French Wedding Inspiration

Today I'm featuring some gorgeous French wedding inspiration from Marius & Co. featuring romance and sweet handmade ideas from pastries to flowers.

To the Marius & Co. team, thank you so much for sharing this French wedding inspiration session! It's beautiful!

From Jessica:

Marius & Co. has chose Aix en Provence in the heart of Provence to organize this smart and romantic French wedding shoot.

A poetic atmosphere, pastel colors and a bit retro, a delightfully romantic bride modeling short and long dresses, fresh flowers, some sweet cupcakes. All the ingredients were gathered for a lovely event!

With regard to other preparations, Caroline, our lovely bride, received a natural and romantic make-up combination. For the hair style, Laurent opted for an entangled loop with a rounded braid to accommodate the crown of fresh flowers, including Baby Romatica roses prepared by Lolita.

The bride wore divinely long and short dresses, signed Elsa Gary. Flowing dresses can be worn simply or be customized with a colored belt, suspending lace and other accessories (lace, satin, tulle ...).

For the decor, there is a sweet space with a wedding cake decorated with lace and flowers as well as some delicious cupcakes. We created a vintage and romantic place with the old stool and the pretty wedding table.

The menu, announcement and place cards, made ​​to measure by Mallory.

Marius & Co. is an event agency located in the heart of Provence and created in 2012 by Julien, Jessica and Maeva. Marius & Co. is a family agency which organizes events for individuals and professionals, combining the styles and trends to create unique and memorable celebrations of life.

My big sister is getting married in October! Eeep!

Butterfly Bridal Hair Pins

How cute are these butterfly bridal hair pins?

With spring just around the corner, I'm starting to look for fresh finds that remind me of flowers blooming and sunshine like these hair accessories from Sew Smashing.

Three Non-Traditional Engagement Rings

Even if you're a twin, you're unique in the world. No one is like you. So should you have an engagement ring that hundreds if not thousands of people might have? I think not. I absolutely love my engagement ring because I know not many people have this lovely hexagonal ring by New York jewelry designer Satomi Kawakita.

If you're looking for an uncommon and unconventional, but lovely handmade engagement ring, these are three great choices:

1. Cognac Diamond Ring

2. Rose Sapphire Ring

3. Modern Rose Gold Ring

Ooo Pretty Ring

I think an "Ooooooo" literally ran through my head when I saw this delicate and lovely 14k rose gold diamond wedding ring from Adzia. It's a lovely color that might be hard to match, so you'll most likely have to shop for all of your wedding rings here. But she also offers, this, awesome engagement ring, that's also "Ooooooo"-inspiring.

P.S. What color is your engagement ring?

Light as a Feather

Lovely, feminine, and light; I'm totally diggin' this feather fascinator by Buds and Blooms.

Bridal Hair Accessories

I love these three bridal hair accessories. From classic rhinestones to feathers to a boho feel, they all add a bling factor to your bridal look. They also all work for different hair lengths, which can often be a plus!

I love peach and light pink wedding details. They add just the perfect touch of romance and vintage.

Cathedral Veil

How gorgeous is this tulle cathedral veil by SIBO Designs? I love how it flows and its romantic feel. It really is a really pretty veil perfect for a fall wedding. Just imagine it flowing in an October breeze! So pretty!

p.s. I've loved reading all of your first date stories! Joe and I went to see Zombieland for our first date, although neither of us were sure if we were on a date or not. I'd already seen the movie, but told Joe I'd go with him since he saved my butt on a college project I was working on. I remember rummaging through downtown San Mateo before the movie in order to find Twinkies. I told Joe if we were going to see the movie, we had to sneak in Twinkies, which are a fun element in the movie.
