Photography: Camilla Simonson Here are some of the official wedding photos. We first toyed with the idea of attaching tulle layers directly the dress, but came to the conclusion that it would be easier with a separate skirt. The tulle…
I am so fricking proud, she looked absolutely fantastic in the dress. Plus she had such savvy styling which totally elevated the outfit. (and yes she arrived in the back of a truck, and the groom was the driver!)
