One of my favorite things about attending Bridal Market every year is the opportunity to meet and chat with designers. In the same way that so many memories and personal touches are part of each issue of Southern Weddings, it’s so much fun to learn about the stories and hearts behind each of their new designs. This year, Kristin and I had the pleasure of meeting Joanna of Joanna August, and taking a peek at her Winter/Spring 2016 Ceremony by Joanna August collection. I always recommend her line to brides who are after varied styles for their best gals, and this new collection adds even more lovely options to the mix!
The Winter/Spring 2016 collection includes eight new bodices: four wrap dresses (a Joanna August staple) and four sleek, slip-style dresses, all of which come in a beautiful palette of neutrals and pastels that are easy to mix and match and can work for any season. They also launched the Patty Shawl, a beautiful lace wrap that’s perfect for church ceremonies, or for adding a bit of texture to your bridesmaids’ looks. Plus, it helps keep them cozy and warm during cold weather weddings!
I’d love to know, which of these styles is your favorite? I’d love to take a twirl in that two-toned white and blush strapless dress!
