It's the way airelle stocks her inventory full of dresses with pockets that makes Southern Throne Next leveL!
If you're looking for a dress that provides a ton of movement, look no further!! This dress is super flowy and the perfect length to keep everything tucked away (if you know what I'm saying).
Imagine frolicking through an open field with the love of your life in this dress. It's a beautiful option for sessions that encourage a ton of movement (RUNNING, pickING up, laying in the grass, etc). Especially if the shoot intends to have a more open nature backdrop.

Whimsical white dress with pockets
Where my brides at??? Let's chat about the dress on the left!
This short, white dress is a stunning option for your upcoming engagement session. Pair it with your favorite heels! This dress is a great option for your city engagement session. Imagine running in the streets with your man (or woman) in this dress... It's a must.
Since it's white, you can match it with just about everything. Your finace wants to wear a strange shirt with a GRIZZLY bear on the front... let him? Not my first choice. but if he does, your outfitS won't clash (MAYBE)!
