In a world where the hues of twilight seamlessly blend with the vastness of the desert, Mila and Jaxon’s souls found their rendezvous. Drawn together at an art and music festival, their meeting was as if two wandering stars had collided, creating a brilliant explosion of shared dreams and melodies.

Mila, with her flowing hair and infectious laughter, was an artist who painted dreams and captured stories on canvas. Her spirit, as boundless as the sky, refused to be defined. Jaxon, with his deep-set eyes and fingers that danced on guitar strings, translated the world’s whispers into soul-stirring tunes. Between them, the harmony was palpable, and love, in its purest form, took root.

However, as their love story began to unfurl, the clamor of the world grew louder. Voices filled with traditional doctrines and age-old rituals began to overshadow their dreams. “A grand wedding,” they echoed, “a celebration befitting the union of two souls.”

Yet, how could they cage their love within walls of societal norms? Their bond was as wild and free as the wind sweeping through the Joshua Trees, and as genuine as the constellations above.

One serene evening, under the soft glow of a lantern, Jaxon strummed a tune. A song that voiced their yearning for freedom, their dreams of a love untamed. Beside him, Mila painted, her brush strokes capturing their shared desire to escape, to find a haven where their love could truly breathe.

They made their choice. An elopement. Their union would not be about grand stages or societal seals of approval. It was a sacred promise, one meant for the vast desert and the infinite sky.

For this intimate commitment, Mila chose an ethereal gown named “Heather” by Dreamers & Lovers. The dress, woven with dreams, was a harmonious dance of lace and polka dots. Wearing it, Mila felt like the epitome of wild, authentic beauty, her spirit free.

As the evening cast a golden hue over Joshua Tree, with stars beginning to twinkle and the desert bathed in the soft embrace of twilight, Mila and Jaxon stood hand in hand. The gentle breeze, playing with the fringes of Mila’s dress, whispered tales of timeless romances. And there, amidst the ancient rocks and resilient trees, they exchanged vows. Vows of eternal love, of adventures uncharted, and of finding each other in every lifetime.

The desert around them hummed, celebrating their love story. The serenity was punctuated only by Jaxon’s guitar and the soft rhythm of two hearts in love.

In their elopement, Mila and Jaxon discovered the true essence of love—unbounded, sincere, and infinitely romantic. Their story was not just a tale of transcending traditions; it was a testament to the power of love when two souls dare to be truly themselves.

The Callista Dress: A Canvas of Dreams and Love

Among the enchanting dresses that grace the racks of Dreamers & Lovers, the Callista dress holds a story that beautifully exemplifies the brand’s philosophy. Bride Denise’s words illuminate the connection between her and the dress:

“‘Callista’ was my chosen wedding dress before I knew she existed. As soon as I stepped into her, a moment flashed before my eyes of my husband seeing me on our wedding day for the first time. ‘Callista’ made me feel effortless, timeless, serene, and peaceful.”



In these words, the essence of the Callista dress comes alive – a gown that doesn’t just dress a bride but intertwines her vision, dreams, and love story. The bride reveals, “There is a reason I found ‘Callista’ at Dreamers & Lovers. For she represented the dress of a dreamer, me, and the vision of a lover, my husband.”

Empowering Freedom and Self-Expression

At the heart of Dreamers & Lovers lies a profound belief in the importance of freedom and self-expression. Every bride possesses a unique story that deserves to be told authentically. The brand’s ethereal dresses are more than just fabric and lace; they become a canvas for every free-spirited bride to paint her own portrait.

How to Choose the Perfect Wedding Dress

Dreamers & Lovers’ vision is that every bride should have the freedom to be herself, to choose a dress that reflects her most authentic essence, and to embrace her individuality on her most special day. The Callista dress is just one example of how a dress can transcend its material form and become a manifestation of dreams, love, and authenticity.

Unconventional Brides Celebrate: Our Rental Wedding Dresses Offer Comfort and Unique Designs

Renting your wedding dress has many benefits, especially if you are a bride planning a nontraditional wedding. Whether planning an outdoor wedding, adventurous elopement, or intimate wedding, our rental wedding dresses will provide a gown that perfectly fits your unconventional wedding. Brides like you fall in love with the comfort level of our dresses. They love the super unique designs, and the laces are cotton, soft, and easy to move around.

Our best selling Hayley wedding  dress rental is the ideal dress to frolic around in, in the outdoors. The silks are breathable and breathtaking. Comfortable, dreamy wedding dresses are all that we do.

Affordability, Convenience & Ease: The Benefits of Renting a Wedding Dress

  One of the main benefits of renting a wedding dress is affordability. The thought process from many of the brides we speak to is, “Why spend thousands of dollars on a dress I’ll only wear once when I can rent one for a fraction of the price?” For brides on a budget, renting a wedding dress is the route. Some brides dream about storing their wedding dress and putting it on yearly for their anniversary. The decision is personal, and most brides buy more than they rent, but the rental is the perfect solution if you have a wedding budget that exceeds the price tag of the dress you fall in love with. Our rental options are a great way to stay on budget without sacrificing style.

Renting Wedding Dresses Gives You Options

Not only is renting affordable, but it’s also convenient. If you are a bride eloping and need a dress in a week, renting a wedding dress from Dreamers & Lovers could be a dream come true. We encourage brides renting their dresses to commit to the rental online, as rentals are subject to availability. If another bride has chosen your dream dress in your size and with a similar wedding date, your dress may be unavailable. We offer two rental options: a 4-day rental and a 7-day rental. The two turnaround options are great because some brides may have a destination wedding and need more time to return the dress to Dreamers & Lovers California studio.

From Showroom to Rental: How Our California-Based Company Is Listening to Brides’ Needs

At our California-based company, we’re all about connecting with our brides, and listening to their dreams, wants, and needs. After working intimately with brides directly in our California showrooms and online, many said they wish we would offer rentals. We were still determining what that would be like logistically.

We’re the first bridal company in the boho/bohemian bridal space offering rental wedding dresses, and we are excited that we can provide this dream for our brides.

And after years of love, fun dating, and commitment, he proposed to Kalyn at a stunning hotel on the Gulf of Mexico just a few days before they moved across the country. Their wedding planning was different than most. They only had two months to plan everything before the big day, which took a lot of work.

The couple had always dreamed of having an intimate wedding ceremony with only their immediate family present. When it’s your dream to have an intimate wedding, you must quickly become an expert on how to plan a small wedding. Questions start swirling in your head, like, “how to plan a small wedding?” “How much does a small wedding cost?” “Where to have a small wedding?”

 

“When we knew I needed to get a dress and get one fast, I thought it wasn’t an option. Luckily I could get a standard-size gown right in time for our event.”

The couple chose a beautiful state park in Florida, Anderson Park, Tarpon Springs, as their venue. It was a hidden gem in their hometown, surrounded by beautiful woodland. For her dress, the bride had always loved the Dawn dress she saw on Pinterest and Instagram a few years ago before she was engaged. To her surprise, she found the perfect shop, Dreamers & Lovers. She made an appointment in the Venice, CA, location, just an hour from where she lived. She tried on several dresses but fell in love with the Samantha dress, which made her and her mother emotional. The perfect wedding dress for her small wedding pairs with the venue beautifully, and the sleeves and fit are incredibly striking on Kalyn.
