Style 037 and Ponte Winery in Temecula

Ponte Winery is located in the heart of the Temecula Wine Valley in Southern California. The 300 acres of mature vineyards, with its rolling hills was the location for a wedding shoot put together by Ashley Bee Photography. Karissa, the bride, wore style 037 from the Bonny Classic Collection. 

Style 037 is a Mermaid gown with pleating falling from the sweetheart neckline down the asymmetrical cut fitted bodice.  Fan pleating adorns the side hip with beading embellishments and continues as an overlay across the front skirt.  The lace up back leads to more fan pleating opening down the semi-cathedral train. It is available in White and Ivory.

Gorgeous location, beautiful bride and an amazing wedding gown all captured by a fantastic photographer! You can view all the photos taken that day on Ashley's blog! 

Winery Wedding: Keyways Winery of Temecula

On a gorgeous, sunny Southern California day wedding photographer Ashley Bee set off for Keyways Winery in Temecula. She writes: "A tufted blue velvet couch and an empty garden. An ivory gown and shimmery golden heals. A pretty girl with a big dream. Every girl wants a love story, and hers was to be written." Thank you Ashley for these gorgeous pictures of style 112. We loved working with you on this shoot - and we look forward to seeing much more of your creative style in the future...just stunning!
