The Secret Garden

Published in California Wedding Day, this dreamy editorial at the El Encanto, a Belmond Hotel in Santa Barbara, features two nordeen looks. The first being the Elowen Overlay delicately worn over the romantic Lyra Gown. the minimal, sophisticated two piece ensemble that is the Faven Top and Maeve Skirt made up the second look. Surrounded by a whimsical secret garden, these ethereal styles brought to life what could have only been a real life fairytale.

The bride dons two different looks by nordeen: the first is a romantic, long-sleeved lace gown, and the second is a sophisticated two-piece ensemble.

Influenced by the spanish heritage of Santa Barbara, this wedding editorial brings a modern take to old world romance. Earthy tones and organic elements complemented the whimsical garden feel of the lily pond.
