Thank you so much to each of you for your French Kiss This giveaway entries – not a single one of your gorgeous efforts went unnoticed and we really wish we could have bridal showered with you all!
Once again, this would not be possible without our French Kiss This Tribe who have offered up the following:
We are all about finding your Tribe and loving them hard, so when a group of talented suppliers based in the beautiful Western District of Victoria banded together, we couldn’t help but sit up and pay attention.
Together, on a quaint little farm, they created a styled shoot to inspire brides to think sustainably and harvest their vendors locally. Empowering couples to take direction from the seasons and using what is in abundance, they gathered local foliage and blooms and set themselves up in a machinery shed – setting the scene for a gorgeous Winter Harvest wedding.
Bonjour bridal babes, do we have something oh – so – exciting to share with you! Are you an engaged gal looking for the most fabulous final fling? Or are you a bridesmaid looking for the ultimate way to send your bestie off in true bridal shower style?
Welcome to our French Kiss This giveaway.
A bridal shower of the most epic proportions. Just think – you and your lady gang hanging out at one of the most coveted and exclusive private properties of the Bellarine Peninsula – Campbell Point House. Your very own private French Chateau in an afternoon of free-flowing bubbles and besties – the most perfect pre-wedding celebration!
It is among the golden Australian outback that fast-growing fashion empire Grace Loves Lace has unveiled their stunning 2015 collection.
In a perfectly-poised nod to our sunburnt country – its rich and varied history, and the vast and beautiful landscapes, Grace Loves Lace has yet again redefined modern bohemian beauty in their latest fashion offering.
Impeccable textiles and luxurious silhouettes – the signature Grace Loves Lace romance beats true in this campaign story.
Their carefully-considered, immaculately accessorised and lusciously luxe French Lace and silks have joined forces and made absolute magic.

It’s a trend we’re seeing more of – and an Ivory Tribe bridesmaid fave. An all white line-up of your best babes is the flavour of the day for a fresh, modern wedding.
Consider mixing textures – lace, silk or otherwise – and don’t be afraid to have a little fun with varied styles – bucking the tradition of white being reserved for the bride herself, means it’s time to have a little fun.
Pairing white dresses, skirts (or even onesies!), with metallic shoes and accessories, pops of vibrant colour – or a gorgeous rouge lippy, will take your girls’ look to the next level.
We love the overall vibe this trend gives to a bridal party – and let’s face it – if it’s good enough for Beyonce and Solange, it’s good enough for us.
