Creating a Modern Love Story for the Romantic Bride

photographed by elizabeth messina

“Starting with an air of romance and adding a dash of whimsy, Ivy & Aster delivers a novel spin on traditional wedding attire.  Delicate silk fabrics are fashioned in modern, refined silhouettes, giving the perfect mix of ethereal and wearable.  The darling is in the details…Ivy & Aster love a chiffon flower, rows of ruffles, a velvety swiss dot, essentially anything that is one part sweet and one part sass.  Accessories borrow from vintage nostalgia, give a nod to current fashion trends, and were designed to help you style out a unique and personalized look for your wedding day.  Most importantly, it is all designed from the heart.”
