Esperanza Gown in a Summerfield Farms Wedding | Sara + Matthew

A dash of vintage and a dollop of classic romance informed Sara’s wedding day aesthetic. When she visited Bellissima in search of a timeless wedding dress that made her feel lovely and moved like poetry, she met her match! Esperanza’s floral organza, detachable balloon sleeves, and floaty ball gown skirt felt meant to be.

Love In Every Detail

Behind the gorgeous Sara and Matthew’s flower-filled day at Summerfield Farms is a lot of intention and heart. Sara wore Santa Maria Novella Magnolia perfume – a gift she’d bought herself while in Italy and then saved for the day. Matthew’s aunt designed her wedding ring, and his uncle sourced its stones. Sara baked their sweetheart-shaped wedding cake herself, and her sister hand-painted their seating chart.
