Europe Weddings

The sights, the sequins, the sparkling sea; all these come together for one gorgeous Italian engagement shoot that looks straight out of a fashion magazine. But oh no, this is oh so real and it’s making our midweek blues disappear. Andre Teixeira of Brancoprata captured it all and you can see every shot in our Vault right this way!

From Brancoprata… Sirmione is one of the most popular “sights” on Lake Garda, with thousands of visitors flooding in each day to view the picturesque peninsula. The castle and Roman ruins are probably the most popular features but if you are looking for a different angle to see the village, the best option is to rent a boat and go for a ride. This was exactly what Alethiea and Krushi, from Xander & Thea, did last July, for their engagement shoot. And because they wanted to do something special and honor the Bride’s Italian heritage, Lake Garda was the perfect location for an elegant engagement session with minimal styling.

From Darya Kamalova of THECABLOOKFOTOLAB…I have no words to express what I feel about this shooting. It is the most light and delicate shooting I ever did. I was totally inspired with nature: the olive trees of Garda Lake, the endless white stones on the sunset. I was inspired by the beauty of the model Elisa: her endless deer neck, her freckles, sunny smile, light and delicate hands, her ballet on the sunset… I could barely breath hoping to capture all the creative portraits that were coming to my ming, I was exploding of inspiration. And of course nothing could happen without SIBO designs with all those dream pieces ready to create a perfect wedding style. This shooting has no flowers or extra details, I was concentrated on the pure beauty of the girl living in this nature, dancing barefoot in the wedding dress, blown by wind with her veil, smiling in the middle of the olive trees. Simplicity is the endless classic for me. Always was and always will be.

From SIBO designs…For a long time now I loved creating my headpieces and veils, but this year I wanted to create a incredible combination between the headpieces, veils and now dresses. It has been a dream for a long time to add dresses to my product line, and I am so proud I was able to make that happen with the new 2016 products. In love with all things delicate these designs have been created with the highest attention to detail and crafted with incredible beaded fabrics, laces, and hand painted enamel elements. I was inspired by classic romance of dance and movement and combined that with a modern twist, using delicate hand painted flowers, crystals, and modern swirl shapes. The veils in this collection are designed with the most incredible French laces and catch the wind beautifully as they are very light. Combine them with the new headpieces to create a real statement bridal look.
