FRIDAY’S FAB 5

By flyawaybride | March 30, 2012 | FRIDAY'S FAB 5, INSPIRATION | 1 Comment

Oh happy Friday! Happier for me as I’m off on my holidays today! I couldn’t jet off today without our usual weekly roundup! We started off last Saturday with a Texan fete that incorporated many wedding traditions throughout the world. Monday, we featured An English Rose styled shoot…

Then on Tuesday we were in Zion Park in Utah for one sunny breathtaking wedding outdoors. Wednesday, we were back to Europe and in my favourite city, Paris for a swoon worthy engagement shoot…

And yesterday then we were loving a jam packed Trash the Dress session in Portugal.

Which bring us to Friday’s FAB 5, destination wedding links from around the web…

✈ A San Francisco City Hall Elopement - So simple, so beautiful!

✈ A Destination Inspired Florida Wedding - A beautiful fusion of French and Indian Cultures.

✈ Tori & Remi’s Personalized Travel Engagement – Beach, balloons and vintage luggage… love it!

✈ Dreamy Destination Gowns – Be Inspired.

✈ A Beautiful Destination Wedding in Mexico - Peach and Parasols

Unfortunitely due to some technical difficulties our FAB 5 is cut short today but we promise it will be back better than ever next week.

Have a great weekend!

Fridays FAB 5

This week Fly Away Bride really took to the skies. On Saturday we featured the wedding of Jenessa and Trey who got married in a Hot Air Balloon. Pamela put together some destination friendly wedding decor inspiration on Monday using very romantic ribbons.

Weddings are “once in a lifetime” events but we brought a whole new meaning to the phrase on Tuesday, all thanks to Luna Rosa. Fancy saying “I do” whilst soaring high over the Tuscan Hills in a hot air balloon, listening to a live performance by Andrea Bocelli? Thought so.. check out the feature here!

If you are thinking about getting married in France, our Wedding Guide to Paris was featured on Wednesday. It’s nearly everything you need to know about planning a wedding in the City of Love. Regular updates will be made so be sure to bookmark this one.

Yesterday we were back in sunny Portugal where Lounge Fotografia shared Brian and Vera’s destination wedding with us.

Hello FAB 5 Friday again and our usual destination wedding round up from around the web.

✈ American girl and Irish groom – This couple planned their Irish wedding from NYC

✈ Follow a destination bride! - Great post if you are thinking of having your own destination wedding

✈ A Destination Engagement – Dreamy Cancun!

✈ A Wedding in Germany - A Country we haven’t quite made it to yet, it’s only a matter of time!

✈ A Portugese Couple with African roots – Equals one big party!

I’m not really a January person – the minute Christmas is over, my love for winter takes a complete nose dive and all I long for is some colour to come back into my life. That we have to wait another few weeks for nature to deliver, I thought we should take advantage of the head start and so today, we have 5 FAB, fresh and very colourful flower accessorize that just might be what you are looking for to complete that Spring Bride / Bridesmaid Look.


All of these beautiful looks are by Twigs & Honey. They also have a stunning collection of Bridal Headpieces that are well worth a look.

Have a great weekend everyone! x

An Artistic Destination Parisian Engagement by Jacquelyn Poussot Photography

I love engagement shoots and even more so destination engagement shoots, I think it’s so nice for a couple to visit a city or destination that they love and is special to them and have their time there documented. All too often on a romantic break you return with one picture of you, one picture of me, maybe a few of the two of you that the waiter took on request but very rarely a really beautiful picture of you as a couple. By planning a destination engagement shoot while on a romantic break or a wedding planning trip you’re sure to have beautiful pictures of the two of you as a couple to treasure for years to come and remind you of your time in that special destination. Randy and Diana obviously had the same thoughts when they took advantage of their friends wedding celebrations in Paris in October 2011…

Randy and Diana had just gotten engaged when friends of theirs announced that they would be married in Paris Fall of 2011. Excited for the international affair, they decide to take advantage of gorgeous French backdrop, and make their engagement portraits in the City of Lights…

They chose international wedding photographer Jacquelyn Poussot to make their photos in the gorgeous Musee de L’orangerie – home of one of the most exquisite collections of Claude Monet’s Water Lilie paintings. The oval shape gallery lends itself to the most dynamic backdrop… even for Paris.

Julia and Marcio_090

We are excited this morning to bring you our first love shoot on Fly Away Bride. Meet Júlia and Márcio, they are from Brazil. Earlier this year, they travelled all the way to France and to part document their trip, they decided to engage the services of Ricardo Vieira to capture their happiness in the one of the most romantic cities in the world.

Márcio and Júlia’s love story started developing a little while before they met each other as Márcio explains. “Júlia used to dance with my sister in the same dance group. My sister had always wanted to go to the Caribbean and asked her dance troupe to see if any of them had any interest in joining her. Júlia loved the idea as she loves to travel and so they decided to take a trip to Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic. The first time I met Julia was when I dropped her and my sister to the airport”

Today we have an intimate wedding in the city of love to share with you. Jennifer and Stefan live in Huddinge, near Stockholm, Sweden but wanted something a bit different for their wedding. They both really love Pairs, and decided it would be the perfect destination for their wedding. They planned a very intimate celebration with just their son Hampus and about 20 of their closest family and friends who all travelled from Stockholm to celebrate with them.

To begin their wedding day they met with photographer Cherrie Coutts at Trocadero, with amazing views of the Eiffel Tower, to capture their first look!

I was swooning over Ludgero & Jessica’s Parisian Engagement Shoot photographed by Caught The Light. Oh la la!

Yesterday I was delighted to introduce the very talented Bartek Witek Photography.

Ludgero & Jessica’s Parisian Engagement Shoot by Caught The Light

When I saw Caught The Light’s sneak peek of Ludgero and Jessica’s engagement shoot in ‘Gay Paree’ with the Eiffel Tower in the background I immediately emailed Chloe to ask if I could feature the shoot on Fly Away Bride. Where could be a more perfect location for a destination engagement shoot than Paris!

Jessica was living in France, whilst Ludgero was in Australia, so it was only fitting that we went to Paris for their pre-wedding photos before they moved to London to share their first home together.
