Modern Fairytale Featuring Maggie Sottero Designs

Maggie Sottero is a wedding gown designer adored by brides around the world. Known for their beautiful silhouettes that strike the perfect balance of contemporary details with timeless designs, this collection is an absolutely must-see! Say hello to the 2018 Maggie Sottero Emerald Collection.

Featuring an array of romantic dresses, ranging from chic streamlined styles all the way to fairytale ball gowns and classic A-lines — it’s the details that make these forever flattering wedding dresses seriously special. So imagine our excitement when we found out we had the chance to play dress up in this bridal editorial that we created featuring floral design from Stems Atlanta and stunning captures from Lauren Rae Photography.

For our modern fairytale, we chose not one but two gowns from this couture collection. The style known as “Autumn,” instantly caught our eye. Beaded lace motifs cascade over tulle in this fit-and-flare wedding dress, accenting the illusion plunging-sweetheart neckline and illusion scoop back. Plus the fact that this gown is lined with shapewear for a figure-flattering fit? Priceless.

For the second gown, we chose the dress style named “Bernadine.” Beaded lace motifs dance over tulle in this sheath wedding dress, accenting the illusion plunging V-neckline, illusion straps, and illusion back with keyhole.

 

We opted to have our brunette bride wear the detachable tulle train with the Bernadine gown which was accented in lace motifs. We love the drama it adds and we think it’s a really fun way to switch up your look between the ceremony to the reception.







For the decor, Stems Atlanta played up this beautiful white barn wedding venue at The Barn at Tatum Acres with leafy greenery garlands on this cathedral inspired backdrop.

All of our greenery was sourced from our friends over at Fifty Flowers.

Add in a mix of candles in an array of colors and we instantly found ourselves in love with the clean simplicity of it all.The hair and makeup team from B. Young Beauty Studio gave our brides a beautiful nature look using soft peach tones, soft browns, and only a hint of color on the lips. We chose an invitation suite from Minted that mimicked this same leafy greenery design. These foil pressed invitations truly helped set the scene for this minimalistic look.   

From trend-setting silhouettes to embellished illusion backs, plunging necklines and even pockets, there really is a dream dress for every gal no matter what your style might be. Maggie brides will all agree — these wedding gowns are truly something special and the detailing is absolutely exquisite.
