Simply Toni & Paul


Toni and Paul's wedding was clearly rebellious in so many ways. We'd  probably call it an "un-celebrity wedding". From the fact that the bride did her preps at home, to her understated Vera Wang gown (that seemed to transform its colors into a pale kind of blush when hit by the perfect lighting), to how the bride was so secure of herself that she didn't seem to mind sharing the limelight with her maid-of-honor and sister, to the fact that the main entourage consisted of both the couple's immediate families, to Toni's very original grand bridal entrance, to the very fact that they chose Metrophoto to do their wedding photography, oh we could go on and on and on. But those are mostly the 'superficial' ways this wedding could be classified as creative and downright rebellious. 

On a deeper level, this was so different because this was a couple who seemed to have defied many impressions. It was also a wedding that focused on the two most important things often overlooked by all the hullabaloo that goes on in a wedding: the ceremony and the people who witness it. 

So cheers to Toni and Paul. Like every other couple, this day was about love and taking the leap of faith. But unlike other couples, this was a wedding that definitely didn't conform - a reflection of how rebelliously perfect they really are together. 

Rebellious Bride Stephanie's Rajo Gown

We just absolutely ADORE rebellious bride Stephanie's Rajo Laurel gown! Here is another living proof that a bridal gown doesn't have to be pearly white, doesn't have to be heavily beaded, and most definitely doesn't have to have all the frou frou. And how easy of a choice it would have been for the bride to opt for an extravagant gown--after all, she's working with one of the most formidable institutions in the country's fashion industry and she herself holds her own status. But she didn't. And for that, she is a rebel bride in the truest sense.

When we previously wrote about colored bridal gowns (read anti-white), we didn't have enough local references to create a stronger case for those of you out there who are still not convinced with this rebellious plan. But now we'd like to share with you, other real-life brides who have actually donned anti-white gowns!
