Even though I’m writing this while six inches of snow litter the ground near the Wedding Shoppe in St. Paul, MN, I can’t help but let my mind escape to dreams of a rose garden wedding. From the sweet details on the perfect rustic garden wedding dress to finding bridesmaid dresses for outdoor wedding festivities, I can just smell the flowers and spring breezes now.

Say yes to lace for your rustic garden wedding dress.

Can’t you just picture it: green grass, flowering bushes, gentle breezes, fresh flowers, and you walking down the aisle in an exceptionally designed lace bridal gown that makes your groom gasp at the sight of you. Lace gowns are great no matter what season your wedding is in. They blend expertly with the warm and deep tones of a fall or winter wedding, and they add gentle grace to the bright and light feel of spring or summer nuptials. Find a lovely lace gown that's the perfect fit for your big day!>>

Angelina Faccenda: one of the Wedding Shoppe’s favorite designers.

There are a lot of designers who make gorgeous bridal gowns here at the Shoppe. If you asked all of our Personal Shoppers to share their favorites, you would find that not many are the same. We take great pride in being able to offer you an extensive selection of the best gowns on the market. If I was planning an outdoor wedding, the first dress I would try on is Angelina Faccenda 1257. The intoxicating flowering lace overlay has me smitten beyond words. The drop v-back would be perfect for those hot summer afternoons, too!

Let’s not forget gorgeous bridesmaid dresses for outdoor wedding ceremonies!

As you’re searching for bridal party dresses for your outdoor wedding, I would like to offer one word of advice: chiffon. Your ‘maids will appreciate your choice of a lightweight material for their frocks, and you’ll love how great they look. Whether you want short, knee length, or full length chiffon frocks, you’ll be able to find options to suit every ‘maid’s style and price point at the Shoppe. Personally, I am in love with this green Jim Hjelm number!
