  • Paris Wedding: Aisha and Ben’s Intimate Park Ceremony

    Aisha and Ben first met each other at work. After becoming friends and then spending some time together outside of the office, it became apparent that there was something more. On a family skiing trip in March of 2014, Ben proposed at the bottom of the slope. Pretending to help Aisha with her “broken binding,” he got down on one knee and as she looked down, Ben was there with the ring in hand and popped the question! Not long after, they began discussing wedding plans and Ben jokingly suggested that they elope to Paris. After a little bit of research, Aisha got in contact with us and decided that an intimate ceremony in Paris was the perfect way to celebrate their special day.

     

    Deciding to not see each other until the ceremony, Aisha and her maid of honor prepared in a gorgeous apartment just across the way from the Eiffel Tower. Both were pampered and primped by our fabulous hair and makeup team before our photographer, Olivier of WeddingLight Photography, stopped by for some photos. After stepping into her beautiful blue Christain Louboutin heels and grabbing her lovely handmade brooch bouquet, Aisha was whisked away to Parc Monceau where she was awaited by an intimate group of friends and family. As she walked up towards the bridge, Ben turned around and saw his beautiful bride for the first time. Igor, one of our friendly officiants, then began the ceremony and when they were finished there was a traditional breaking of glass since Ben is Jewish. Following the ceremony, a few photos were taken around the charming park. Then Aisha and Ben were ready for their Photo Tour through Paris with Olivier. After snapping shots around some of the city’s most iconic locations for a few hours, their driver dropped the couple off at Le Train Bleu for a celebratory dinner with their loved ones.

     

    Mozel Tov to the happy couple!

  • Inspiration: Bridal Shoes

    All of our Pairs Destination wedding Brides and Grooms comes in all size and shapes and so does the preference for wedding day footwear!

    We’ve found that shoes are one of the most important aspects to having a great wedding day – if you’re walking around in uncomfortable shoes, or ones that you don’t really like you’re less likely to be able to focus on other aspects of your day. I also can’t stress enough the importance of great insoles and carrying bandages in your purse (just in case!).

    Whether you choose some snazzy Christian Louboutins or some Eco friendly and very comfy Toms. You’re shoes are a reflection of your wedding style and your overall life values.

    For this week’s wedding inspiration we wanted to showcase some pretty shoes and ideas.

    This was such a cute idea for the Groom to write a little note / poem on the bottom of his brides shoes – we love it!

    The shoe gods have put Dame Vivienne Westwood together with the Brazilian shoe brand Melissa to create these comfy mid-heel shoes, with the cutest heart detail! (here we see the bride wearing the white and gold combination of the Lady Dragon Love Heart).

     

     

    Toms wedding shoes

    Personally speaking, as a barefoot bride, sometimes it’s just impractical to wear heels. I’m a big fan of Toms and their philosophy to help children around the world and make shoes that are eco-conscious, so these simple white flats would work just fine. Toms has a wedding line of shoes  for Brides, Bridesmaids, Grooms, Groomsmen and Kids!

    ………..

    I’ve also seen on Etsy (if you are a DIY Bride you have to check out ETSY Weddings) tons of hand made and customizable  items, including shoes! Like these embroidered wedding converse ( with the wedding date and “I Do”).

     

    how are you selecting your wedding day shoes?
