Queen For A Day, the Marie Antoinette Way…

Regular fans of the Rock n Roll Bride Wedding blog, will almost certainly have seen the fabulously glamorous 'Rock n Revolution' photoshoot, that featured wedding blogger Kat Williams flaunting her stuff around the streets of Paris in a stunning array of Marie Antoinette style garb – which included four fabulous frocks from the latest Ian Stuart Bridal collection, 'Revolution Rocks!' and a stunning aray of vintage style jewellery and accessories.

This fabulously audacious photoshoot was the brainchild of the eponymous Rock n Roll Bride Wedding Blogger Kat Williams and her long-term Photographer friend and colleague {and Love My Dress favourite!}, David McNeil – both of whom were accompanied by a team of top wedding industry professionals, including Stylist Penny Merricks of Tigerlily Weddings, Photographer Shell De Mar, Hair Stylist Cassandra Rizzuto and Make Up Artist Alison Cameron.

With over 300 blog-worthy photographs to choose from, Kat asked if I'd be kind enough to feature some of the images for her. And of course, I was delighted to oblige :)  Why?? Because I absolutely LOVE what the team have created; an ostentatious display of Marie Antoinette vintage style wedding glamour and gorgeousness.  And isn't vintage glamour and gorgeousness just exactly what Love My Dress is all about?

I adore the bespoke, handmade crown that was supplied by Flo and Percy for the shoot.  I wore Flo and Percy on my wedding day – I can't tell you what beautiful quality their products are…

Venetian masks add an element of glamour to your wedding day evening entertainment – everyone has fun hiding behind a mask!  This black venetian eye mask was Stylist Penny's own, but why not look up Samantha Peach for an exquisite array of venetian mask designs that your guests can have fun with…

I just adore this shot below, not only has this image captured Kat with a beautiful natural smile, but that pearl choker necklace by Basia Zarzycka looks utterly fabulous adorning Kat's neck.  The pearl-drop earrings are by Flo & Percy…

I could dance about the room with glee at these truly delightful and totally gorgeous flower cuff and hair comb accessories, by Wild About – have you ever seen anything quite so beautiful?  Wedding Stylist Penny Merricks of Tigerlily Weddings  did an amazing job in pulling the whole look of the shoot together – Bravo Penny!

I admire Kat for her adventurous personality and love how she is helping to pave the way for the UK Wedding industry to push the creative boundaries and experiment with bold new style…

With Wedding Blogs ever growing in their influence, I predict that many more UK Brides will start to feel comfortable about stepping outside the box and trying out an all-together more revolutionary romantic look for their wedding that taps in to their inner Marie Antoinette :)  After all, who doesn't want to look and feel like a Queen for the day?
