Palm Beach Bridal Style Inspiration

"Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening."

-Coco Chanel

It's the biggest season of your life. Moments that with be documented & remembered forever. Having a style that represents you in this season can be hard. Stylist & fashion blogger Frilancy Makungu brings together four great looks that will have you ready for all of the pre-wedding & post-wedding festivities. Frilancy brings together some bridal style inspiration perfect for your engagement party, bridal shower, engagement portrait shoot, rehearsal dinner and even your honeymoon! This shoot features the backdrop of the Palm Beach island primarily on Worth Avenue and then on the beach!

Frilancy is a Seattle-based stylist and fashion blogger of Fri's Closet. Her style is sophisticated, modest and a bit flirty. Growing up she would have competitions with her friend as to in who could dress up and accessorize their outfit with the best statement pieces etc. In high school is when things started to change. It was then that she began to take on fashion challenges or better yet it was when she turned those academic hallways into her own imaginary project runway. She saw that season of her life as an opportunity to express herself creatively, to figure out and communicate who she was as a young woman. She soon began to realize she could see in her head how something would look on someone before she had even completed a look. Fast forward years later and she still wakes up every day with a deep seeded passion for fashion. She has immersed herself in the quality, luxury, and integrity of clothing. Constantly creating new styles and bringing out her client's personality in each piece.

Frilancy models these four fabulous looks herself, alongside her boyfriend Michael Hoyle, who models an equally impressive look for grooms. Michael and Frilancy met under unusual circumstances. They were both two hearts carousing the world for excitement and ended up at the same establishment on the same night. A bowling alley. She was out with some friends and family when she noticed a new group of distinguished men occupying the booth next to theirs. Little did she know that she would end up meeting the love of her life shortly after.

As soon as Michael walked through the door he noticed her. He said he had never seen anyone so vibrant in his entire life. When she noticed his eyes were on her and they made direct eye contact he started to blush as he was caught. However, he made a B-line towards her with the utmost confidence hoping she would even give him a "hello". He boldly told her she had to be the most incredibly attractive woman I have even laid eyes on and would be honored to take her out. She was quite shocked and completely caught off guard. He then proceeded to give her his number and told her he was looking forward to her response. Michael and Frilancy are such an adorable couple and had Andrew and I laughing the entire time!

Michael and Frilancy thank you so much for choosing us to capture your epic style and your vacation memories while visiting sunny South Florida! It was a pleasure collaborating with you both on this Palm Beach bridal style inspiration shoot!
