French Wedding Style launched in 2011, created by Success Coach Laura Payne-Stanley under the alter-ego of blogger Monique Trulove, a newly-wed more than a little obsessed with French style and weddings.
French Wedding Style was created for Brides planning their wedding in France at a time when there were no dedicated resources for English speaking brides planning their French wedding.
