Hello Gorgeous!
It’s time for another round of stylist picks and the setting for this week’s gowns is a backyard soiree.
Varying from rustic farm-to-table gatherings to casual family-based barbecue-like parties; a backyard wedding can be a wonderful way to celebrate your special day.
Just because your wedding is not in a mansion and doesn’t include a 7-course meal does not mean you have to sacrifice a beautiful gown. Below are our stylist picks for amazing gowns that will fit perfectly at a backyard wedding.
Ballgown
Halo from Blush by Hayley Paige
The nude lining and soft, flyaway train are whimsical and fresh making Halo perfect for an outdoor reception.
A-Line
“Kim” from Tara Keely

PC: Lindsay Lou With Mocha tinted organza and chunky lace, this A-Line beauty has a breezy quality that is highly desired among many backyard wedding brides.
Column
Idella from Kelly by Kelly Faetanini
PC: KC Photography Utah Idella is made of Chantilly lace with a beaded bodice and sheer back. The texture and low key sophistication makes the gown girly enough to feel bridal but earthy enough to fit well in the outdoors.
Fit to Flare
“Rosalind” from Ella Rosa
Carefully placed lace appliques on the straps and bodice make this gown feel very organic while the lace silhouette is easy to manage and textured to fit well in an outdoor setting.
Trumpet / Mermaid
“Maeve” from Mikaella Bridal
Wearing a dramatic silhouette in a casual setting is still possible. This trumpet gown of soft tulle with horsehair trim and a sweetheart neckline is sweet and romantic, softening the edge of the fitted cut.
Brides think that they have to eliminate silhouettes or fabrics because of their venue. But from experience I can say that it is more important to buy the dress that you truly want. With a few additions or alterations, dresses can be made to fit your setting. Chances are that your ideal dress and your ideal venue are fairly in sync anyway.
I hope you enjoyed our choices for a backyard wedding.
Until next time!

Halo!
Before I dive in can we all just take a second to admit that Halo is the best name for a gown EVER. Its ridiculously adorable. Okay, thanks.
Halo is the second arrival from Blush by Hayley Paige.
I will admit, I was against ordering this gown at first. I wanted a different one. But now that it is here, I am happily eating crow because it is so painfully perfect. My absolute favorite part is the back. I’m a sucker for a pretty back on a gown. If you think it’s gorgeous in the pictures, you have to see it in person.
The Skinny
Silhouette: Ball Gown
Design: Lace bodice, tiered tulle skirt with horse hair trim
The guipure lace on the bodice is light but a bit chunky which is a nice contrast to the soft tulle skirt.
The skirt is made of several layers of tulle which gives it body without adding weight or bulk making the gown very ethereal and easy to manage.
Neckline: Scalloped v-neck
A beautiful twist on a standard v-neck a scalloped neckline is much more whimsical.
Straps: Spaghetti
Back: Low open back with strap detail
Color: Ivory with nude underlay (also available in solid ivory)
Shine Level: 0
The draw for Halo is the cut and finish of the fabric, not added beading or
shine.
Boho Level: 3
Hayley Paige is known for her exquisite ball gowns. Halo is no exception. It will fit perfectly in many settings both indoor and outdoor. It is very much a warm weather gown but if you love the design, you could customize it by adding sleeves and it would work just as well.
We are so excited to have these Blush by Hayley Paige gowns trickling in! They are simply gorgeous and make beautiful additions to our carefully picked selection of gowns.
Until next time,
Becca
Blush by Hayley Paige Has Arrived!!!
I am very excited to announce that Bitsy Bridal is now carrying Blush by Hayley Paige.
via misshayleypaige Instagram We have been looking forward to this for weeks, pouring over dress pictures and painstakingly picking the gowns we think you will love the most.
The gowns will be coming in one at a time over the next weeks and months so we are introducing them as they arrive. First on the list is this little number: her name is West.
The Skinny:
Silhouette: Fit to Flare
Fabric/Finish: Cashmere lining and Marrakesh beading
Waist: Natural
Neckline: Elongated Sweetheart
Straps: Spaghetti
Back: Low scoop
via jlm_couture Instagram Shine level: 4/5
Boho level: 3/5
How can you not love this? Seriously.
But for real, if you had an answer for that question, just go away… I’ll wait.
via jlm_couture Instagram That’s right, it’s AMAZING. Say it with me now…. Marrakesh Beading……. from top to bottom!
With the stellar fit, low back and the perfect amount of sparkle, I’m not sure how Miss Hayley Paige could have improved upon this design.
via misshayleypaige Instagram West is a phenomenal design. Not just because she is drop-dead gorgeous but because she is such a universal design. She appeals to the “princess” brides who are looking for drama, sparkle, and a little more drama. She also has such strong bohemian elements with the off white coloring and abstract beading that trendy brides are losing it! West is perfect because she walks the line between classic and bold.
via misshayleypaige Instagram As for me, my favorite part of the entire gown is the cut. I love the neckline, where it hits the legs to flare out into a perfectly rounded skirt, and most of all I love that back. I am a sucker for a low-back gown. But for real, who isn’t?
