BHLDN

Have you heard of BHLDN, pronounced "Beholden", meaning "to keep" in Dutch? It's a new e-shop for everything wedding (related to fashion that is), brought by the team behind Anthropologie. 

Well, it opened on Monday, and everything look absolutely beautiful!!! Some of their products could also really work for non wedding related parties. They even have gorgeous lingerie and some lovely shoes that I wouldn't mind wearing every day:)

Unfortunately, they only ship to the USA and Canada at the moment, but one can only hope they will extend shipping very soon... 

*****************************************************

Avez-vous entendu parler de BHLDN, prononcé «beholden», qui signifie «garder»en néerlandais? Il s'agit d'une nouvele e-boutique dédiée à l'univers du mariage (mode et accessoires), crée par l'équipe derrière Anthropologie.

Eh bien, ils ont ouvert lundi, et tout y est absolument ravissant! Certains de leurs produits pourraient également aussi marcher pour des fêtes et soirées.

Il y a même de la superbe lingerie et de très belles chaussures que ça ne me dérangerait pas porter tous les jours:)

Malheureusement, ils n'expédient qu' aux Etats-Unis et au Canada pour le moment,mais on peut toujours espérer qu'ils étendront leur portée très bientôt ...

bagatelles&co in Get Married magazine!

Hello!
Thank you all for your lovely messages about my etsy featured seller interview!!!
It's been a blast!
While I'm trying to catch up with orders, here is a nice feature of my Confetti Lili clutch on the Winter issue of Get Married magazine!
This clutch is now sold out but I still have 3 left of the coordinated Gigi purse. This is a very popular one, so I expect it to go fast...

Happy Happy!

Lanvin bridal book

My friend's wedding was a great success! And I finished the dress on time, yeah! I was a bit stressed that it wouldn't fit perfectly as my friend is pregnant and we couldn't know for sure what would be her exact measurements... But as it happened, our guess and calculations proved right, and the dress fitted perfectly! The bustier part is in fact a "corset" type of bustier, with boning and interfacing to shape it and support the chest. The outer fabric is a beautiful handpainted tulle; I used meters and meters of it!

Sneak peek of the work in progress in my studio.... This is the slip with petticoat, realised with tons of cream and white tulle. It was quite a thing to cut it all and sew it together on my small sewing machine!

I'm back in London now and working on several new projects, including some new bag designs for this autumn...

A promising weekend and a lovely feature

I can't believe it's already the end of June! This month has gone so fast, I even didn't have time to do half of what I had planned, but I'm really grateful to everyone who chose to trust bagatelles&co and to all the wonderful bloggers who featured my work in the past few weeks! Speaking of which, I had a lovely surprise over the weekend to see my Azulejos clucth featured in pretty pretty blog Creature Comforts.

One of my best friend is getting married this weekend in Paris, and guess who's making her dress? ... he he it's me! I have only a few days left to make sure it's all fine and fitting well... (oh stress!)  and to complete my last orders for the month. I'll be leaving for Paris in a couple of days, I can't wait to meet up with all my friends and family, and of course, cherry on the cake, to see my friend wearing "my dress" on her big day! I'll be posting photos of the dress when I'm back next week...
On this note, I leave you with some pretty wedding inspiration found on Pinterest...
