Allison: Real CB Bride

"My wish for any bride-to-be in search of a dress would be to work with Anastasia and see themselves in Carte Blanche’s dresses."

Allison met with Carte Blanche Bride at one of our annual Trunk Shows. She was searching for something unique, that she had not seen before that was relaxed, easy wearing and yet effortlessly elegant. We loved working with Allison and her family. Her wedding in Upstate New York, at Allison's childhood estate was everything she dreamed and the images really portray that.

Atelier Blanche Paris was the only choice for Allison. She wears the Juliette raw silk bustier with silk rouleau closures and the Acanthe silk crepe floor length skirt.

I came to Carte Blanche with exactly one reference photo of an Atelier Blanche look that I hoped would be my dress — beyond that I didn’t have much of a plan. Which was ok because as it turned out, Anastasia was the wedding dress guru of my dreams. She is generous, warm and knowledgeable. The collection she has assembled reflects her sensibilities for quality, style and sustainability <3

The dresses are magic — the fabrics are as much a feature as the silhouettes.

During my appointment I was so grateful for Anastasia's eye for fit as well as her ability to read how I felt in the dresses. Her guidance in that regard was priceless. I chose the Atelier Blanche look (a different one!) for my wedding because it felt the most me.

Everything about my experience with Carte Blanche Bride felt personal. Even the studio, which is tucked ever so slightly out of the way, felt like a room just for me. What a gift!
