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!
