New Mexico Wedding by La Foto Bella: {sneak peak}

In the last month or so, I have been sharing a lot with you about my desire to inspire local couples to have weddings that incorporate our heritage and beautiful scenery in their weddings (vintage country wedding theme ).

Here is a sneak peak of the beautiful wedding of Shawna and Jeff. This couple is actually from Oregon, but had their wedding on November 28th in Las Cruces, NM. The very smart pair decided to take their pictures the day after the wedding (November 29th) when they where more stress-free from the wedding day hassle, the result was incredible. My talented friend Jesse Ramirez from La Foto Bella photographed these adorable images of Shawna and Jeff around the Las Cruces- Mesilla area. I love the bride’s boots and I find the colors irresistible; I am having an obsession with orange these days.

The complete story and details about this wedding will be available in the January Issue of Belle The Magazine.

Incredible White Bridesmaid Dresses

There is an old tradition that says that no one should wear white to a wedding, but the Bride. What about having your bridesmaids wearing White? Isn’t this interesting? I think is just lovely. This bride, Charlotte from the fabulous sassy blog, Rock My Wedding is genius. Having your bridesmaids wearing short white dresses and incorporate the color on their bouquet looks spectacular! What do you guys think? Would you try it for your wedding?      Edited by Jacqueline Garcia

Yolan Cris 2010 Divas Bridal Collection

If you read this blog before, then you already know how much we like Spanish bridal designers. Today, I present you Yolan Cris, I saw these designs for the first time in the Pasaralea Gaudi 2010 and I instantly recognized their innovation and uniqueness. They don’t provide dresses for the traditional brides, they design for the bride that wants to be different.

Yolan Cris has four magnificent and groundbreaking bridal collections, and one sassy evening gown collection. This time, I present you the super glamorous Yolan Cris 2010 Divas Bridal Collection. It’s inspired by the glamour of the 1930’s. It’s chic, its elegant, it’s fabulous!   Edited by Jacqueline Garcia

Si has leído este blog, sabrás cuanto nos gusta la moda nupcial española. Hoy les presento a Yolan Cris, descubrí sus diseños durante la Pasarela Gaudi 2010 e inmediatamente me di cuenta de su innovación y originalidad. Es obvio que no ofrecen vestidos par alas novias tradicionales, diseñan para aquellas novias que buscan ser diferentes.

Yolan Cris cuenta con 4 magnificas y poco convencionales colecciones para novia y una excepcional colección de vestidos de noche. Esta vez quiero mostrarles la súper glamorosa colección Divas 210 de Yolan Cris.  Sus vestidos están inspirados en el encanto  de los años treintas, ¡son elegantes, refinados y están increíbles!

A Competitive Ballroom Dancers Wedding by Dan Dalstra

Today I introduce a incredibly talented photographer new to El Paso, Dan Dalstra . We spotted this beauty on Dan's blog . He photographed this gorgeous wedding of Cami and Irsan while living in Houston, TX. Cami and Irsan are both competitive ballroom dancers, which I just happen to love ballroom dancing!

I leave you with these beautiful images and a few words from Dan's blog about this wedding.  

Edited by Jacqueline Garcia

"Cami and Irsan  put on one hell of a show for the guests. It was so good, even guests from another reception came over to watch the pair perform a cha cha and even a Pasodoble. A few days after the wedding, they jetted off to Europe to compete in Latin Ballroom. Yes, they are that good."

Vintage Country Engagement Session by New Day Photography

Let me share with you the engagement session of Kathrin and Charlie. These beautiful images were taken by the very talented photographer Cristina Navarro from New Day Photography . I found them at her blog and I couldn't resist to post them. They are a perfect example of the beautiful local scenery this area has to offer (I believe it is Mesilla, New Mexico) to bring the Vintage Country Theme alive. Don't you love them? Edited by Jacqueline Garcia
