Wedding website gems

Monday, January 9th, 2012

 Valencienne surveyed our brides and some of our most trusted wedding peeps and came up with this list of favourite wedding blogs, websites and wedding shows and why they liked them. This list is based on the style of the site, wedding content and information and photography because without the eye candy these sites just wouldn’t be so appealing. After gathering this info I thought we should share it with you brides to kick off the 2012 wedding season.

Not surprising is that they are from all over the world. One bride told me of her favourite website and I find myself a regular at it too.

A Valencienne Globetrotter: Charlotte and Dave’s Australian Wedding

Friday, January 6th, 2012

Dave+Charlotte photography has been no stranger to Valencienne. The charming husband/wife photography duo have worked with Valencienne to produce exquisite fashion shoots and creatives that have been featured in WedLuxe magazine .They capture the beauty of  Valencienne Bridal gowns with such flair, which is why I was more than excited to collaborate on our next project: creating Charlotte’s dream wedding gown.

The Valencienne gown travelled across the world, landing in sunny Australia for their nuptials…and stunning photos, which were taken by Last Forty P ercent.

Check out Green Wedding Shoes for more pictures of the stunning wedding.
