Camilla + Pierre-Antoine

A Pink Pastel Dress for a Retro Wedding in Milano with the Best Wedding Hairstyle Ever

Camilla and Pierre-Antoine are such a cool couple! Not only do they both look stunning (ok, especially Camilla – I don’t know what the girl’s been doing with her hair but I want it for myself!!) but I also loved what they shared about the organisation of their wedding. I really encourage you to read their story, which I have to admit, reminded me a bit of our own wedding – especially for the drunk-too-soon part (except that I don’t regret it, HA!). Photos were taken by Bianco Photography, based in London UK.

The wedding took place on May 10, 2014 in Milan Italy. From the bride.

I’m Italian and he is French so the main issues were wine, food and the big dilemma: champagne or prosecco? In the end I won and it was all pure Italian :).
We did not want to have a traditional wedding, we strongly believe that the real commitment is the one you take in front of your family and friends.. not by signing some stupid paper. Our best friend Michele performed the ceremony, we had three best men each and I also had 2 additional bridesmaid. During the ceremony they all said something personal about us and then we exchanged our wedding bands.
Our cake was a dark chocolate one with raspberries everywhere.
We have a very peculiar music taste. We hired a rockabilly band. All the music from the “apero” until 2AM was pure American rock and roll from the 50s.

Name on thing you regret…

The only thing I regret is that I was not able to fully enjoy this moment. I was too stressed checking if people were having fun. I was also a bit drunk too soon. :)

… And one thing that makes you proud.

1) As per the food, we decided to keep it simple and this choice paid out.
All tables (just 3 long tables) were set but there was no service at the table.
2) Every time I went to wedding I ran out of cigarettes. For this reason, we bought a big box of Marlboro Lights and put cigarettes everywhere. People loved it.

The word of the photographer.

I first met Camilla and Pierre-Antoine in a little lovely pub here in London: they both live and work here, and I immediately felt they could have been rather friends than clients to me. Their wedding was exactely like them: classy and wonderful. Villa Necchi was a stunning location in the heart of Milan, and I was totally raptured by the Villa’s indoor. The whole party was perfectly set up by MADA, AFM banqueting and Faglioni Wedding, and liven up by the amazing band The Shakers – best 50s and 60s band ever! I feel so incredibly honoured to had the chance being at their side in such a wonderful day indeed.

Dasha + Lesha

“Shades of Summer” – Russian Fairytale Wedding

The wedding of Dasha and Lesha is a true fairytale. From the design of their wedding to the pictures, when I first took a look at this reportage I felt like I was 10 again immersed in the Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Except this is no Alice in Wonderful wedding theme; it’s the own couple’s universe, created for the very purpose of their day. I have no doubt it’ll have the same effect on you, and though I would like to comment on every moment of their day that was captured, I’m not gonna spoil this one, and all I’m gonna say is: Enjoy! Photography by Olga Plakitina, out of Russia.

The word of the organising team.

Some brides want for their wedding bright, juicy shades; many dream of romantic pastel pink, some need a muted pale blue, while others cannot live without the pristine white. But Dasha wanted a completely different palette for their day, filled with only expressive, deep shades of summer. As for our team, we think it worked! Color determines the individuality of a person, fills their aura, gives the necessary feeling pleasing the eye. Dasha and Alex will remain sunny – yellow, smiling and family. We have tried to make as much expressive living elements for the design of their celebration: ripe pears and apples on the tables, iridescent vases for flowers, candles and colored motley sweets. The impression that everything is happening at the front porch of a small garden, home and family, summer and languishing in the heat of the natural area.

Beautiful Classic Wedding in Lithuania

There’s nothing wrong about “classic weddings”. And to be honest, at a time where non-traditional weddings have become the new trend and all start looking the same, that is one unclear notion… Some people told me that they liked this blog because they never knew what was coming next, so let’s break the routine once more and enjoy this very beautiful, classic wedding, from Lithuania. I may be all the opposite of the princess kind of girl, but this bride makes me wanna be in her dress! Check out the beautiful photos taken by Lina Aiduke Photography, definitely a new crush!

The wedding took place on the 30th of May, 2014, in Vilnius, Lithuania. The couple wrote to me “We did not like each other at all when we met for the first time. :)”; I guess love and hate are indeed, not very different sentiments.

The word of the photographer.

As a photographer I could say that Rigaile & Gytis both are super out-going and full of emotions.
They trusted me – so I brought them to the swamp. The location was already enough to get great photos of couple full of love and personality.
I was very excited all day long.
