Dressing for your groom...

Recently I have spotted a growing trend for non traditional wedding dresses. From the mini dress to the colourful wedding dress, anything but the white wedding dress seems to be going from strength to strength.  I have often wondered if the bride consulted with her groom before she decided to strike out and make her very own fashion statement.

Who said the bride must wear a white dress??

These were the words I muttered this evening whilst talking to a friend and how true they are. What happens if you are not a bride who looks good in a white dress or are a bride who can't find a white dress that looks good on her? 

Brides,  defy tradition,  stand up tall and wear what makes you feel amazing! If you are looking for something different, we have had a lot of fun compiling our favourite 10 looks for non traditional  beautiful brides! 

Bridal hair ideas!

A lot of brides to be will be checking out all the different bridal hair styles for their wedding. My advice is start a Pinterest board and check out other peoples boards for ideas.  Over the coming months you will find the style you like the most emerging. All you have to do then is get your hair in tip top condition!

Have fun! 

Winter warmers

I am a massive fan of a winter wedding (especially a winter wedding in Italy!) I love the different textures, layers and colours that we can play with. I also have a thing for open fires, hot chocolate and fresh snow.  But what I am not a fan of is feeling cold and there is nothing worse than seeing a bride shivering and turning blue, which is why staying warm in style is so important for a winter bride! 

Feeling a little blue today...

I am so in love with this inspirational wedding shoot! It needs no words just feast your eyes! 

It is the season to send out your save the date announcements!

Prints of beauty 

It is that time of year again when I find myself standing in the shop looking at so many different designs of Christmas cards and can not decide which one represents me best. So I feel for all my bride and grooms,  planning to send out their 'Save The Date' cards for their destination wedding in Italy, at the same time as their Christmas cards and faced with making the first big ''styling'' decision!

Where, when, how, to pop the question!

 

The proposal, probably one of the most never wrecking moments in a mans life, but one that will be recounted for many years to come! 

Anna had hired a photographer for a photo session with her boyfriend, Maksim during a holiday to Venice, but little did Anna know that Maksim had a plan of his own. He decided that this would be the perfect time for him to pop the question! Working with Luca Faz, their photographer, he made a plan for when and where it should happen.

Anna and Maksim strolled through St Marks square hand in hand and even though there was such a hustle and bustle, it still seemed like they were there all by themselves. Almost like they were in their own world. Transferring to San Giorgio they walked along the water, with St Marks in the backdrop,  the time came for the big moment and their photographer caught it all. How special is that? You will never forget that moment when you realise that this other person wanted to be with you for the rest of their lives. It is simply magical.

Totally worth booking a photographer to capture the moment! 

One Bride, One groom, will travel!! Part one...

When Sara first wrote to me asking for information, she introduced herself and her fiance as ''living in the US and love to travel!''  Sara and Jason had never been to Italy before, but Sara's great grandmother was from the old country and they felt it would be an ideal way to connect their past with their future!

Time for something adorable on a wintery Sunday afternoon...
