{What to Wear Wednesday} Destination Paris!

Good evening and welcome to the first edition of {What to Wear Wednesday} of Destination Month!
This week we will be looking at Parisian destination weddings or Parisian themed weddings.
When you think about Paris, you think about fashion!  For a Parisian themed weddding, it isn't so much about the colours that you choose, but the silhouettes and the accents that you pick out for your fashions.  You want to be sure that you look the haute couture part.  Let's take a look at some great inspirations for a Parisian destination wedding!

{Accessories}
For your accessories, try to find cute accents that add sophistication to your fashions.  Look for little clutches, gloves, belts, or even umbrellas!

{Bridesmaids}
Look for pretty looking fabrics, modern silhouettes, and interesting details like high necks, buttons, bows, or flowers.  Also, some vintage stylings can be modernized to create a really unique and sophisticated look.

{Eye Candy} Engagement Photoshoots with Umbrellas

Good afternoon everyone and welcome to another edition of {Eye Candy}!
Bringing props along for your engagement and wedding photo shoots are a great way to personalize them and give them a unique feel. During the Christmas break, I was inspired by a Chrisian Dior advertisement to feature an eye candy post on engagement and wedding photos that featured balloons. Then I started to find tons of photos that featured all kinds of interesting props. So, for the last two weeks, I've been polling my you on your favourite engagement photo shoot props. The competition was tight between umbrellas, kites, animals, and luggage. However, in the end Umbrellas came out on top. In celebration of this unique prop I offer you a collection of some of my favourite photos that feature umbrellas and parasols. Enjoy!
