Garden Goddess; Feminine & Fierce Muse Wedding Dresses By Morilee

Morilee by Madeline Gardener Muse | Claire Eliza | Flutere 22

Let’s just say we’re *a bit* excited about how loud and proud we’ve all gotten to celebrate women empowerment lately, and watching those ideals displayed even stronger in bridal collections has been euphoric. When we saw the latest Muse Collection from Morilee by Madeline Gardner we were high fiving all around the Bridal Musings water cooler, these gowns are feminine and fierce – fit for a garden goddess.

Lucky us, we had the pleasure to dress up our own muse Annette Flores (or Netty Flowers, so fittingly named) in our favorite gowns from the utterly romantic collection. She played peony queen in Morilee’s beloved & powerful Kinley gown and channeled rockstar Stevie Nicks vibes in boho goddess gown, Kendall. Each dress in the collection has its own feminine details and features fierce silhouettes.

And a garden goddess needs her stage – Kelsey Calandro of Flutere dreamed up this incredibly wild and colorful altar that could turn any wedding space, inside or out, into a botanical paradise. Refraining from attributing to any certain color scheme, the arches buck the usual trends creating a unique, modern, and ferocious look. We’re inspired by the live floral earrings (new trend alert!) and the freely held florals, that allow our goddess bride to change her bouquet and look throughout the wedding day.

Rebecca Eichenbaum‘s naked cake, adorned with Flutere florals, adds that perfect untamed, natural touch for the wedding scape. And an edgy, deep-parted braid by our style queen Roxy adds to the wild look, all I could do is bow down behind the camera as the fiercely styled Morilee Muse scene unfolded.

Without much further ado, we present to you our feminine and strong Morilee garden goddesses.

Kinley

Romantic lace, princess sleeves, ivory blush undertones and an ever-flattering fit and flare silhouette, Kinley might be our dream wedding dress!

We imagine Kinley to be our peony garden goddess, with ruffled lace applique extending beyond the bodice, much like a peony’s ruffled petals.

Soft and romantic is the ivory tone of this lace, but strong and empowered is the silhouette of this fit and flare gown. Bare your collar bones and stand tall, this gown is the epitome of feminine and strong.

Kiley

Boho beach babes will be besties with Kiley, the fabulously fitted and embellished sheath wedding dress.

We imagine bride Kiley marrying in a tropical garden, maybe in Hawai’i? She wants a simple, slinky gown but with a little something “extra” you know? Not quite a slip, but definitely not a ballgown. With delicately beaded sleeves, open back and detailed Chantilly lace, Kiley delivers.

And with less fabric and weight in this gorgeous sheath, beach babe Kiley can afford a lengthy train, making her slinky silhouette even longer (swoon!)

Kendall

We have a friend named Kendall. She threw a live country music filled, teepee wedding in the Hill Country of Texas while the bluebonnets bloomed. We threw lavender when she and her beau said “I do” (this is all true!) She loves Stevie Nicks and vintage lace. Do it all over again, I bet the only thing she’d change is adding Morilee’s Kendall to her ensemble.

With fluttering bell sleeves, a curve-loving sheath silhouette and an option for Rosé undertones (what?!) Kendall is a 70s goddess beating to her own drum. Her vintage-inspired lace is feminine, but her look is stage-ready and powerful – totally rock and roll.

The close fit and open back bring this nostalgic wedding dress to 2018, making this gown one hip number.

Kaira

Kaira, our city-chic botanical garden bride, is sexy yet sensible, romantic yet irreverent, as unique as any bloom in the atrium she reigns over.

We know illusion panels are the ultimate design element in the sexy wedding dress category these days. With Kaira, floral appliques cover in all the right places, while sheer paneling shows just small windows of skin, making this would-be provocative gown more sophisticated-sexy.

While we’ve seen a number of beautiful illusion paneled gowns from leading designers this year, the open portrait back on Kaira is so fresh. Our eyes are drawn to this open-back intrigue while the silk crepe skirt falls so sweetly to the ground.

Kiersten

Love the 70s boho vibes but want a little sparkle? Kiersten is your girl.

Off-the-shoulder bell sleeves would place this wedding dress in the vintage-inspired column, except that Kiersten features so many modern updates she fits no category but her own, Kiersten is our orchid goddess.

Featuring Diamanté and Pearl Beading she shines and sparkles. Sheer lace on the bodice, she’s fun and provocative. An open diamond back, she’s different. In Kiersten, you can twirl all night and most certainly turn heads.

Krystal

Elegant, romantic, showstopping – Krystal oohs and ahhs.

With a dramatic scallop hemmed train and Venice embroidered lace, Krystal may be the most delightfully feminine gown of the group. But don’t think “girly”, she’s grown up with a sexy low back and features your best bits in a fit and flatter shape.

The straps are unique – covered with floral appliques that peek out behind your shoulders – and utterly romantic. This feature is rivaled only by the layered train which is available in three lengths (we’re smitten with the longer statement train!)

Katriane

Perfect for the boho bride, we could see Katriane getting swept up in the wind at a prairie countryside wedding, or twirling through a sweet meadow.

The fit is so flattering and best of all, comfortable! The waist is wide, fitting tightly while the full skirt flows behind you. What makes this timeless fit so modern is the cut-out lace.

Not only is it such an eye-catching detail, this means you with a full-skirted wedding dress with so much less weight!
