The Ko’olau Ballrooms Shoot Featuring Palazzo Bridal by Jane White

If you missed the Midweek post, or wanted to see more, here’s a photo collage of our photoshoot at Koolau Ballrooms. Gowns by 100% Made in USA designer Palazzo Bridal.

Jane White and Olia Zavozina – 100% Made in USA Worldclass Designers on KHON2’s Living808

Palazzo Couture by Jane White and Olia Zavozina are two of the most talented, creative bridal designers in the world. They also happen to work 100% locally to their Chicago and Nashville homes — because their dresses aren’t outsourced, this means their dresses are the highest possible quality, and they operate more sustainably. Watch the full KHON2 segment here.

Low, lower, and lowest back wedding dresses

There’s no doubt about it – low back wedding dresses are hot right now, and there are a lot of ways to do it. Check out a sampling of Masako Formals low back wedding gown options.

Jane White of Palazzo

Jane White, designer of Palazzo bridal, is a humble genius. When it comes to the two most important aspects of a wedding dress – look and feel – her gowns score 11 out of a possible 10 on both counts. Here’s a peak into the deceiving “simplicity” that requires the highest level of precision, which she can execute because all her gowns are hand crafted locally outside of her Chicago home. We see a lot of dresses, but these ones almost made us cry. (Update: see our Ko’olau Ballrooms Palazzo photo shoot.)
