Prepare To Be Stunned... By Rime Arodaky's Designs

I haven't been blown away by a Wedding dress designer for a while now, actually since meeting Zaeem Jamal! Until I saw the designs of Rime Arodaky for the first time and wow, was I blown away.  "Rime's bride is effortless, wild, confident and rock'n'roll. All her dresses are made in France with a high end choice of laces and fabrics. To give an edge and some attitude to her brides would be her mantra".  It is so easy to reach for the same old favourites and follow in the footsteps of others when Wedding dress shopping so I hope these images make you feel as inspired as I did. I think they are such fresh designs with a fabulous air of both classical and sexy.

Rime Arodaky's philosophy says it all...

Colour Comes To The Country - Real Wedding

Welcome to the wonderful Wedding of Holly and Josh, who married on Folly Farm in Bristol in March this year.  The energy, warmth and fabulous colours in their Wedding photos tell a fabulous tale about the couple themselves with so many personal touches and quirky ideas. This real Wedding will definitely brighten up your day. 

"Our wedding was by far the best day of our lives. We were exceptionally lucky with the weather, with blue skies and sunshine all day following a very heavy downpour the night before." 

"My dress was custom designed and made by Abigail Westrup Bridal. Having my own dress designed and made for me was one of the highlights of the wedding planning. It was designed to suit my shape and style and along the way we made changes and tweaks so it is truly one of a kind."

"I made the decorations, favours, cakes and invitations with help from friends and family - it really made the day special seeing all that effort we had put in being enjoyed by everyone."

"We only looked at one venue and as soon as we visited Folly Farm, we knew it was 'The One'.  The live string quartet for the ceremony and drinks reception really gave us an opportunity to add a personal touch to the day. We signed the register to music from one of our favourite films."

"The bridesmaids were in fifties inspired floral dresses with petticoats and they really made the day feel like a spring celebration."

 Huge thanks to the wonderful Paul Smith Studios for supplying the fantastic photographs.
