Beautiful bride Justine and her new husband Benoit were married this summer with an intimate gathering of their loved ones in Touraine, France. Decorated with fresh flowers in a colour palette of greens and whites with hints of pastels, the venue provided the perfect setting for an elegant, classic wedding.
Justine knew she wanted a timeless and sophisticated wedding dress. We’re so pleased that her search took her to our wonderful stockist Melody Nelson in Namur, Belgium. Here, Justine fell in love with the Oliver dress and, intrigued by the possibility of transforming her look from day to night, she loved the idea of pairing it with the Christian overskirt for her ceremony look.
“The Melody Nelson team provided excellent advice and invaluable help in choosing my wedding dress,” Justine said. “They helped me find the perfect ensemble that matched my personality and style. I chose the Oliver dress and Christian skirt for their exquisite beauty and versatile design. The Oliver dress embodies timeless elegance with its beautiful draping that enhances my natural silhouette. I especially love the option of adding a detachable overskirt for a playful twist on the dance floor, allowing me to customise my look perfectly.“
“The versatility of the Oliver dress caught my attention, especially with the option to attach a detachable overskirt. This feature allowed me to effortlessly transition my look from the ceremony to the reception, perfectly aligning with my desire for sophistication and practicality. The skirt features a flowing A-line silhouette that radiates grandeur and regal charm. When paired together, the Christian skirt transforms the bridal ensemble into something truly enchanting, blending timeless sophistication with contemporary flair. All the guests were mesmerized by the dress, especially the Christian skirt.”
Justine wore pearl and zirconia earrings and a family heirloom ring as an added heartfelt touch. To complete the look, she chose a bridal bouquet featuring white and green tones and hints of pastels.
The Oliver dress and Christian skirt truly look like they were made for Justine, and could not have been more perfect for the classic and timeless look she envisioned for her special day. She looks stunning! I wish her and new husband Benoit a wonderful future together.
Love,
Kate & the Halfpennys xxx
