Chic French Lace Wedding Dress

Amandine had two main ideas for her wedding dress, one her own dream, and the other carried expectation from what a wedding dress should be.
Amandine’s main worry was that by veering towards something a little more ‘fashionable’ rather than classic may not be as timeless as most brides strive for. My advice is, and I think always will be, that beautiful objects will always be beautiful, they can be appreciated on so many more levels than simply fashion, so it never needs to be a worry - as long as you love your wedding dress design now, you will love it forever!

A low-backed bodice, with an off-the-shoulder, scalloped Chantilly lace decollete. The bodice was embroidered with several types of lace that were 'striped’ horizontally around the body, these included Guipure lace, Chorded lace and vintage laces which was pretty with a modern twist, some a little more geometric patterned, and some more organic and flowing with leaves and tiny flowers, with some scattered onto the decollete. The dress has simply smooth and flowing silk chiffon skirts, gently gathered at the back to add a touch more volume and drama.

Amandine and Junior married in the South of France, and their photographs are just beautiful! They were lucky enough to have two wedding photographers; Flora Chevalier of Flora Photographie and Didier Neupap of Neupap Photography,, which provided a wider perspective to the memories of the day. Didier Nuepap has a grainy, retro reportage style that is quite masculine (but allows for pretty details too), whereas Flora’s style is ultra crisp and feminine.
