Short And Sensational ~ A Herve Leger Wedding Dress…

I was brought up to believe that if you’ve got it, you should flaunt it…

Herve Leger Short Wedding Dress

When the great wise one was handing out legs to all human beings, he didn’t really pick the best in stock for me.  If I’d have been given a prime set of pins, you can bet your bottom dollar I’d be showing them off a little bit more than I do 😉

When photographer Claudia Rose Carter sent me these images of bride Faustine and her groom Patrice, I did swoon a little bit.  How many brides do you know who would dare to wear such a short dress that showcases such a beautiful pair of legs beneath? And how many of them could get away with it with such aplomb – casually flirting along the line that screams sexy whilst effortlessly pulling off the sweet girl next door look?

I think Faustine looks completely fabulous in her Herve Leger figure hugging number, a purchase from Harrods, and her sexy ‘Pigalle’ in nude Louboutin heels

“I wanted a simple white dress, and it is actually really hard to find!! I also wanted to be able to wear it again, so it was a good choice given Herve Leger dresses’ are almost the same designs year on year and really easy to wear to any event. I loved that it’s so tight you don’t have to worry about it moving or riding up, it is very comfy as well…”

Faustine and her groom Patrice are actually due to tie the knot with a “big, real wedding” in France later this year. These photographs were from the civil ceremony that took place o 14th July at Marylebone Townhall, followed by a reception for close family and friends at Cheyne Walk Brasserie.

“Patrice and I have been together for over 3 years now, he proposed in India while we were on a Tiger Safari in Rathambore Park.  We saw eight tigers on the day we arrived (which is record breaking as you normally see one in a whole week) and in the evening he just asked me when we were just the two of us in our tent. I couldn’t have planned it better myself! We stayed here, and we definitely want to go again!”

“Because we are both French, we need to be legally married before we can do our religious wedding and we chose to do this in London as we have been living here for some time, but also because the ceremony is SO MUCH better than in France!  It is much more romantic and feels like a movie {to me at least!}. 

We are getting married (religiously) in September in France, and I am now finishing all the planning for the “real” wedding as we have been calling it for some time now…”

“Our photographer Claudia Rose Carter was great.  She made the day even better, she was very approachable and we love the pictures! We got a lot of compliments on them. She was also very professional cause I kept telling her to have champagne but she only drank orange juice!!”
