  • Trend Spotter: Spring 2017 Bridal Collections

    While Fashion Week is nice enough, nothing gets us ‘ooh-ing’ and ‘ah-ing’ just quite like the Bridal Collections, and this year’s Spring 2017 Collections were no exception.  Oscar de la Renta’s elegant all-white gowns had us wanting to marry four times over; Vera Wang got us contemplating ditching our Wedding dress entirely to follow their underwear as outerwear trend and Naeem Khan fuelled our long-lost childhood dream of saying ‘I do’ in a pink dress fit for a Princess.

    From high hems to tumbling trains and streamlined silhouettes to supersize-skirts, there was something to make every Bride’s jaw drop,  no matter her tastes or styles.  We’ve picked out some of the main trends from the Spring 2017 Bridal Collections help you on your way to winner the title of ‘most fashionable Bride of 2017.’

  • Styled Shoot: A Dreamy Vintage Inspired Styled Shoot

    WeddingLight Events is thrilled to be sharing our first ever styled shoot! This was our first attempt at creating an inspirational bridal shoot for our lovely international brides and we are thrilled with the results. We certainly could not have achieved this outcome without our phenomenal team of vendors whom without their assistance, dedication and contribution would not have been possible.

    It started with a simple idea of doing something with a vintage chic theme, which was realized with the addition of our friend, Max Chaoul‘s stunning vintage inspired gowns. ​The Daisy gown is a 1920’s inspired look in a fluid low waisted satin design and a gorgeous embroidered lace top. The second is the Lana gown, which is a 1940’s inspired look in a empire cut with a romantic long sleeved crochet design. We then paired ethereal veils and romantic headpieces from Rhapsodie Paris, lovely artisanal (and ethically made) jewelry by Paulette à Bicyclette (yes, you’ve seen her on our blog before!) and whimsical florals by Edith of Une Fleur en Liberte in white and pastel peach and pink colors. To complete our models looks hairstylist, Lucie Letz and Los Angeles makeup artist, Melody Kennedy opted for one model with a bold look that included a daring pink lip and smoky eyes and the other model with a charming and natural look and playful curls. For the location we wanted to have a “Secret Garden” feel with all of its serenity and romance. We were delighted when a friend of our photographer allowed us to use his dreamy home, which is just location outside of Paris in the Parisian countryside. Everyone’s contribution was important, but without the amazing talent of our wonderful photographer, Olivier Lalin of WeddingLight Photography, this shoot would not have happened.

    We certainly hope this inspires our beautiful brides to be! Keep checking the blog as we are in the midst of preparing for another shoot before the summer’s end.
