Happy Monday beauties! To start out another amazing week ahead, we’re sharing some lovely fall inspirations from Mandy Liento, owner of La Sorella Bridal. (Don’t worry, we’re certainly not passing up the spring or summer just yet. We have so many fun inspirations to share for the upcoming season, but we just couldn’t wait to share all of the gorgeousness from this autumn shoot.) Mandy used this photo shoot as an opportunity to showcase two ladies (hair stylist, Kristen and makeup artist, Dawn) from her talented team. Mandy and her fabulous team pulled together a selection of talented models, beautiful dresses, and gorgeous accessories for this shoot. All the dresses and some of the accessories came from I Do…I Do… in Morristown. Alisa Brides also provided some accessories and custom veils! The shoot took place at the Valley Regency in Clifton, New Jersey, where the vibrant tones of the fall foliage added the perfect amount of color and warmth. With the addition of beautiful bouquets from Valley Regency’s house florist Regency Design, they were all set for a fantastic shoot. Photos were taken by Brittany Ostrov from Brittany O photography, who specializes in bridal and journalistic photogrpahy.

“He made us feel like rock stars!”

Patty and Manny were married on July 10, 2010 at the Pines Manor in Edison, NJ. Following their beach themed reception, the couple reunited with their photographer, Marconi The Art of Photography, and had a Trash The Dress Photo Shoot. When Patty reminisced about that day, she said, “He made us feel like rock stars”. Check back tomorrow to see photos from Patty & Manny’s wedding or pick up the latest New Jersey edition of Contemporary Bride Magazine to read about their wedding day!
