Of Shoes, Love, and Calligraphy

 

 There's something so deeply personal and thoughtful when a wedding is peppered with the couple's little notes and doodles. From the bride's bouquet handle, to the invitation, and even on the bridesmaids' shoes, there were calligraphy notes waiting to be read and discovered at every turn during Sheila and Bryan's wonderful wedding. The impact was so lovingly intimate...but in a very chic and sophisticated way.

Rebellious Bride Sheila shares: 

Our wedding is a balance of masculinity and femininity. Details were made to be clean and elegant with a hint of black to make it masculine. It' not all about my dream wedding. We made sure that we considered each other's ideas. Almost all of the details were DIY to make it more personal. And of course the most important detail of our wedding, the Shoesssss! I made sure that my bridesmaids, flower girl, my groom and I will be "Sheilafied!"  My bridal shoes was semi-avant garde with intricate hand-sewn beading and sculptural wooden heels.

Our wedding was 70% shoes and 30% love. Just kidding! My dream to become a shoe designer 5 years ago has been a way to find my forever. It was destined not just to fulfill my dream but love knocked me off my feet too. Indeed, One shoe can change your life. 
 

Congratulations to Sheila and Bryan. May your marriage be as inspired as your wedding!

Rebellious Bride Pat Wears Ivory & White

Photography by Nicolai Melicor

Whenever we get a chance to talk to real-life brides, we encounter rebellious ones who really don't want to spend that much on their gowns. Some are even bold enough to toy with the idea of just borrowing someone else's gown--and it's just that their fiancees or their parents are actually the ones who won't allow it in the fears of being judged as not having enough to provide for the bride. 

We've blogged about Ivory & White several times already but this is the first time that we'll probably be featuring a real-life bride who was rebellious enough to wear one. 

Rebellious Bride Pat is the perfect example that taste is quite relative. You can spend all your money on the most expensive couture gown but look gaudy if you don't have a certain level of taste VS someone like Pat who obviously has the eye for style that she doesn't need a pricey gown to prove it. The way she subtlety transformed the vibe of her gown with those pretty bouquet and wreath, and then you have that chunky Sapphire engagement ring and boom! There's no other word for it but 'cool'.
