Real Wedding: Elodie and Vianney

This gem of a wedding is almost more wonderful than I can bear. Elodie and Vianney were married at City Hall, then celebrated with a "polka dots and stripes" theme in her grandparents forest. Elodie, a fashion blogger based in Paris, imagined every element in charming detail.

She explained that they spent 9 months readying the forest for guests: they built the dance floor, scoured flea markets for dining chairs and dishes, and borrowed all number of things from family and friends to make their fête come together so beautifully. Even those absolutely adorable invitations were designed by a guest and dear friend of the newlyweds-no stone was left unturned by this creative bride! She worked with a local designer to craft the perfect party dress, and wore some incredible Sonya Rykiel peep toe pumps, while Vianney wore a custom-made suit. The whole affair was photographed beautifully by Marianne Taylor, who is fast becoming my favorite photographer for whimsical, dreamy weddings, and featured on Once Wed.
