For our 2012 edition of Spectacular Bride magazine, Bridal Spectacular brought together a host of talent for our latest fashion shoot. With four models, three beauty teams for hair styling and make-up artistry, and twenty bridal gowns, we invited ten photographers to join us at one of Las Vegas’ most romantic locations: Ravella, a Dolce Hotel and Resort at Lake Las Vegas.

With this photo shoot, we wanted to capture the essence of a modern bride in a traditional, romantic setting. But, Las Vegas brides, that wasn’t our only goal. We also crafted this special shoot to give you opportunities to discover vendors for your Las Vegas weddings.

Through our blog posts and our original magazine spread “Fashion Shoot Through the Lens of Ten Photographers,” you’ll see talent-in-action from every vendor who participated. From the photographers’ characteristic styles to the unique work of each beauty professional, you can discover which vendors you would best like for your weddings.

Also, with twenty bridal gowns, you can find dress designs you’d like to try for your own special days. But, brides, you won’t have to travel to New York for the styles displayed in Spectacular Bride. Instead, you can find all of these bridal gowns locally, which allows you the freedom and confidence to select a dress with no complications.

Brides, if you haven’t already viewed our first segment in this series, please read our blog post: “Ravella Fashion Shoot features skilled photographers, breathtaking bridal gowns, and talented beauty professionals.”

Then dive into this next segment to discover even more photographs, including several images exclusive to our blog. As the completion to our Ravella Fashion Shoot series, today we present the final photographs of these spectacular brides!
