– “I’m not a complicated girl, ” she laughed, “I just want to run away with you, rob a bank, fall in love and eat ice cream in Paris.” ― Michael Faudet. Meet the bride from our latest Parisian editorial! She’s a modern, romantic, feminine haute couture bride preparing for her ceremony. She reads her vows, sips coffee, has fashion moments in different gowns, and walks with the Eiffel Tower in the background.
Our inspiration for this shoot was real celebrity brides and their styles like model Hanna Mayeda’s feminine “naked” straight-shape Liz Martinez dress and actress Sarah Hyland’s romantic yet modern A-shape Vera Wang dress with open legs. We love Liz Martinez unique style so much that we couldn’t resist using two of her stunning gowns for this shoot.
We chose a luxurious mansion with classic yet modern furniture and a view of the Eiffel Tower as the perfect location for this shoot. The modern classic 5-star boutique Le Dalmatin Hotel & Spa in the 8th arrondissement of Paris, located in a private 19th-century mansion with scenic views of the Seine and the Eiffel Tower, was a perfect match.
The amazing American photographer Alyssa Belkaci, based in Paris since 2020, captured this dreamy day. She’s an award-winning destination photographer specializing in luxe elopements and weddings. The videographer Leonid Smith perfectly captured the shooting day’s atmosphere, the model’s beauty, and the magical Parisian air. Carolina from Vogue-featured Sublime Luxury Weddings acted as a planner and coordinator, ensuring that everything was managed perfectly.
Luis Patarrana from LizGard Events provided a garden bouquet for the bride and flower arrangements for the table, focusing on timeless roses.
The following two looks featured Liz Martinez‘s dresses. The Grace dress from The Other Me FW23 Collection is adorable and glamorous! The renowned designer’s sheer silhouettes encrusted with allover beading and crystals lend each dress to bold, confident, and fearless brides who want to be irresistible and make a lasting statement on their wedding day.
Amarnam Accessories’ elegant on-trend jewelry thoughtfully complemented the looks, whether floral earrings or a classic combination of pearls and gold, giving a modern twist for today’s unique bride. Makeup and hair artist Ekaterina Mignery opted for natural shades in a warm palette that matched the model’s color type.
Liz Martinez is a genuinely iconic bridal designer who has created one of the hottest brands in the bridal fashion scene!
As the model walked out against the backdrop of the Eiffel Tower, her image changed dramatically. She wore a dress by Anne Barge, one of the most respected names in the bridal fashion industry, creating classic and romantic gowns with a meticulous focus on fit interpreted for the modern bride and featuring intricate embellishments and French laces. Makeup and hair artist Ekaterina Mignery couldn’t resist a bright red-orange lipstick when the model stepped outside and had fashionable wet hair. Paris inspires courage!
The split corset beading trumpet gown by Anne Barge demanded a more sophisticated backdrop, and Parisian architecture is the perfect setting. The leather jacket was superfluous, as the model looked like a stunning figurine in the city of arts in this dress.
