Purple Reign

It is said that purple is the colour of royalty... that it stands for luxury, wealth and sophistication, but most importantly, and the reason why i love purple, is because it represents passion, romance and sensitivity. Doesn't it just look gorgeous when injected into a wedding? Pure purple passion!!

Helicopter High

One of the best days of my life... so far... was a day when a friend took my two girlfriends and i flying over Paris in his helicopter. It was amazing!



(This is a photo of us arriving at a French chateau for afternoon tea)


What I will never forget is landing in this gorgeous French chateau, only to have an entire wedding stop and watch us. I felt like a real Princess. It was so thrilling! So imagine on your wedding day, the day that is said to be the best day of your life... imagine arriving in style, in a helicopter! Personally, I would loovveeee it... but i think Frog Prince would be too scared ??

Carrie Underwood Wedding

It's been quite a week for Hollywood weddings, from Penelope Cruz to Emily Blunt and Mena Suvari to Carrie Underwood. As a lover of designer Monique Lhuillier I couldn't resist posting the photos of country music singer Carrie Underwood marrying NHL hockey player Mike Fischer. Carrie looks stunning in her chantilly lace and silk organza Monique Lhuillier gown. Wearing a 40 carat diamond tiara, a gift from her husband, she truly looked like a princess bride. Here's to a Hollywood happily ever after!

Unique Wedding Bouquets

I came across this pretty wedding the other day photographed by Stephanie Williams Photography, and just had to share the images with you. The thing i want to share is the wonderful bridal bouquets. What a great idea to have each of your bridesmaids carry a different variety of flower, but each in the same colour. I just love this idea, it's seriously uber-chic!






Each bridesmaid carried a different flower arrangement but all in white...
calla lillies, hydrangeas, carnations, tulips and roses.

Animal Attraction

I found inspiration today when i was at my friends place is Paris... or should i say at his huge mansion? His maison is amazing! It is huge (for Paris), five stories of complete French bachelor-ness! Each floor of his home is decorated in a different theme... the main living area is an African, animal theme and it's tres sexy.



There's something undeniably captivating about animal print, especially in fashion! Though it may not be the first print or colour palette that pops into mind when planning a wedding, it certainly provokes more animal attraction than you can growl at!

Charmed I'm Sure!

Choosing who will be your bridesmaid is one thing, but then choosing memorable gifts as a thank you is yet another stress. Luckily charm bracelets are never out of fashion, and when attached with a personal, heart-felt note they become an even more memorable gift for those special to you.



Charming Tiffany's!


These gorgeous little trinkets will become heirloom pieces that forever ignite the memory of your wedding day. Take the time to write a note and attach it to a charm that represents the personality of each of your bridesmaids, just like these one's below that I saw in a Christmas gift guide... simply charming !!!
