Hello everyone! I hope you’re having the most amazing Christmas and enjoying a little time off work and with your families and friends.

Hello there! Welcome once again to new wedding blog readers, congratulations and best of luck with your exciting wedding planning adventures!

Introducing Lanvin Blanche - unique, statement French bridal fashion

FEATURED

The one thing every bride and couple tell me about their wedding planning is that they want their day to be unique. Everyone looks for those special touches which their guests won’t have seen before, to make their wedding memorable. For some of us, this means gorgeous paper details, handcrafted accessories or wedding favours. For others it’s avoiding the usual bridal boutiques and searching further afield for a unique wedding dress.

French bridal fashion (5)

I’ve always loved the French attitude to fashion, I adore seeing how creative French designers can be, always launching collections which challenge our preconceptions and get us talking! French bridal fashion is of course no different, and Lanvin Blanche 2014 is simply beautiful. For any English brides out there looking to wear a statement dress, hop over to Paris or buy online at www.Lanvin.com

The Lanvin Bridal collection, Blanche 2014, takes its inspiration from fairytales and princess dreams, combining romance and atmosphere to delight and enchant creative brides. The collection includes fifteen Couture dresses – a few of which are shown here, the rest you will see at Lanvin.com in the bridal lookbook.  See more...

Hello everyone, I hope you’re having the most wonderful Christmas! Let’s relax together with a short wedding film this morning, shall we? The very lovely Richard from White Dress Films got in touch to share Sarah and Rick’s wedding film, and I love it!

Sarah + Rick || Gaynes Park from White Dress Films on Vimeo.

I love the Mr & Mrs signs – the library as a backdrop for the wedding dress is amazing! This couple have great style… proven by the rows of Converse set out before the wedding begins. They’re for the groomsmen, and are always lovely to see!

Sarah looks amazing and Rick is her perfect match. This is a magical, emotional wedding with inspiring styling – it has everything. Be inspired by their style – ice cream cones and bunting, colourful converse, pink roses and wildflowers in jars on tables. The table plan with hand cut letters, and the photo wall with ready-made quotes. The end of the wedding film is lovely, the romantic lighting just makes you want to see more!
