Hey you…our Holly is one of those dresses that just stops you in your tracks. It is nothing like you will see in any bridal shop. It is unmistakably for the laid-back bohemian bride. You know that bride, that marches to the beat of her own drum. She certainly doesn’t watch say yes to the dress. Her ideal bachelorette party is spent in a camp site with her five best girls, and almost certainly no veil involved.
I think bohemian brides are to be celebrated, because it is never easy zigging when all of your family and some of your friends want you to zag. It is impressive when a person is comfortable with being that they truly are, being different. Case in point, the woman on the telephone just now, she had a special request. Her request was that if we could place a rush on her dress, she needs it in three weeks for her wedding.
We will call her Betsey, she has been with her guy for 8 years, and have lived together the last 5 years. They just decided to get married already. She is spontaneous and living in the now and needs this dress now. To me, this is the true anatomy of the modern chilled-out bride. She is not caged by traditions, or learned inclinations, she thinks with her heart. It is only natural; she is choosing the dress that she did – the Holly dress.
A dress designed and brought to life with simplicity and effortless ease as the dominant characteristic, using breathtaking fabric as the backdrop, and to be assembled by hands, that is, hands that care for what they are doing, hands that know that this dress isn’t just a dress, that this is a dress that a bride will ultimately state her wedding vows in, and make a promise for today, tomorrow, and forever.
This is how we view a dress each time we make one; we know the importance and the significance of the dress. So whether you are a carefree boho bride, or a traditional bride who just happen to like the look of crochet dresses, the post was supposed to share with you our love for this dress, and hope that you too will love it.
As with all of our dresses, this is made in our studio in Los Angeles, made with one set of loving and caring hands. Our dresses are of a simpler aesthetic; we focus on the details that can only be captured with using human hands. We are aware that being an online only shop, the process of buying a ‘wedding dress’ can be scary, but we do have a genius home try-on program designed with you in mind.
I am a true free spirit at heart, as bohemian as one could be. The woman on the phone has captivated me, because I see a shadow of myself in the spontaneity she possesses. Cheers to all the bohemian brides who are effortlessly cool and enjoys the simpler things in life. We admire you, and raise our virtual glasses to you.

This engagement photo is quite gorgeous in its simplicity and the bohemian feel it evokes. The love and laughter captured through the lens comes across as contagious. The stunning Arabella and her then fiancé Christian, now husband, are from Australia, but had their engagement shoot and wedding done in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico.
Arabella is wearing the dream-ers bohemian lace maxi dress with bell sleeves. This has been a popular choice for bohemian and unconventional brides, for weddings and engagement shoots.
I also love how she transitioned the dress as a swimsuit topper. It is incredible and effortless.
Enjoy the beautiful love story captured through the lens of photographer Johnn Duran.

Our gorgeous bride shown here – Margo – in the best selling Dreamers & Lovers Racquel lace maxi dress. The Racquel is truly the IT dress in every sense of the word. It is one of our first three dresses we designed when we debut Dreamers & Lovers to the fuss-free, and laid-back bridal world.
Now on to this rad bride, and her postcard like mages.
I love the breathtaking Colorado scenery and the rustic feeling it gives off. The horse is not only a great prop it adds whimsy, charm, and a fairy-tale type feel to the photos. Don’t you think?
Thank you Margo for sharing these lovely photos and best wishes to you and your hubby.
Just stunning pics. xx

There are few things that gives us as much joy as seeing our dresses in action. Our real bohemian bride featured here is Josefina who got married in Levanzo, Sicily, Italy. The photos are to-die-for gorgeous and my first reaction when I browsed through, was, what a gorgeous couple, hastily followed by “this looks like a Dolce and Gabbana campaign ad”. Right??
We exist for brides like Josefina, who knows what she wants, and though she uses Pinterest for inspiration, at the end of the day she knows what type of wedding she has, and what dress will work for that wedding. Living in Italy also meant she never saw or tried the dress before purchasing it. She read our review online, felt our authentic vibes, and just did it. She sent us her measurements and we made the dress exactly to her body, and when she received it, she was soooooo happy.
Here is a brief part of Josefina’s message to us:
“Everyone loved the dress, I was so comfortable and happy in it, the colour was great for me, and here in Italy, everyone was amazed, they asked me about you, I recomended you very highly, thank you for showing me that I can trust loving and creative creators as you are, that help one’s dreams come true……
Sincerely Yanique, you helped me envision the marriage of my dreams, congratulations on your great work and keep the magic coming!!!”
Well, here is the lovely Josefina and her beautiful wedding photos. Josefina is wearing the best-selling Iris, Dreamers & Lovers simple lace wedding dress with long sleeves available here. She is wearing it with our skin-colored stretch liner in mini length.
