding dress with a long veil.  This look pictured here is very Gatsby inspired with the lace embellishments in the dress and the 1920s style Juliet Cap Bridal Veil.  It's so confident and high fashion.  This shoot is featuring our Bohemian Juliet Cap Veil.  At Rice Rafferty our goal is to make your wedding dreams come true.  We special in custom designs, so if there's something on our site that we don't have feel free to send us a message.

Me and My Beautiful Bridesmaids

 

The days are getting colder and I'm getting into hibernation mode.  I've been making homemade chicken noodle soups and chocolate chip cookies (my favorite).  I've also been enjoying being inside more and doing more design work.  I've slowly been retouching all of my wedding photographs.  This was taken in Buffalo, NY, on the porch of the Marcy Casino, next to Hoyt Lake.  The birdcage veil was handmade by me and my mom (Rice Rafferty) and we made the headbands for the bridesmaids as gifts.  We also made the flower rhinestone pin on my dress from an antique pin from my grandmother.  I wanted a vintage style wedding with a modern twist.

Custom Feather Peacock Birdcage Veil

 

 We're so excited to share these photos!  Check out our custom birdcage veil on the gorgeous bride who got married in Buffalo, NY at the historic and newly renovated Hotel at the Lafayette.  We made the veil from white feathers, bleached peacock feathers, ivory russian veiling, and a vintage rhinestone pin.  The really fun thing about this veil is it's versatile. You can wear it as a blusher birdcage for the ceremony, then simply take the veil off, wrap the russian netting into a circle (like a nest) and pin it back with bobby pins in your hair as a fascinator.

Isn't she beautiful?!
