2024 WEDDING DRESS TRENDS // According to Vogue ✨

Vogue's rundown of the biggest trends spotted at New York Bridal Fashion Week offers a sneak peek into the bridal wear landscape for the year ahead.

♡ Floral Appliqués: Designers like Alexandra Grecco and Monique Lhuillier elevated their collections with exquisite 3D floral appliqués, reinventing the way we embrace florals in fall weddings. From delicate rosettes to organza blooms, floral accents are making a statement on wedding gowns.

♡ Bows: Inspired by balletcore, bows are becoming an essential part of bridal fashion. Elie Saab's collection beautifully adorned bodices with jeweled bows, adding sweetness to the bridal silhouette.

♡ Structural Shapes: Say hello to grand ball gown skirts and intricate fabric explosions! Designers like Esé Azénabor are pushing the boundaries of bridal wear with artistic shapes, embracing maximalism after the '90s slip-style era.

♡ Dramatic Overskirts: Providing options for second looks, overskirts allow brides to transition from a dramatic ceremony silhouette to a sleek evening gown effortlessly. Enaura's stunning overskirt designs promise an elegant after-party transformation.

♡ Bold Color: Think beyond white! Pastel pinks, blues, and even black from Galia Lahav's collection are redefining bridal fashion, offering dreamy and unconventional choices.

♡ Unique Veils: Veils are getting an upgrade with intricate embroidery, standout appliqués, and vintage-inspired lace. This whimsical accessory is making waves across collections!

♡ Pants: Not all brides wear dresses, and designers like Rime Arodaky and Viktor & Rolf are championing jumpsuits and pantsuits, offering chic alternatives.

♡ Drop-Waist Silhouettes: The drop-waist trend is stealing the spotlight with its modernity and beautiful form-highlighting silhouette, bringing a fresh perspective to bridal wear.

BRIDAL MORNING | WHY A CONTENT CREATOR IS A MUST 👰🏼‍♀️✨

For most brides one the most cherished memories of their wedding day is the morning preparations with their besties. It's a time filled with excitement, emotions, and the anticipation of saying "I do." While your photographer and videographer will capture the highlights, there's an upcoming trend that's adding an extra layer of magic to these moments - the wedding day content creator ♡

Here's why having a dedicated content creator for the morning of your wedding is an absolute game-changer:

1. A Second Layer of Storytelling:
Think of your content creator as your "behind-the-scenes" bestie. While your photographer and videographer focus on the polished, staged shots, the content creator immerses themselves in the unscripted moments, ensuring no detail goes unnoticed. I will be there to capture the unfiltered, candid, and raw moments that unfold during the morning preparations. This also gives you hundreds of more memories to look back on ♡

2. Fun and Creativity:
Beyond the traditional photography, a content creator can also add a modern twist. Think fun TikToks, trendy Reels, and captivating transformations that showcase the excitement and beauty of your morning preparations. Every bride should get their Beyonce transformation moment 💍

3. Swift and Immediate Access:
With modern technology, a content creator can swiftly provide you with a link to access unedited photos and videos within days of your event. This means you can reminisce about your morning preparations just days after your wedding.

BRIDESMAIDS // What can you do the morning of, in order to help your Bride? 💐

The morning of the wedding is a whirlwind of emotions and excitement, and as a bridesmaid, there are some things you can do to ensure the bride's day starts off on the right note. Here's your guide to making the wedding morning as blissful as possible for the bride:

1 // Bring the vibes 🪩
Create a special morning playlist with the bride's favourite songs and tunes that remind you and the bridesmaids of her. Include some fun and nostalgic tracks to share a good laugh and create memorable moments. This playlist will set the perfect mood for an exciting & happy wedding morning, aswell as hopefully calming some nerves!

2 // Time Management and Coordination ⏱️
Keep an eye on the schedule to ensure the bride is on track with hair and makeup appointments. You can also help her get dressed, making sure her gown is pristine, and all accessories are in place.

3 // Emotional Support and Positivity 💌
Be a source of emotional support, offering reassurance and encouragement. Keep the atmosphere light and joyful by sharing stories, laughter, and jokes to remind the bride of the love and excitement surrounding her as she prepares to say "I do."

DECOR // The decor for last weeks wedding was so beautiful. Beauty & The Beast / Parisian vibes all around ✨🤍

With everything going on, on the day, it can be hard for the couple to get time to really take in everything they have crafted and designed for their special day coming together. So having images like these to look back on the next day is such a lovely way to take that all in 🙌🏼

FIRST LOOK // Capturing the heartfelt moments that make your special day truly unforgettable.

Charley's first look with her dad, sharing a song filled with meaning (The Wonder of You, Elvis Presley), was a beautiful testament to the love and emotions that surround us on weddings. Moments like these are why I love what I do. ✨
