You'll love this sunsoaked, old-world luxury editorial set in a Southern California Villa

Fall in love with this French villa-inspired venue teeming with old-world touches and refined romance. As a couture bridal salon, we get requests from planners all around the world to participate in their styled shoots. We see a lot of ideas, themes and concepts come and go, but no mood board has ever made us stop in our tracks quite like Janna Brown’s design for the Sunstone editorial.

Framed in the southern California sun, crisp florals and minimalist decor in this sweeping villa created the perfect balance of understated beauty and dramatic luxury to set the stage for a truly breathtaking gown.

Theodora by Monique Lhuillier is jaw dropping, to say the least. With poetic, off-the-shoulder sleeves that billow into a dramatic ball gown skirt all topped off with an elevated sweetheart neckline — the gown was made for a day like this.

The floral jacquard print beautifully complemented the hard lines and historic textures of the vineyard's backdrop. Along with a dewy face and natural waves in our model’s hair, our gown created an angelic, exquisite look we know brides will be dreaming of for years to come.

Janna Brown and her team masterfully coupled masculine touches of cigars and rugged ring boxes with charmingly feminine hand-crafted stationery, delicate cursive and a stunning pair of Christian Dior heels.
