Parisian Inspiration by Corbin Gurkin Photography
Good morning lovelies. It is time to rise and shine and delve into a little French inspiration that is equal parts breath taking and le swoonable … just how we like it. Corbin Gurkin, one of our absolute favorite photographers, was the woman behind the gorgeous images. She teamed up with some fantabulous vendors to create an ode to Paris including Ceci New York who whipped up some beautiful paper goods, drop dead gorgeous gowns by Delphine Manivet and one of the prettiest cakes we ever did see courtesy of Sugarplum Cake Shop. Prepare to be blown away. See the rest of this lovely shoot here.
oh la la lovely. see it all here!
I photograph weddings in France fairly often, but usually I only have a short time there before I’m off to my next event, so when I had the opportunity to spend a few extra days this July in one of my all time favorite areas – Montmartre – I couldn’t have been more thrilled. I jumped at the opportunity to put together a style shoot with some wonderful vendors – both American and French. I was inspired by the romantic style of Delphine Manivet’s designs, her stunning lace detailing and overall antique sensibility. I worked with these lovely vendors to put together a style shoot that would invoke the look of a royal wedding in Paris, incorporating Delphine’s gowns into the shoot. Ceci’s invitation suite kept this idea of a palace wedding in mind and played off the idea of love letters from a queen to her king. The invitation is finished with a royal wax seal and gold cord.
The delightful and wonderfully talented ladies over at Sugarplum Cake Shop created a cake that incorporated ribbon elements, also complimenting Delphine’s designs. We worked in a pale blue palette, consistent with the shades of Louis XVI era materials. Seriously, even if you’re just in Paris on holiday, you really must stop in to this shop – the sweets are oh so yummy! I kept the table design quite understated, using picked flowers and peonies with berry accents. The table was set with French toile fabric and a royal blue runner that I found in Montmartre. Our darling model, Charlotte was photographed in Delphine’s stunning gowns in the rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré. Clos de Lias designed the blue floral bouquet which I wrapped in vintage French ribbon. Delphine Manivet gowns can be purchased in the US at Lovely Bridal Shop in New York.

That shot of the bride looking out the window is pure ART.
I'm a sucker for all things Parisian and loving the blue. Lots of Parisian inspired shoots are always pinks and creams so good to see use of another colour. Plus that veil is killer!
Ooo la la! This is absolutely gorgeous! I love all the blue, the lace, the old-fashioned calligraphy, every detail! I especially love the oversized Madeleine atop the cakes. Pure fabulousness! Can I come and watch your next shoot? I'll even intern!
Love it! Also, the model is drop dead GORGEOUS! I'm jealous of her hair :)
Oh my gosh!! These pictures are sooo lovely

So beautiful! I love all the ultra feminine, French details! The photo of the model by the window is incredible!
I've been obsessed with Dalphine Manivet for months. The only place to purchase her gowns, in the states, is at Lovely Bride, in NYC. Her website has an online shop logo, but there is no shop set-up, yet.
Check out my Parisian Inspiration boards. You may have to copy and past them.

Amazing inspiration! The ring with blue diamonds looks breathtaking! I'm a sucker for unusual engagement rings!
Just another note: Amy Kuschel sells a similar veil as the one in the photos. Her web site it www.amykuschel.com. You might not see it on her site but if you ring the bridal salon, someone will email you a photo. The phone number is 415.956.5657
OMG OMG OMG....TO DIE FOR!
So beautiful. Love the gowns and the cake!
Every dress is breathtaking, as is the setting. I wish real life looked like this!
The blues in this post are dreamy. Antique, but fresh. Love!
Beautiful shoot. Love the colors and the photographs are stunning.
not only are the dresses and photography gorgeous, but i love that china blue!
I'm a sucker for anything French and this does not disappoint!
That ring is amazing! Where is it from?
This shoot is beautiful, it is so nice to see a clean, elegant wedding inspiration. While I love the crafty weddings that are so popular right now too, it is a nice break to see something more classic and sophisticated.
Can you please tell me where you found the ring, I have been looking for something blue, and think that just may be it! I NEED it!
Beautiful, I love everything Delphine does......
