Lindsey Speegle and James Aldridge incorporated many elements of their lives into their wedding celebration. To symbolize their engagement which took place in Solvang, CA by the town’s giant windmill, the couple had custom chocolate windmills created as favors. Bright blue and vibrant orange hues in their décor were reminiscent of the sensational California sunset over the Pacific Ocean witnessed by their guests at the reception. The couple strove to create a warm, welcoming ambiance for their beloved friends and family.

Organza rosettes on the bodice of A-line silhouette are only topped by the flowing layers of organza on the skirt. I imagine a bride looking as if she was floating down the aisle in this stunning gown from the Fall 2010 collection of one of our amazingly talented advertisers, Jenny Lee Bridal.
