Christmas wedding in Mauguio – Clara + Keiran

The bride and groom's outfits

The bride's outfit

For Clara, the mission to find a wedding dress in two months proved more perilous. After a few unsuccessful fittings in secondhand shops, she finally saw THE DRESS on Vinted. An Italian Vinted user had worn it twenty years ago. It was entirely embroidered for a price we won't mention, it was so ridiculously low. No alterations needed, it was perfect! The shoes were Carven, which Clara adores and has owned for a few years now—super comfortable. Black, very rock 'n' roll! She then dreamed of lace sleeves. No brand or secondhand website had anything like what she had in mind, so it was Grandma Chantal who made them with Chantilly lace bought at the Saint Pierre market in Paris.  And the veil was found on Vinted. Everything was ivory colored. 

The groom's outfit 

For Kieran, we went to visit a cathedral in the London suburbs. They have a real "charity shop" culture there, the equivalent of Emmaus or the Red Cross in France. There are some on every street. After this visit, we found a grey Paul Smith suit which we loved. The inside was embroidered.

For the shirt, we bought three on Vinted and he finally chose the one that looked the most rock star! Kieran is a guitarist, he needed some lace for his David Bowie look.

Acne had given him his shoes for a concert for the brand. They had a dark pink, almost burgundy, detail. So Kieran wanted my wedding bouquet to match.

The Fashion Budget

Our shopping budget was for both of them €270, the 3 Vinted shirts included. Unbeatable! We really wanted to have nothing newEven if it had a few imperfections. And we were delighted!
