A Modern Elopement in Antwerp

Nestled in the serene elegance of the Franq Hotel in Antwerp, this editorial created by Raissa And Simon & Corina Beha redefines the wedding day as effortless, stylish, and deeply personal. It narrates the journey from the first shared coffee to the final bite of cake in bed, focusing on a couple prioritising presence over performance. Absent are the rigid schedules and grand displays; instead, there is genuine connection enveloped in a relaxed atmosphere. With touches of sophistication, minimalist design, and a hint of Parisian flair, this elopement appeals to those who seek a different approach.

Captured by Corina Beha and inspired by the aesthetic language of French elegance, the styling and design embody a look that is both sophisticated and relaxed. The bride wears a sleek off -the-shoulder Prea James Bridal gown with a gentle drape, complemented by sculptural anthuriums – a bouquet that resembles modern art more than tradition. Her tousled hair and simple makeup reflect the je ne sais quoi that epitomizes true Parisienne style: quiet confidence and understated charm. A second look in Harriette Gordon is fun and unpretentious. Every visual detail – from the crisp silhouettes to the minimalist dinner setting – supports a celebration that is effortlessly chic, deeply personal, and free from expectation.
