Inspiration: Marie AntoinetteSay what you will about Sofia Coppola’s interpretation of Marie Antoinette’s story, it is undeniable that the fashion was noteworthy. Romantic, feminine, and sexy, Marie Antoinette was not afraid to forge her own fashion path, and as a style icon remains both compelling and enduring. Of course, what leaps to mind are huge skirts, tightly corseted bodices, exposed decolletage, and lush, opulent fabrics, all of which lend themselves to a very dramatic, extraordinary wedding dress inspiration! image credits, clockwise form upper left: Max Choul, Marie Antoinette, Vera Wang, Marie Antoinette,...

It’s so perfectly styled and we were impressed to find out Katie and her mom did just about everything themselves! Katie found the dress at Salvation Army for $25 and made the gorgeous headpiece.

All that over-the-top femininity and sensational color and detail…everyone needs a little Marie Antoinette. Choosing only one gown for this collage was super hard (there are so many fabulous fr...

A Marie Antoinette InspirationYou know I’ve got a bit of a ‘thing’ for Marie Antoinette right? Well Marie Antoinette + pink hair couldn’t really be more perfect for Rock n Roll Bride if it tried could it? “This is what happened when 2 crazy photographers from different states in Australia put their heads together,” began photographer Vanessa. ”It all started with a wig Rhondda found on the internet (not the 1 we used actually) and after many chats and emails later we came up with Marie Antoinette as a bride. I wanted a bouquet out of the norm and didn’t really want traditional flowers in it. What better ...

Marie Antoinette Bridal SessionWho doesn’t love Sofia Coppola’s, Marie Antoinette? The retelling of France’s iconic but ill-fated queen, Marie Antoinette, was such a thrilling, colorful and amazing film that brings out creativity in us all. We love seeing interpretations of the film. They are all different, and all over the top. Just as our next Marie Antoinette Bridal Session is from Chelsea Nicole Photography. Instead of 18th century Versailles, they chose a dry lakebed in Las Vegas. A complete opposite location, but still visually stunning. Complete with gorgeous floral arrangements, lace, jewel and of...
