Amie and Thomas' Californian Ranch

Amie's sensational lace Inbal Dror wedding dress is the perfect mix of glamour and elegance, elevating this woodsy wedding to the next level.

"We hosted our nuptials on a California ranch surrounded by friends and family underneath enormous oak trees. Our wedding ceremony was a short and sweet ceremony held on a beautiful grassy lawn underneath oak trees at sunset. We then we shared our celebration inside rustic barns, dancing into the night.

I honestly didn’t try on that many dresses. I’m not a big shopper or a girly-girl and I mostly can be found wearing a t-shirt and jeans. I knew I wanted my dress to have long sleeves so that also limited me to a smaller selection. I actually purchased one dress a little too quickly because that’s how much I don’t like shopping! I was so glad to be done but later realized I jumped the gun. Then I went shopping with three friends and found my dream dress. It was love at first sight and I had to have it.

We hosted a vintage, rustic reception held in a renovated barn. Romantic lighting featuring vintage chandeliers hung from the barn rafters. The linens were all handmade by me and the tables were peppered with vintage milk glass vases and green and white florals. The cake topper was handmade by my grandfather.

My husband and I just bought our first home… a fixer-upper, to say the least. As much as I’d love to keep it, we need to budget for our new home. I know another beautiful woman will love this dress as much as I do and I hope that it finds another special home.

The wedding/bridal industry have become so difficult and overpriced that it can easily take the joy out of what should be the happiest season of life. Going to traditional bridal salons turned out to be a negative experience for me as gowns were overpriced for mass-produced designs that were lacking in quality + the astronomical lead times they require...almost every salon would put pressure on us to order a dress today or I wouldn't have any hope of having it in time for a wedding that was 9 months away. Ridiculous. That's where Still White became the perfect option for me. I was watching designers I knew I loved (Kim Kassas, Leah Da Gloria, Viktor & Rolf, etc.) and found the exact gowns I loved most from bridal salons for a fraction of the price because someone had worn the gown once for a few hours. This became such a no-brainer for me! I love reusing such an expensive and meaningful garment, too. The purchase I made was by a designer I wasn't aware of before, but the process was easy and I feel good about extending the life of this dress that might otherwise live in a box for the next few decades.
