In France, the groom wears his military dress at the beginning of the day, and then he puts on a costume for the evening. Protocol states that the change of costume is made only when the highest officer changes his or leaves the reception. Furthermore, if the military groom wears his sword during the ceremony, the bride will stand to the right of the groom instead of being to the left, so that the sword does not damage her dress. The bride and groom’s outfits were selected for this shoot to highlight their sobriety and refinement. Jordan Malka proposed an intense black suit with a white shirt for the model groom. It is military tradition that it is forbidden to personalize a military outfit with a flower buttonhole or to change the color of the tie. For the bridal model, La Mariee De Lol Et Este brought a white dress with a nice neckline in the back. Military brides may wear their military dress or a wedding dress, but it must be sober and not have too low of a neckline. Apparence4event created a chignon hairstyle with wide curls to give movement, and natural makeup with a reminder of white to bring out the eyes of the model, Valentina.
