Feminine Maximalist

I am so obsessed with this aesthetic. I think the large majority of people are also obsessed just from the response on the Tik Tok video of this aesthetic. This aesthetic is all things feminine, extravagant, couture, and extra. The designs are stunning and the work that goes into them is unmatched. I love this aesthetic because I know what goes into each design. All the hand sewn beads on #3 and every tulle flower on #1. The designs and craftsmanship are incredible which is why this is also one of the most expensive aesthetics.

Western Feminine

Alright, alright, alright, this was another fan favorite on Tik Tok. And another favorite of mine, I mean….. look and these photos and tell me this isn’t goals. These people look independent, strong, and just down right HOT. This aesthetic does take inspiration from bohemian but adds a little flare with different fringe, embroideries, and accessories like hats and boots.

At the low hip, Vita falls to a full and bold embroidered skirt and train.

2. Harvest Moon by Rue De Seine. If you're looking for a wedding dress that's as wild and romantic as a full moon rising on a warm autumn night, the Harvest Moon gown could be the one.
