There are some people whose souls just shine through them. This is a strange thing for me to say, as I’m not a “soul-shining” kind of person usually (I’m actually pretty goth), but when I met Erin and her mom to discuss her wedding, I immediately understood what people meant when they said someone lights up a room. Erin and her now-husband are both professional dancers, so a magnetic personality is kind of a job requirement, but Erin’s inner beauty and deep, but non-pushy, religious faith, were a total breath of fresh air. In fact I liked Erin so much that I willingly traveled to New York (not hard, I’m a half-Brooklyn half-LA girl, but still) to do her fittings so that we could get everything right. Her gown was the softest English net and tulle confection with a hand-appliqued Alencon lace bodice (Thank you to Gelmor Lace) and skirt with trailing floral detail, and the resulting wedding at the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum in Chicago was so dreamily romantic that Style Me Pretty snapped up photographer Britta Marie’s photos immediately. Just take one look and you’ll understand why they couldn’t resist. Also - How much do you love that she didn’t have her freckles covered for the wedding? I just adore this girl.
