When we received the images from Lauren Hawkins and Joe Larsen’s Boone Hall Plantation reception we were bowled over by the couple’s cool wintry style—especially by that green and blue plaid riding jacket of hers. Another winter bride, Caroline Cuttino, sported a sleek, chic white leather moto jacket when she paraded out of the French Huguenot Church and through the French Quarter with her now-husband, Abraham Kuhn. These forge-your-own fashion path brides inspired our fall-winter 2015 fashion shoot, where cover-ups and great textures rule. Check out that story here, and after browsing the gallery of 30-some real-life looks above, click on the links below to catch all the prettiness of the corresponding Big Days.
