Remembrance of Things Past ~ Shell Belle Couture Wedding Lingerie

April 12, 2021

I met Michelle Blenkinsopp-Guild, founder of Shell Belle Couture, shortly after she launched her luxury collection in 2010. I was immediately smitten. Her beautiful bridal designs, created in England, are lingerie masterpieces. Composed with European silks, tulles, and leavers laces, they are heirloom pieces that hark back to a time when precious underpinnings were all the rage. I imagine a scene out of The Great Gatsby, where elegance, romance and sensuality collide in a grandiose dream.

Yes, the affair was postponed until Spring 21, but it is finally here.

March 24, 2020

These are difficult times, for certain. The cancellation of a wedding pales compared to the flood of fear, but still, when a girl has a serious dream and must wake up to reality, it can be disconcerting.

It’s all about the anticipation culminating in one exquisite moment and a lifetime of memories. Maybe at this very disconcerting juncture in our lives right now, a bit of fantasy could be a welcome distraction.… Read More

Here at Lingerie Briefs we’ve discussed the fine line between lingerie and bridal design on several occasions, with their similarities being a heavy dose of femininity, the use of gorgeous laces, and their overall elegance. But there are some bridal designs that take the comparisons a step further; for instance corset detailing, slip dress silhouettes or the use of sheer (revealing) silk. One can’t deny the symbiosis of these two creative disciplines. … Read More
