I instantly fell in love with Kelsey Genna’s designs when she released her first collection last year, and knew she would be one to watch. Sure enough, her 2014 collection is nothing short of extraordinary. Kelsey finds her inspiration in nature, particularly flowers, and from the New Zealand countryside where she grew up. She works with brides both locally in New Zealand and internationally and you can purchase her designs through her online boutique (and they’re very affordable, by the way). Be sure to check out her blog The Flower Bride, to see real brides wearing her gowns and get updates from this young designer. She’s just 22 years old, and I know we have much to see from her yet! I love how she’s brought in a bit of color by way of the golden, yellow hues to this newest collection. And her designs with the 100% cotton lace are just absolutely beautiful for the bohemian or garden chic bride. Which ones do you love?
