Real Wedding - Our Very Own Haute Bride, Leslie

A stunning bride with the most amazing eyes we've ever seen.  Leslie chose one of our favorite designers, Haute Bride for her statement earrings and wedding accessories from The Left Bank Jewelry.  Her delicate Alencon lace veil did not overpower her petite frame and we just love the punch of color of the groom's tie and the soft yet stunning bouquet flowers of ranunculous beauties made by Fleur.  This gorgeous wedding was another wonderful event coordinated by Greatest Expectations.
And a grande merci beaucoup to her photographer, Jenn Gaudreau of Jennifer Kathryn Photography!
