Since having been created by sisters Evelyne, Chantal and Monique Joubert over 30 years ago, Cymbeline Paris has consistently remained at the top of the list for brides worldwide who are looking to add a stylishly chic French touch to their wedding day.  From the 17th century mill-turned-design studio located 35 miles from Paris, each year this family-run business welcomes young talent into their folds - to help keep their collections fresh and modern. Whether traditional, daring, sexy or demure, with boutiques in nearly 50 countries around the globe,  Cymbeline Paris still manages to cater to the full spectrum of today’s’ modern bride.

The other day I posted some of the behind-the-scenes shots from the “Wedding in Paris” photoshoot that I worked on a few months back. This photo shoot was actually featured on Style Me Pretty this week, and I wanted to share some of the “full frontal” detail shots with you. I was lucky to be able to pull together a team of amazing vendors here in Paris who were all gracious enough to donate their time, expense and expertise to this shoot.  I’d like to give an ENORMOUS shout-out to  Krista, Masafumi, Maria, Maureen, Catherine & Charles, Natacha, and Melissa- Mille mercis à vous tous! More pictures from this shoot, AND the following day’s shoot in Montmartre will be posted shortly. In the meantime, sit back and take in some of this Parisian wedding eye candy:

behind the scenes of a wedding in paris photo shoot

So, I’m back in the blogging saddle again… Last month, I had the opportunity to work with Robert & Kathleen Photographers, as well as Candice Coppola from Jubilee Events and Beth Chapman from The White Dress By the Shore who all came to Paris as part of Robert and Kathleen’s “Taking Off” photography seminar.  Working together with a team of awesome U.S.- and Paris-based vendors, this group pulled together a couple of gorgeous Paris-inspired wedding photo shoots.   The Big Reveal will be in a few days, but before that, I wanted to share a few behind-the-scenes images from their whirlwind visit. Take a look:
