It was a wedding for the record books. It was magical, it was breathtaking, it was enchanting and… oh yeah, there was a unicorn. Of course, we could only be speaking of the recent nuptials of bridal dress designer extraordinaire, Hayley Paige to Daniel Wallis this past weekend in Lake Tahoe, CA.
Hayley custom designed all FIVE of her wedding weekend dresses, which included two ball gowns (one with sleeves, the other with a cropped-top!), a sparkly geometric reception dress, a crushed-velvet rehearsal dinner mini dress, as well as a post-wedding brunch lace mini dress with a Chiquita Banana inspired flower crown. Needless to say, the wedding was clearly not lacking in the excitement department.
Take a peek at Hayley’s fab five dresses. Which one(s) would you wear?!

Hayley’s glam rehearsal dinner dress was constructed of crème colored crushed velvet and adorned with an out-of-this-world glitzy diamond and chain bolero.

For her first ceremony dress, Hayley whisked down the isle in a classic, lightweight, illusion-sleeved gown with a Cathederal length veil and glittery tiara.

The grand finale dress for ceremony #2 was a perfect mix of magical fairy princess meets boho-chic meets every girl’s dream wedding ever. Guests were left breathless when Hayley emerged wearing a cropped-top dress that flowed out into a ball gown skirt adorned with delicate, colorful flowers along the hem. And naturally, Hayley made sure the ceremony’s Lake Tahoe background dazzled with pink fairy dust and a blue unicorn.

Following the ceremony, Hayley danced the night away with guests in a sparkly beaded illusion reception dress.
The couple’s wedding motto graced the wall of their reception ballroom. Hayley remarked that it was, “A reminder to never take life too seriously and always have a sense of humor in your relationship.”
