BEAUTIFUL AUDREY IN WATTERS BLUSH ILLUSION GOWN

Today, with this first blog post of 2018, I hope to bring back some summer warmth to you all lovely brides of 2018 and share a few photos of inspiration from this lovely, late summer wedding in 2017.

I want to congratulate those of you who recently got engaged, and welcome you to this read. If you are getting married in 2018, there is plenty to choose form and with 1 blog per week coming this year, be sure not to miss, and visit us often. we will be sharing with you tons of inspiration form our real brides, and tell you all about latest trends, know-how and post a few stunning shootings we have in the pipeline! so stay curious, and stay connected 🙂

Our first very lovely bride to be featured on this blog is Audrey, and she totally fell in love with Watters illusion gown in blush hues, and lovely tulle skirt, with some intricate lace-like beading on the bodice.

The wedding took place in the green scenery of medieval castle Grandson, located between Lake Geneva and Neuchâtel, in canton Vaud.

The decoration was absolutely lovely, and kept in the neutral tones, the palette of white, gold, green and brown was chosen, to compliment the natural colours of scenery.  A touch of candlelight chosen to add ambience and romantism to the table setting for guests.

the choice of the delicate white roses, the olive tree branches and the gypsophila is very nature-based and adds warmth with keeping the wedding decor timeless.


and of course there was of love, hugs, smiles, kisses and beautiful moments for a very talented Julie to take a good amount of beautiful wedding pictures. Just as well, as we just adore sharing them with you dear readers.

the same theme of floral design is incorporated in to the bridal flowers and the bridesmaids too, with them having the flower crown and bracelets done ….. and just look at those details on the wedding dress, completely in love

the planner session at the beach,  shoes off , and lots and lots of love !

true love between this two lovely people 🙂

Beautiful Maira wearing Noya Bridal to her Winter Wonderland Wedding

Dear Readers, Lovely Brides,

I know its been soooo long since our last post… we have neglected our blog for some time, as we were so extremely busy at the boutique preparing all those lovely stylish brides for their summer 2017 weddings.

I am actually working from home today, as with this heat, its really difficult to keep going at the speed I’ve been working recently… so while my darling son Noah is sweetly enjoying his nap on our sofa, I am quickly grabbing the opportunity to share with you this amazingly beautiful, full of soft hues, and lovely details photo session that our glamorous bride, Maira, had after their wedding in March of this year.

Only a few photographers I know can deliver such magnificent job, and I am very proud to say that Mailys Fortune is just at the top of the game, and she is widely popular amongst our brides. just as well as with images as below, who can resist??

so, without further due, as I really have to get going, It is my immense pleasure to share with you those bubble of emotions photos to keep you perhaps a bit coller on this super hot summer afternoon 🙂

I promise, there will be plenty more of gorgeous images being posted from our brides, as pictures start flooding our mailbox, but I just need to find time to give them justice and actually publish on the blog with a few words of appreciation to all involved!

love you lots, keep smiling beauties and see you shortly soon *-*

xoxo

JENNY IN AUGUSTA JONES, AT PORTES DES IRIS, FAIRYTALE WEDDING

Once again we would love to congratulate our beautiful bride.

Jenny is a very discreet, adorable, pretty and warm person. During the appointments at the boutique, and after trying a good number of dresses with us, we found the one! the one that makes Jenny’s heart pop, her face smile and eyes shine a million stars 🙂

The final choice was a dress named ISLA from the collection of our British designer Augusta Jones. The soft mermaid dress, made of corded lace and decorated with soft sequins to bring some glow to the overall look. Our adorable couple got married in Autumn, almost winter month of October in breathtaking scenery of Pores des Iris, an old renovated farmhouse whit stunning gardens and lake view, near Morges and Lausanne.

We had a great pleasure to share these precious moments with our couple, and to add a touch of our help to their wedding.

Once again, a big congratulations and lots of happiness for your future!

Warmly,

Team Belle en Blanc

A Venetian Romance

There are very few cities that are so filled with passion as Venice is.

Everything there – the canals, the piazzas, the views… – is all for to lovers and their passions.

We’re simply thrilled when our dear Mailys Fortune invited us to be part of this wedding extravaganza.

I mean, Italy, summertime, weddings…. what could be more perfect?

So let me guide you through the shoot!

We open in Venice…

Meet the groom, Jorge…

…and his bride (for the day), Flora!

Flora is wearing powder blue Rachel Simpson shoes!

 

 

 

 

 

She is wearing ELISA  from WATTERS…

And we’re loving the flower crown and bouquet combo!

…and here’s the groom carrying off his bride!

…the new family: bride, groom, and puppy!

…the puppy also carries a little bouquet!

…and the groom follows his bride! Happy bride, happy life!

And since it’s set in Venice, Gondolas were a must-have!

…the breathtaking moment of the kiss… and a new dress by RIKI DALAL

Don’t be fooled by the lace details! It’s actually just one piece that gives you a wonderfully contemporary crop top effect!

What a lovely mirror effect you get from the columns and arches!

…and a final “woof” from this friendly puppy whose humans JUST got married!

5 Wedding Dress Shopping Tips

#1: Shop nearby!

Choose a shop that’s is either conveniently located next to your work place or to your home. It’s not just about the purchase, it is also about the fittings and if you live in Lausanne, maybe it’s not convenient to fly all the time to London…

#2: Limit your number of visits

Ever heard of dress overdose? The brain can only handle a few options at a time, so do yourself a favor and limit it to one or two shops so you can use all your brain power in choosing dresses and not shops.

#3: Do your research and use event to your advantage

Keep an eye on your local boutique event’s and make sure you rsvp to all their sample sales, trunk shows and discount events. You never know when you can save money for your special day.

#4: Quality has a price

If your dream dress is from this year’s collection of a very well-known designer, don’t expect it to be discounted. Also, don’t expect to find quality on a very low price. Try to find a balance between price, quality and your dreams.

#5: Boutique Fees

More and more boutiques are charging clients for the appointments. It’s a way for them to better segment their clients and to give a value to the consulting service they provide. Good boutiques will refund this value when you order the dress and leave you feeling confident, happy and informed.

Sweet Joelle in ANNA KARA, September 2015 Gruyere Wedding

“Belle en blanc…its simply a dream wedding dress boutique!

I discovered the boutique and their beautiful dresses at the catwalk of the Bridal Exibition Marinatal in Lausanne, and immediately i lfell in love with their style of the dresses.
I then discovered the boutique itself, during an appointment, and met Olga, the owner, who immediately knew what i wanted for my big day. We didn’t need much time to understand it, and for Olga to find the dream wedding dress for my day!
Even after a surprise in measurement change (baby tummy), Olga and her magic team adjusted the dress perfectly to my changing size, and it was just perfect! I received so many compliments on my beautiful wedding dress!
Other then the beauty and elegance of the presented dresses at Belle en Blanc, you get to meet a very patient and professional consultant who is passionate by their job and will always listen to you.
Thank you to Olga for her kindness, and her precious advice and availability.”
Joelle wore a special “Bergamot” dress by our very appreciated and demanded Polish designer, Anna Kara.

STUNNING SANDRA IN A DREAMY WINTER SETTING

Not so long ago, we have been trully honoured to meet, become very close with and also celebrate the wedding of a very special couple……… Sandra got married early November 2015 in the most romantic and fairy-tale wedding setting imaginable. I have discovered the photos just few days ago, and i simply went speechless for a very long while (which for those who know me well, are very aware its rather hard to do to 🙂

When Sandra was telling  me about her wedding plans, i could picture some details, but what i discovered looking at the photos, was simply utter amazement and a slight hint of very healthy jeleaousy, which all combined truly went to prove that Sandra is a pro in events organizing and thought about every slightest detail for her special day. This wedding is simply a perfect setting that takes me back in time, gives me goosebumps, impresses me and provides a very very cosy feeling all at once.

The warm, cosy ambience, the very old-fashioned, romantic and grand at the same time set-up of the wedding venue, the stunning yet so simple flower and table decor, with only hints of white and soft green tones, and to complete that all, the warm autumn leaves, and a gold-glowing mood of each photo and emotions so beautifully captured by Sandra’s friend and a photographer, who specially attended this wedding traveling all the way from USA.

I think i can speak for all the guests who attended the ceremony and the reception, that to be invited and present at Sandra’s and Johny’s wedding was a true honour and eye treat that will be long remembered by her friends and family.

A few words about the dress: we choose a simple and sophisticated strapless gown by Caroline Castigliano called “Love Letters” (could we even ask for more romantic name !?) and changed the style by adding long corded lace sleeves to match the mood of the late autumn wedding and weather conditions, and Sandra wanted to have ivory belt as well, instead of the original grey one that was part of this design. After a few appointments and verification of alterations, we were happy with the final result and both agreed that changing the sleeves to full length was the perfect choice! Sandra’s day was simply perfect!!

We could not be happier and prouder to share this beautiful wedding with you . Big congratulations to Sandra and Johny on their wedding and my thanks for sharing those amazing bubbles of emotions with us, and our visitors, who will surely enjoy admiring them as much as we did 🙂

Lots of love, and warm hugs to you both,

Olga

REAL BRIDE: SOPHIE at Portes des Iris

Just have a look at our delicate bride Sophie, who got married this year, in July at magnificent venue Portes des Iris, in Vullierons.

Sophie choose a classic, elegant and timeless style dress called Marylin by our very admired designer, Augusta Jones. We slightly changed the neckline, and really gave the personal touch to Sophie’s gown choice, by making the strapless gown, using a lovely satin duchess to make the bodice, and soft, floaty silk organsa skirt to give a romantic, light and airy overall look.

As you can see on the images, the wedding theme was soft, blush and pastel colours, and Jenia Sanguinetti, one of the most amazing wedding photographers ever, made some really fabulous pictures during the famous golden hour, so much loved by many photographers.

We love the final look and are very happy to be able to share yet one more of our lovely, happy Belle en Blanc brides of 2015 🙂
