THE WEDDING {7}: A VERY HIPPY OCCASION










THE WEDDING {6}: NOUVELLE VAGUE

So, getting married on the beach is established stereotype by now, I know. But that's because there's something so appealing about getting married to the sound of waves, and then beach fires, dinner on the sand... Enough said. Breezy, simple shapes for this one and a fresh colour scheme. I love the idea of a big, chunky plait. Doesn't she look happy? You could be, once again, unconventional, and wear these cute lace espadrilles, or you could go barefoot...






THE WEDDING {5}: VERY OYSTERS AND CHAMPAGNE


If traditional is your kind of thing, then this is the wedding for you. It's just about ready for a pumpkin carriage.





THE WEDDING {4}: ON DIRAIT LE SUD...

Now for a place close to my heart - we'll be heading to a Southern olive orchard for our next wedding. As in the previous post, I'm thinking a dress that isn't quite white. I love this one for the detailing. Top it off with little flat gold shoes, because you couldn't dance in an orchard without them... ;) Hair in a complex form of plait and no jewellery. Olives that burst with sun, Peaches in crates and dancing fit for high summer.








PLUTOT RIVIERA OU GARD?

Catholic or Protestant? It all boils down to what side of the river you're on. On the one hand the subdued colours of Uzes, or the flamboyancy of Arles. Are you more Carven or Christian Lacroix? Here is a few of the places you should visit. They're all slightly off the beaten track.


Tarascon, Chateau St Privat, Grasse, Roussillon, Lagrasse, Avignon

THE WEDDING {3}: UN PEU ROCK


For the third wedding in this series, I thought I'd go for something weird and wonderful. So I thought, pinstriped deckchairs? bring it on. Wedges? Pop culture food with a twist, like tuna burgers with sprouts and wasabi, sweet potato fries (I've heard they're great with chocolate sauce), panna cotta with balsamic sauce strawberries - yep, yep, yep. As for the gown, you could play with length. I love this net pointille specimen, and the beige hue. The high ponytail Is practical and would give the whole ensemble great allure. For a more tame approach, you could go with some simple black stilettos or flats.


















THE WEDDING {2}: UN PEU BOBO


For an oh-so-hipster wedding, take it to Paris, with an unconventionally short, structured dress, and yes, those are little black lace booties (aren't they cute?), a top-bun cum beehive, ultra-feminine hair ornament and a rooftop reception. Dancing by the city lights far into the evening.
