Paris Luxury wedding at the Ritz hotel

We kicked off another beautiful Parisian event with a gorgeous wedding at the Ritz Hotel Paris. The lovely young couple, Lauren and Arnett, are true world travelers and from the moment they were engaged they knew they to be married in Paris. With the help of the Ritz Hotel and our inhouse photographer from WeddingLight, their luxurious wedding day dream was made a reality and
captured in time through these lovely images.

Lauren and Arnett flew to Paris all the way from Houston, Texas last month to tie the knot in fabulous style. They invited their friends and family to come and celebrate their love in the most romantic city in the world. They really made the most of Paris by marrying and celebrating in the five star Ritz Hotel located in the center of the city.
Lauren wore a stunning gown designed by Mira Zwillinger. This special gown from the Stardust collection is an open back lace dress with sleeves. Lauren looked positively ethereal walking down the aisle which was lit up by candles and colored with flower petals. For the flower decor, Lauren and Arnett chose a pink and white theme. Their florist, Anne Vitchen, used spring flowers like pink peonies, white roses and hydrangeas. The decor was absolutely elegant.

After the ceremony, the newlyweds went off for an adventurous photo tour of Paris. Olivier, from WeddingLight, led them through the city and captured beautiful photographs that Lauren and Arnett will cherish forever. They went everywhere, from the Louvre to the Arc de Triomphe. These photographs feature all of the most iconic spots in Paris. Lauren and Arnett looked radiant in the afterglow and excitement of having just said their “I do’s.”

This fun loving couple returned to the Ritz after their photo tour for a night of food, drinks, and dancing. The Ritz organized a beautiful 5 course dinner for the wedding party. Every detail was taken care of including elegant name cards, bouquets, candles, and of course — champagne and a gorgeous six layer chocolate wedding cake made with chocolate ganache, vanilla, and strawberries and cream . After dinner, the newlyweds and wedding guests headed to the dance floor arranged by the Ritz. Lauren even changed into another shorter party gown, by the designer Romona Keveza, so that she could continue celebrating in style. The young couple and guests held their after party at the nightclub Jangal and invited Olivier to come along and take some more pictures as the night progressed. Everyone was in great spirits because what’s more fun than celebrating love in city of light.

This was such an amazing wedding to witness — it was pure joy and elegance. The Ritz Hotel did such a wonderful job of creating this beautiful and luxurious wedding day. I hope you enjoy looking at the photographs as much as our photographer did taking them.

Inspiration: An Enchanting Wedding in the Countryside of Normandy

As wedding planners, we are always looking for inspiration to pull from for our own events. This past summer, our fabulous photographer, Olivier Lalin of WeddingLight Photography, photographed a lovely pink-hued wedding in the countryside of Normandy. Have we caught your attention yet?

Gathering some 250 friends and family, this lovely couple decided to have two full days of festivities to celebrate their wedding.

On a gorgeous summer day in July, guests enter the venue on a candle lit path.The reception was held in a charming garden just a few hours from the French capital. Although a tent was set up to cover the area, it was beautifully decorated in fairy lights, lush pink and creme-colored florals, as well as hanging white wisteria plants for a whimsical and romantic interior. Quite enchanting!

Just outside the tent, a photo booth was set up for guests to enjoy throughout the evening. Isn’t that hand painted backdrop just incredible? The lanterns also provide a nice touch, too.

The entrance was framed with two cream-colored pillars with large floral arrangements. We just love the clean, natural feel! Don’t you?Menus with created with the bride and groom’s initials monogrammed at the top and finished with a bold pink hand-written font for a simple, yet elegant look.The table set up was equally as dreamy with an eclectic array of glass vases and pink and creme-colored floral arrangements dispersed down the center of the table. Mercury glass candle holders were also arranged to complement the florals. As for the tableware, vintage pink floral plates were used with silver flatware and crystal glasses trimmed in gold to finalize the presentation.

Can’t get enough of this lovely wedding? Then head on over to our photographer’s blog for even more photos of this romantic garden affair!

Paris Wedding: Aisha and Ben’s Intimate Park Ceremony

Aisha and Ben first met each other at work. After becoming friends and then spending some time together outside of the office, it became apparent that there was something more. On a family skiing trip in March of 2014, Ben proposed at the bottom of the slope. Pretending to help Aisha with her “broken binding,” he got down on one knee and as she looked down, Ben was there with the ring in hand and popped the question! Not long after, they began discussing wedding plans and Ben jokingly suggested that they elope to Paris. After a little bit of research, Aisha got in contact with us and decided that an intimate ceremony in Paris was the perfect way to celebrate their special day.

Deciding to not see each other until the ceremony, Aisha and her maid of honor prepared in a gorgeous apartment just across the way from the Eiffel Tower. Both were pampered and primped by our fabulous hair and makeup team before our photographer, Olivier of WeddingLight Photography, stopped by for some photos. After stepping into her beautiful blue Christain Louboutin heels and grabbing her lovely handmade brooch bouquet, Aisha was whisked away to Parc Monceau where she was awaited by an intimate group of friends and family. As she walked up towards the bridge, Ben turned around and saw his beautiful bride for the first time. Igor, one of our friendly officiants, then began the ceremony and when they were finished there was a traditional breaking of glass since Ben is Jewish. Following the ceremony, a few photos were taken around the charming park. Then Aisha and Ben were ready for their Photo Tour through Paris with Olivier. After snapping shots around some of the city’s most iconic locations for a few hours, their driver dropped the couple off at Le Train Bleu for a celebratory dinner with their loved ones.

Mozel Tov to the happy couple!

Paris Elopement: Levie and Jason’s Neo-Renaissance Palace Ceremony

Levie had contacted us in March to begin planning her intimate elopement in Paris with her fiancé, Jason. Although they were planning larger festivities back at home in Canada beforehand, they wanted something that was truly special just for the two of them while in the City of Love. Every couple is different, but it is heartwarming when they want to focus on the simple details and make some time for themselves to let each other know how much they mean to the other.

The day began with the delivery of Levie and Jason’s flowers at their cozy Marais apartment. Levie’s favorite flowers were baby’s breath and her colors were peach tones. So naturally, our wonderful florist, Estelle, created a lovely peach-colored rose and baby’s breath bouquet for her with a matching boutonnière for Jason. Then our dynamic duo: Fred and Muriel arrived to pamper Levie for her bridal hair and makeup session. She opted for a more natural look with a cool brown-toned smokey eye and nude lip paired with an elegant updo. Our in-house photographer, Olivier Lalin stopped by for a few photos before their chauffeur arrived in an adorable gray classic Citröen 2CV to take them to their ceremony location. Levie and Jason were looking for an outdoor location with beautiful Parisian architecture with a view of the Eiffel Tower. Right away we knew the best place! A special location for them with just those exact descriptions! Not far from the iconic Eiffel Tower is a gorgeously built museum that first opened back 1895. Surrounded by a beautiful garden, the neo-renaissance building was inspired by Palladianism and exemplifies what is known as the “Beaux-arts” style that was popular in the 19th century. Thus, it was the perfect location for Levie and Jason’s ceremony. Centered among two glorious pillars and an amazing sculpture serving as a backdrop, the two exchanged personal hand-written vows and a lovely speech was prepared by Igor, one of our wonderful officiants. After a few touching tears were shed, the two walked away with a framed certificate to commemorate their special day. After a few more photos with Olivier around the sublime location, their chauffeur picked them up to begin their photo tour through Paris. After several hours of shots around the French capital, their chauffeur drove them back to their apartment for a quiet, romantic dinner to end their very special day.

Congratulations Levie and Jason. We wish you all the best!
