Jaimie and Michael decided to elope and honeymoon in Paris after tying the knot officially with family and friends in the States the week before. WeddingLight Events helped them make their special day possible because we just adore elopements — they are complete and utter romance! And if you could not tell, we are ALL about romance!
***
The two exchanged vows in the lovely setting of the Luxembourg Gardens by one of our wonderful officiants, Philippe. Afterwards, they drove around town in a fabulous white Citroën Traction 11B for their photo session with One and Only Paris Photography. Jaimie and Michael ended their evening with dinner in a private room, just for two, at an elegant Parisian restaurant. Quelle merveille!
Our grey sky is finally turning a bit more blue everyday now. But just because it’s still cold outside doesn’t mean we’ve been in hibernation mode. On the contrary, this past weekend the WLE team helped Bert and Sophia elope in our beautiful city of Paris! We just love helping couples make their wedding dreams a reality!
Bert and Sophia had a lovely little ceremony at the Chapelle Expiatoire with a violinist to welcome them and set the perfect romantic ambiance. Afterwards, the couple ventured out into town with Olivier and Marco, their photographer and videographer, for a photo tour through Paris!
To see more of this fabulous photos of this adorable couple, head on over to the WeddingLight blog.
Sophia was kind enough to send us a little note over the weekend thanking us for all our help. However, we can certainly say that it was all our pleasure! We love creating happy beginnings!
We just had one of our Real Weddings here at WLE Paris. Our clients, Erin and Stuart (along with their four children), decided to elope to Paris and we were more than happy to make it all happen for them. They had their ceremony at one of the most gorgeous chapels in Paris, the Chapelle Expiatoire, with a violinist who played Le vieen rose as the couple entered. How beautiful!
Erin and Stuart were an absolute joy to work with and it is always great knowing that they enjoyed everything. Erin was kind enough to send the WLE team a little thank you. Here is what she had to say :
“It’s just me wanting to thank all of you at WeddingLight & WeddingLight Events for the most magical day of our lives. I really cannot even say enough for how special it was, and we could never have done it without you all. Everyone you sent who provided services did a fantastic job and were so polite and friendly. We really felt ‘taken care of’ and that goes a long way on a wedding day. I wish I could have met Helene. Yanique and Olivier are just precious, happy people. You all went the extra mile to make it a day we will remember as one of the most incredible EVER!’Thank you’ doesn’t seem to say it well enough!”
A while back, we got you all excited about French lingerie with the perfect gift idea of a Paris Lingerie Tour. But it would be a shame of us to leave it at that and not tell you about one of the top designers out there in the lingerie industry, wouldn’t it? We think so.
Without further ado, we give you none other than Fifi Chachnil.
Fifi Chachnil, Lingerie Designer and Singer
via froufroufashionista
For those of you who do not already know that name, then it is our duty to introduce you to the endless amounts of pink and wonderfully ruffled world of Fifi Chachnil. She is the woman when it comes to designing ultra-glamorous, purely feminine lingerie. Her pieces are more than just special undergarments, but are a way to make women feel extraordinarily beautiful and more self-assured — the way we all should feel when stripped down. Her approach to all things frou-frou can be seen in her choice of luxurious fabrics that are ever so soft and exceptionally delicate against the skin and all in flirtatious retro styles that compliment any woman’s body. But again, Fifi Chachnil items are not your average underpinnings. The skill and detail put into her pinup-up inspired lingerie makes them more than worthy of a special occasion and will most definitely exceed all expectations of you and your special someone.
From deceptively sweet babydolls to incredibly flirtatious see through bra and pantie sets (with bows galore), there is something for everyone’s taste and style. Plus, Fifi Chachnil caters to larger busts with a full range of cup sizes.
Fifi Chachnil has four boutiques, three of which are in Paris and the other is in London.

Also, because February is such a special month for lovers and we know lots of gentlemen will be running through town trying to think of the best possible gift for his special someone, WeddingLight would like to make it a little bit easier for you fellows.
Paris is a wonderful city filled with amazing taste, glamours style, picturesque views, etc. We often hear tourists discussing the best places to go and visit. But to be honest, you can’t really find them in a book. Often, the best choice is to ask an expert: a Parisian.
Although we are foreigners just like you may be, the difference is is the fact that we have all lived here for a number of years and have come to know the in’s and out’s of this beautiful and magical city. If you are planning your elopement or small wedding here in Paris, don’t hesitate to ask for some insider city knowledge from us. We want your time here to be the most memorable and exciting visit possible!
So why don’t you have a warm and rich hot chocolate at Angelina’s, or taste scrumptious macarons at Ladurée. Or, better yet, take a 4 hour cooking class on French pastry classics? Or maybe you prefer getting a taste of the Parisian fashion world with the help of a personal shopper who can take you to the most amazing (and maybe even secret) spots all over town.
Whatever your interests may be, we are here to make sure they become part of your Parisian adventure!
