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 🙂

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 *-*
When Sadina walk to the boutique, it was getting close to 17h and i was about to close for the day, and had home. But the enthusiasm and great energy that i felt from the bride and her sister and friends were so positive, that i decided to run the appointment anyway (a date with my husband will have to wait a bit longer…)
Sadina knew the boutique via her sister, who just got the job in the same building as Belle en Blanc, and as it turned out, they were all the way around Lausanne desperately looking for the dream dress, and in desperation her sister finally proposed coming to us. As it later turned out, the dream was just under the nose 🙂
We started the appointment with some very beautiful dresses, but Sadina wanted to have a very sexy, stylish dress. When we put on Megane by Augusta Jones the choice was the most natural and obvious and also applauded by all parties immediately. We have found THE ONE, and Sadina looked absolutely stunning. One small tweak to the neckline to provide slightly more cleavage and the star was born.
When the dress arrived a few months later, and Sadina came to do her fitting, we had absolutely nothing to do as the dress fitted perfectly :)!
The big day arrived and the bride looked absolutely STUNNING!! We had to wait slightly longer then anticipated for the photos, but nonetheless the result is amazing, and it was worth the wait.
The wedding took place in Montreux in September 2015, and was photographed by Jessica Amber Photography.

“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.
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 🙂
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 🙂
It has been over a year since we met each other and i can hardly make through this time without you. Thank you for helping me choose this mind-blowing dress, for providing me up to date information, for encouraging me to be the bride and the person i want to be. , for calming me down, and for tipping me up.
i enjoyed so much simply talking to you, not only as a client, more as a friend. You are a professional and welcoming, more impressively, sweet, nice, considerable and patient person. I am the luckiest bride ever!

« I’ll tell you a secret! When we are expat like me, one of our best friend to find good addresses is « google ».
After a short journey on it, the boutique Belle en Blanc became obvious. Indeed, after browsing all the laudatory testimonies, the pictures of the dresses, getting more beautiful one after the other, I have clearly made my choice. This is going to be my first Lausanne address and also the last.
Completely charmed, I sent an email and received directly an answer back to book an appointment. The first and good feeling was confirmed.
Welcomed by Olga, the owner, I discover a place dedicated to the bride: an elegant and feminine decoration which highlights so perfectly all the choices of the gowns from various designer and the fitting room, but more over, the splendid view of the lake and the alps, have made of this boutique the choice of my heart, really. Just need to find my dress now.
However, I have to wait a bit more as Olga is first asking me a few questions about the style of the wedding and my wishes for clothing. I want to have a dress in ivory, which is unique and reflects a bit of fancy tones, as well as rustic and bohemian, which is Kelley and I whish for the day.
Equiped with these details, Olga selects a few gowns. The fabulous adventure of trying dresses has now started. Olga leaves me some space to take time and to look at myself in the mirror and also tries to identify what I like or dislike in each gown. They are all beautiful, but I still can’t feel the “wooow” effect.
Nevertheless, I am still on my cloud and comes the last gown to try, which is the dress from a polish designer, Anna Kara. By just looking at it, I directly notice the difference: the ivory colour is more obvious and its main fabric, which is in tulle, is simply splendid. It gives the rustic aspect I was looking for. I try it on with a lot of excitement. Olga has barely finished to close the last button of the back, that I spontaneously say “I love IT”. It is the one for sure, this is the one I am going to wear at my wedding. The dress is moreover comfortable; I can even move and dance. Olga is as well convinced; she noticed my switch of expression and posture. I just became at one with the dress.
Even though Olga is professional in her advices, she knows as well how to take time to celebrate happy times. She then offers me a glass of champagne to cherish and memorise this moment full of emotions.
Then, she takes my size in order to make the dress bespoke and to wear it fitted. She assures me that the dress will be delivered on time, as she chooses her designer not only for the quality of their designs and fabrics, but also for their reactivity and respect of deadlines.
Indeed, three months later, Belle en Blanc calls me to try MY dress. It is just a delight to discover it again and we proceed to small adjustments. A week later, it is with my precious dress that I embark on a plane to the USA, where I get to celebrate my wedding. On the day, I felt like a real princess and my husband compared me with a Greek goddess. He also found “us” (the dress and me) beautiful! Enjoy! »
