Pronovias goes Royal

And to stay on theme here is another royal wedding related post, after all the big event is just some hours away! While we are all (no?) crazy to discover who created THE big dress, Manuel Mota, the lead designer at Pronovias just unveiled 3 beautiful designs inspired by and thought for Kate Middleton. In Mota's own words "Each design embodies Kate Middleton's elegance, sophistication and personality”. What do you think?

Jo Malone goes Royal

Jo Malone is a Brit favorite of many and with a reason, their scents are quintessentially luxurious as are their beautifully packaged fragrances. The cream box and black ribbon is a staple nowadays and their shops are a treat to the eyes and scent of course! London has been all dolled up for tomorrow's big wedding and Jo Malone couldn't stay behind. Look at the beautiful window display in their flagship Sloane Street store. Beautifully classic, don't you think? 

The lovely ladies at Jo Malone kindly sent me their Orange Blossom Cologne which is the perfect wedding scent as the orange blossom is a symbol of love, fertility and commitment. I always wanted to get an orange blossom based perfume and I must say that this one fits my needs to perfection, sweet but not overwhelming, pure perfection.

A Granada engagement

I came across Sara Lazaro through the spanish wedding blog Tul y Flores. Sara is a spanish wedding photographer and when I perused her site and blog I was fascinated. This engagement is absolutely gorgeous, not only because  the setting is gorgeous Granada but Sara has also captured beautifully this couple's love. Very happy to see that this kind of photography is also taking over Spain! Way to go Sara!

English Wedding

Some of you might remember a post about an  engagement shoot I posted some months ago. It was beautifully done by the incredibly talented Chloe from Caught the Light. The couple was gorgeous and I was really looking forward to their wedding photos. And people, it's amazing, Philippa, the bride wore 2 of the most wonderful dresses I have ever seen and the whole setting is stunning.

PS: through Philipa's blog I discovered were the dresses come from:
white dress by Valentino, green dress by Jenny Packham (A/W 2008 collection) - Check her blog out, she is the sweetest!

Delphine Manivet

Incredibly beautiful wedding dresses. I know I have said this before but here it goes again: if I was choosing for wedding dress I might very well go to Parisian designer Delphine Manivet. 
Tulles, lace, vintage designs mix with modern cuts. The 1930's design below is incredibly dreamy. And I love bare backs so the first one had me at hello.

Melissa Shoes

I noticed last week you really like the shoes the bride of the wedding I posted about was wearing. Remember? The sky blue plastic shoes with a big red heart? Gorgeous right? They are Melissa and most specifically a collaboration between Melissa and Vivienne Westwood. 

All these brides look amazing, not sure if I would go for them on my big day (I dream of Louboutin) but absolutely adore them and would definitely wear them for any other occasion!

And did you see how Betty wears them? This girl, rocks pretty much anything!

Jason Wu goes bridal

If I was looking for bridal wear I would definitely take a very close look at the just launched capsule collection by Jason Wu for Net-a-Porter
What? You didn't know? Well, me neither, but here it is, and it's delightful. I'm a bi big dan of Jason Wu, and I'm one of the many *many who swooned over Michelle Obama's precious inauguration dress. The Net-a-Porter collection is small but clever, and the Audrey-esque short dress has me dreaming of a very very sophisticated bride! 

{And the prettiest beginnings}

Beyond honored to be at Breakfast at toast today, if you want to learn more check it out here Thanks Danielle!

Over my Christmas break I discovered Emma Case, a british wedding photographer extraordinaire. Her work is fun, natural and fun of little details that make every wedding a special memory. Go ahead and read how she became a wedding photographer, it's truly inspirational.

I have never thought about a winter wedding, never ever, to me a wedding is a summer affair but this one in Glasgow, could easily convert me.

A Marvimon Wedding

I came across this really pretty wedding while researching for a post on Marvimon, a fab venue in LA. The Marvimon is from the same people who have the Smog Shopp,  you might remember I did a couple of posts about it some time ago. I felt in live with the vertical gardens! I live the colors of this wedding, very warm and matching the venue too. The bride's dress is pretty fabulous too, you cant really go wrong with lace, can you?
