So, as you guys know, we have a bit of an international feel here at Bridal Musings. I'm Irish, Elizabeth is British, she lives in Dubai, I live in London, and we feature weddings and shoots everywhere from Italy to Indonesia, with our readers coming from all over the world too.

And while we adore all manner of weddings, and reckon love is love, whatever part of the world you come from, there is something undeniable about planning your big day. It's local.

Of course you can have a destination bash, fly in vendors from overseas, or order your details online. But from the moment you choose where you're going to get married, your wedding gets a sense of place, local vendors come onto your radar, and everything from the flowers, to the food, to where you get your photos taken, will depend on what's available in the area.

And today's shoot is a celebration of the quality and creativity of local vendors. And this particular bunch of talents are based in Shreveport, right up in the corner of Louisiana. Who, despite being pretty landlocked, created the most gorgeous, ethereal beach bridal session.

With beautiful Photography by Michala Wilson, they've styled a simple yet dreamy wedding inspiration, that shows how any couple can have a wedding with details that look straight out of a high end blog or magazine, with just a little creativity, imagination and some carefully chosen vendors.

Starring the cutest dog we think we've ever seen and gorgeous bride Alorah, we'll pass you over to the lovely Michala Wilson to tell us more about it.
