An Effortlessly Chic French Cathedral Wedding from Cicicici's blog

Jayne, an architect, and Kris, an architectural technician, escaped to Quimper, France for or her wedding on 7 April 2018. The magnificent Cathédrale Saint-Corentin, Quimper, France was the venue for his or her Catholic ceremony, having a wedding breakfast and party within the grounds from the historic, Plomelin, Brittany.

I adore the bridesmaids' exquisitely-tailored gowns. They look so different using their high neck and cut-out detailing. The girls wore all of them with navy suede block heels from and pearl drop earrings.

"I wanted navy bridesmaid dresses as I love monochrome and wanted the easy contrast using the white. We created a palette together which had become the white, black, grey, navy, and blush pink."

"I was looking for a vintage but modern style along with a big skirt to compliment the scale from the cathedral. I like wearing clothes which are simple and tailored."

"The two-piece was perfect having a simple white crepe body, long sleeves with buttons in the wrists, and back having a boat neck. The skirt is a champagne satin having a single bow tie towards the front. The train is made from the same fabric and it is cathedral length I love the color contrast between your top and skirt."

The couple met through their work and became engaged on vacation in Kris's native New Zealand.

"We both worked within the same building and met one another commuting around the train because the office is at Thames Ditton but both of us lived in west London. We share common interests for example rugby, architecture, and travel. I'm half Kiwi in order soon as I heard his accent we hit them back."

"As I was colleagues we took our time getting to know one another, meeting up secretly, therefore, we could have some privacy with no office gossip knowing! We had been together for years whenever we discussed using the next step into marriage. It would be a joint decision." Here

A white chiffon veil, also by, echoed the shape from the gown's train perfectly for any clean, dramatic finish; just take a look at how it flows behind her as she walks. Edgy black block sandals from added another modern touch. The bride wore family jewelry because of its sentimental value, and statement pearl drop earrings.

The couple had officially married in London in March, as well as their local priest worked closely together with his French counterpart to make the pair's day perfect.

"Our official 'marriage' is at Camberwell per month before. Father Corentin was our priest in France because he was local and did the ceremony in English. Our priest Father Gerry from St Thomas' in Dulwich prepared everything necessary for the Catholic church and coordinated this using the cathedral in Quimper."

I love the pair's method of making sure all their guests could relax and revel in the day – hiring childminders and making sure there have been plenty of activities on their behalf.

"We were built with a couple of childminders for your day to keep the children entertained. The kids were welcome because they had traveled a long way using their parents but we wanted both mom and dad, kids and guests, without kids to unwind."

The wedding breakfast was supplied, and also the fabulous stacked wedding gateaux decorated with sparklers were by.

After the wedding cake was cut and the pair had spent some moments enjoying the river-side sunset, the dancing began! Their first dance ended up being to Finley Quay's 'Love Get's Sweeter every day'.

"Don't sweat the little stuff as things go wrong around the day so let your entourage cushion you and also support you because it really may be the best day of your lifetime."
