The Bride Wore Lavender

It's a good thing that Sofia Coppola decided to get married in Italy this weekend and not anywhere along the East Coast. She married Phoenix frontman Thomas Mars in the garden of her family's villa in Bernalda, Italy, the town where her grandparents were born. Her lovely lavender dress was made by her fashion designer friend Azzedine Alaïa.  Due to his feud with Anna Wintour, this is one wedding that probably won't be making the pages of Vogue. Best wishes to the happy couple!

The Fashion Royal Wedding

It may not have been held in Westminster Abbey but the wedding of Kate Moss to Jamie Hince was no less royal.  They had the same photographer, Mario Testino, but unlike the other Kate, this one made the cover of the coveted September issue of Vogue.  It was a surprisingly elegant affair which was Kate's plan according to her mum, “Kate wanted something elegant—not what people thought she might do.”  All of fashion royalty attended including Marc Jacobs, Stella McCartney and Naomi Campbell among others.  Looks like brides everywhere will have beautiful new inspiration for their upcoming nuptials. Mazel tov!

Fabulous French Wedding

A friend recently asked for wedding site referrals to help his friend plan her wedding in Barcelona.  While I don't think it would be right for Spain, his request did remind me that I never posted photos from this fabulous wedding in France.  I saw it in Veranda magazine and all of the details really caught my eye. What's not to love about a wedding at a Chateau with Laduree macarons and butterflies from Deyrolle?!  To read the entire story and start drooling, click here.
