I have had so many emails about the Stephanie James' dresses that I posted about a few days back...seems like you guys love them as much as I do! So, when Ashley, one of our devoted readers, sent me pics from her recent wedding wearing a Stephanie James creation...I just had to share!

From Ashley...

We got married on May 17, 2008 in Rancho Santa Fe, California (outside of San Diego). I grew up in the area and although I have been living in Los Angeles for 10 years, I wanted to return to have our wedding at my favorite place in the world. The home of Eleanor “Bita” Dean, who is like my grandmother and was my nanny growing up. Her home was built in the 1930’s and is so elegant and filled with vintage class and flare. I spent much of my childhood at her home, from the age of 3 months! It was absolutely perfect for us and had the perfect mix of sentimentality, class and sass, just our style!

My dress was a Stephanie James which I had her put black polka dot tulle underneath because our wedding colors were black and white (and I love polka dots!), and our wedding had a clear vintage rockabilly theme throughout.

We were on a budget for the entire event, so I found a photographer through a friend of mine that was only $900! AMAZING! Her name is Pamela Marie and she has since relocated to Pennsylvania, but she was incredible to work with and I thought the photos were unbelievable. I did the invitations myself, and my mother did the flowers.

We wanted to infuse our personalities into the day as much as possible...so, I walked down the aisle to Jonny Cash! It’s a Scandinavian wedding tradition for a newly married couple to saw a log together so we did just that! I wanted our flower girls to have dresses that were fun and could be worn again, just like the bridesmaids. Their mother picked these out and they were perfect! And, I asked all my bridemaids to pick dresses that they loved and felt good in, as well as could be worn again.

More to come!!
