Set against the backdrop of Armstrong National Forest in Gurenville, California, gorgeous Maggie Bride Ashley donned our dazzling <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maggiesottero.com\/maggie-sottero\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Gianna<\/strong><\/a> gown for her wedding day. The result? This perfectly romantic woodland wedding. &#8220;I knew I wanted something unique, so I originally wanted a vintage dress that I could make my own,&#8221; Ashley said. &#8220;But I thought I should at least try some dresses on for the experience, and to make sure I didn&#8217;t rule out any options. After trying on about ten gowns, and seeing nothing that stood out to me, I finally found the one! I knew the moment I put it on that it was the one for me&#8230; It was sexy yet fun, and vintage looking all at the same time!&#8221; Still looking for an extra vintage flair, Ashley paired her stunning vintage-inspired dress with the headband from our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maggiesottero.com\/maggie-sottero\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Emilena<\/strong><\/a> gown. &#8220;It felt like it was missing something until I tried on the amazing Emilena headband, and that&#8217;s when I knew it was the dress for me!&#8221; We&#8217;re absolutely swooning over this beautiful woodland wedding&#8230; See more photos and read Ashley&#8217;s story below, and click on the links for more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maggiesottero.com\/vintage-wedding-dresses\">vintage wedding gown<\/a> inspiration!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Note: Our Gianna gown is discontinued.
