With all this wedding hupla going on, we decided to feature a wedding blogger for our Mamie Blogger of the Month. We were lucky enough to interview Chantale, owner of La Belle Bride~ ‘the stylish guide for the swanky bride‘. Chantale also writes and contributes to the big name wedding blog, Style Me Pretty. La Belle Bride has cute little DIY ideas, like these granola wedding favors which are right up my ally because I am cereal obsessed. Need ideas? Check out the Inspiration Gallery! It’s a great little sanctuary when you don’t know where to turn from making decision after decision. Our FAVORITE thing of all are the amazing weddings that she features on a daily basis! Take a closer look below…
The Face Behind La Belle Bride
Q: What was your inspiration for starting La Belle Bride? Where do you continue to pull inspiration from?
A: I’m inspired by unique, personalized weddings. I think it’s awesome when brides allow their personalities to shine through during their wedding day. Whether it be with vintage themed or DIY weddings – I love details!
Q: If you could pick out 3 colors for a color palette for a wedding, what would you choose?
A: Silver, Burgandy and Navy
Q: How do you go about receiving and posting such beautiful weddings? Do you have an all time favorite wedding that you have featured on your site?
A: I receive a lot of submissions from photographers and wedding vendors all over the world. I’m honored with each submission that comes my way. I have a lot of favorite weddings however recently I featured a vintage, DIY wedding from Manitoba that really sums up with La Belle Bride is all about.
Q: Do you have any great cost saving wedding tips? If you could choose 3 things to D.I.Y, what would you choose?
A: I subscribe to the idea that you should prioritize your wedding needs. Make a list of the top 3 things that are most important to you on your wedding day (eg. Food, Photography, Music…) and budget accordingly. I think there are a ton of great DIY ideas that can help you cut costs. For my own wedding, I chose to do my own wedding invitations, my own wedding music and my own centerpieces.
