About Fri…

Founder/ Editor - Fri Bailey (Pronounced: "Free")

Welcome to the ultimate style guide for intercultural brides and multi-ethnic weddings.  I’m so glad you found us.  Here, you will be inspired by real weddings of interracial couples, along with trend setting design tips and ideas for stylish fusion weddings in photography, fashion design and event planning from around the world.

It all Started with “I Do!”….

…Okay, Maybe Long Before my wedding:-)

I’ve always been drawn to the Arts.  Whether it’s musical or avant garde  theatre, to world music, visual arts and fashion.  And don’t get me started on cinema…there’re just too many genres to choose from.  Talking to others about their travels, family history and cultures is a passion of mine and I’m constantly amazed by the wealth of inspiration out there, and equally stunned by limited resources available for brides who don’t want to steer toward “the norm”.

I decided to start WEDDING NOUVEAU to speak to the needs of brides, such as myself, who are not only proud of their unique sense of style, but who aren’t afraid to incorporate culture, subtlety and finesse  into their multi-ethnic wedding day.

WEDDING NOUVEAU  is  a cross cultural style guide for today’s bride.
It features images taken by some of today’s sought after photographers documenting real weddings of interracial/ multicultural couples that dare to dream outside the box.  Along with tips on different traditions, trend breakers, new wedding fashion styles that merge modern with tradition and creative ideas, Wedding Nouveau captures the unique essence of Fusion weddings.

By tapping into my years in theatre, creative design, and the whirlwind experience of having been a “Do-It-Yourself” Bride, I’ve come to one very definitive conclusion:

Vogue, Inspiration, and Culture can live happily ever after…and I want to help.

Spicyhugs,

Celebrating multi-ethnicity, culture and global style for the modern bride.
