Every summer there’s a wedding that fills our imagination with some more blue-white-new-borrowed and fuels that hidden Pinterest board.
Last year Margherita Missoni and her bohemian colorful chic countryside wedding kept us rehearsing with our Prince dressed in navy blue. And it was love at first sight.
This summer minimalism was of essence when Keira Knightley wed her beau James Righton. With the help of bridal & etiquette extraordinaire Il Galateo Chic di Madame Eleonora we went through the few pictures that trickled down through the media and we played dress up.
The article 'The Minimalist Bride' written by Eleonora Miucci (the mastermind behind the Il Galateo Chic di Madame Eleonora) seems cutout around the actress’ wedding.
WARNING: everything was left to our imagination, since we have no deets, only a couple of pictures. It caught the media by total surprise for its lack of mundane and reality show preparations. And we are head of heels for that touch of minimalism.
So we can only dream what the wedding ceremony might have been and the celebration ‘filled with love’ as we have read the actress describing the reception at her mother’s residence up the hill. Everything happened in the South of France in pure Madame Coco Chanel style, a few days before Le Festival de Cannes begun.
Ok the dress is no less than a strapless Chanel Couture, simple yet couture. Karl Lagerfeld approved it with ‘perfect’. Vanity Fair listed her in the Best Dressed Brides.
We can’t overjoy enough for Knightley wearing (Chanel) flats: elegant, chic, understated, modern and minimal. We see a trend which we adore shamelessly.
The thinest tiara almost imperceptible but we want to think it’s pairing with the short rosy pink necklace and the tone of the dress.
Rayban Wayfarer: hello!
Only note to the groom: we would have loved a small wildflower on the lapel, although it’s not musician-like. So we forgive. Slim tie: a big yes, and since it’s pastel color, everything is forgiven.
The church small and unpretentious: no pomp allowed, just love and family.
The couple leaving in a small beaten car: honestly limo or an old fashioned 500, love spills out anyways.
Kira, the hop & skip bride, because she’s in love and because she’s wearing flats.
