If you’re a New England bride-to-be dreaming of timeless summer wedding inspiration, you’ll love this romantic Connecticut country club wedding. Our stunning bride Gabby, who found her dream gown at The White Dress by the Shore in Clinton, CT, wore the Anne Barge Blue Willow "Tucker" style wedding dress, a perfect blend of modern elegance and classic bridal style.
Light and airy with romantic touches was the inspiration for this summer wedding at a Connecticut country club. For her June wedding day, our TWD bride, Gabby, chose the Tucker wedding gown from the Blue Willow by Anne Barge bridal collection. This eye-catching silk wedding dress has the perfect blend of timeless elegance with chic, contemporary details. A dramatically draped off the shoulders straps offers a flattering neckline for brides. The dropped waistline is very on trend with our current brides and is also universally flattering. Strategic draping and ruching on the bodice of this classic wedding dress adds a bit more visual interest. A leg slit adds for a fun peekaboo shoe moment - you won't want to miss Gabby's elegant floral lace bridal heels! But perhaps our favorite design element of this wedding gown is the attached dramatic overskirt, giving the perfect amount of volume and dress train for a modern princess bridal feel.
Bride Gabby wore a traditional bridal updo hairstyle, adding to the classic romance of this summer wedding day. For the ceremony, Gabby added a long, floral lace trim wedding veil to complete her beautiful wedding day look. As the perfect "something blue" to have by her side on wedding day, Gabby's bridesmaids wore mix and match style bridesmaids dresses in light blue and dusty blue shades, adding to the light and airy summer aesthetic.
