We’re sharing this delicate loveliness to inspire those of you dreaming of a wedding in France. Lovely French wedding photographer Joanne Rabenarisoa got in touch earlier in the year to send this dreamy photoshoot, and we couldn’t resist sharing it with you! There’s a full supplier list below. Enjoy! Claire's signature

This styled shoot has been inspired by the bay of Arcachon, in the Southwest of France, near Bordeaux. This area is very famous for its fresh and delicate oysters that can be savored all year long. As a French wedding photographer from this region, I wanted to bring up a small group of local vendors and models to help me illustrate the charm of our winter season.

Today we’re all about the pretty, with a romantic and natural inspiration shoot sent in by wedding planner Noemi Bellante from Abruzzo, Italy. The delicate blue colour palette is wonderful. The floral styling is incredible – floral hanging parasols, anyone? Everyone?! Oh, and the romance is real – Valentina and Siro are a couple in real life, and aren’t they just natural models? We love this shoot and all the inspiration it brings, to create a beautiful wedding look with delicate colours and creative styling ideas. Noemi explains how it all happened:

I wonder if 2021 will be the beginning of a surge in elopements… a year when couples put being married before all the frills of a wedding, and tie the knot, just the two of them, in the most romantic and dreamiest of ways. Perhaps this beautiful feature will inspire a few of you lovelies to consider an elopement. (And remember, the big party can always come later!)

A beautifully shot, romantic elopement in Lefkada – beautiful bride Shelby and new hubby Daniel headed away from it all for a dream wedding, and their images by lovely Maxeen Kim are EVERYTHING. It’s been the toughest of years for so many, but I take my hat off to this gorgeous pair for eloping – for focusing on being married, and for staying strong through all the uncertainty of 2020. Shelby is stunning in a Wed2B dress; Daniel’s summer wedding look is from Next. The florals are exquisite – and planner Claire from Lefkas Weddings gets a glowing review from our happy couple!

It’s not often I cry at a wedding on my screen – but today, Stephen and Colin got me. Their love story is so romantic, and to hear how their little family has grown since their first (big) wedding and their 10 year vow renewal… well, I cried!! Perhaps it was ‘Big Dad’ and ‘Short Dad’ – perhaps the rescue dog tale… perhaps the overwhelming romance of the setting and how beautiful their vow renewal was.
