Sophia Coppola marries long time love

I love Sophia Coppola's style. She's both elegant and hipster cool. That's difficult to pull off. She seems to have an innate understanding of what suits her.

Anyway, this past weekend she married Thomas Mars of the band Phoenix at her family home in Southern Italy. Which, by the way, also happens to be a five star hotel named Palazzo Margherita owned by Papa Coppola.


Her dress of lilac chiffon was custom designed by Azzedine Alaia. I'd love to see a full picture of the dress. It looks incredibly pretty.

Kate's wedding.... Part Two

The September issue of Vogue.......featuring Kate Moss' wedding.
Forgive me for blogging about this wedding, not only for a second time, but immediately following the last blogpost........


As you might well imagine, I absolutely adored this wedding. It completely reflects the bride's style.

 What a divinely romantic photo of kate with her bridesmaids.

Love the pathway of flowers. The florist for Kate's wedding: Scarlet and Violet. You may remember my blog about Victoria Brotherson from a couple of years ago. I was lucky enough to work with Vic when I lived in London.

Isn't this an adorable shot of the bridal party ?

Lila Grace is Kate's daughter

I love that Kate kept with her 1920's feel and had classic Parisian cafe chairs and Art Nouveau chandeliers.

Edwardian wicker chairs and vintage iron table with simple but gorgeous flowers !

Kate with her dad and daughter Lila Grace.

Must remember to pick up the September issue.



Plus, Hamish Bowles takes us inside the wedding.


Wish I could have been a guest.....sigh!

The "other" Kate's wedding

Well, she finally did it. Kate Moss married rock star Jamie Hince earlier this month. True to her own style, Kate looked amazing. It was a fabulous meeting of a perfect midsummer's eve with Edwardian style meets 1920's glamour and excess.

The Grade II listed Norman church where Kate and Jamie were married in the Cotswolds.

Kate in a bias cut gown designed by John Galliano. Her dress featured gold leaf embroidery and rhinestones.

She kept her hair very soft and loose and her makeup natural and minimal.

The tall girl at the back is Kate's younger sister. And already causing a stir in the fashion world with her pretty face.

Totally love Kate's veil. Franch lace embroidered with flowers . So 1920's !

Enroute to the chapel with her dad at her side. Handsome fellow.

I love that she had so many bridesmaids. Kate, Jamie and daughter Lila Grace.
