Kochani! Wiedząc, że część Waszych najbliższych nie mogła dolecieć z Australii, postanowiliśmy wrzucić nieco bardziej obszerną zapowiedź Waszego reportażu ślubnego niż zazwyczaj. Ilość miłości i radości jaką emanujecie starczyłaby na tuzin ślubów, a nam dała energię do pracy przez 14 godzin jakie mieliśmy szczęście z Wami spędzić. Gratulacje i do zobaczenia!
I coś więcej o piórkach, o które pyta nas mnóstwo osób! Ania, która etolę zrobiła tak o niej pisze: “Mam sentyment do tych piórek, które miała na sobie Ewa – to była pierwsza etolka ślubna jaką wykonałam:) i ona dała dobry początek temu piórkowemu zainteresowaniu.
Suknie ślubne zazwyczaj są białe i czasem bardzo trudno jest zgrać ze sobą dodatki o tym samym odcieniu bieli. Pióra dają ogromne możliwości kolorystyczne. Można je farbować no różne kolory ale nigdy nie uzyska się jednolitej barwy. W ramach jednego koloru uzyskuje się dużo odcieni przez co stają się idealnym łącznikiem z pozostałymi dodatkami a przede wszystkim z butami.”
Dear Ewa and Ben, knowing that some of your loved ones couldn’t make it to your wedding, we decided to give them a treat and publish a larger preview than we normally do 😉 The amount of love and joy that you radiate could be spread to a dozen weddings and it gave us energy to work through the fourteen hours we were lucky to spend with you. Congratulations and all the best!

Here’s what our Bride remembers about that special day. Ewa, t hank you for sharing this story with us!
We organized our wedding in six months. Weddings are never easy, but with the help of my beautiful bridesmaid’s, Pałac Sobańskich’s crew and both our parents, my husband and I managed to arrange almost everything well in advance of the big day.
Word of advice, organizing music and groomsman’s ties need longer than you think!!
I gave my tailor – Mrs Kwaśniewska really hard time, as I kept on loosing weight and every time I would try on my dress, she would have to retailor it as it was too big. Even the night before the wedding she had to adjust it in few places. Luckily all went well and the dress was perfect for the big day.
All was great fun. Our wedding was basically a whole week celebration, as big part of our friends travelled from overseas and most of them spent at least one week in Warsaw. We organized accommodation for them in the same hotel and basically every evening the Westin’s lobby was monopolized by our family and friends. Pity we couldn’t afford White Smoke for the whole week!
White Smoke are awesome and we easily found them on internet. We were taken by their stunning pictures and they were actually the first point ticked off our wedding list. Dorota and Michał are really friendly, easy to cooperate and professional. On our wedding day we could hardly feel their presence although they managed to take a whole lot of awesome pics. Thank you guys!
