  • Paris Elopement: Tracy and Dan from Florida, USA

    Yesterday, we had another small wedding with a wonderful couple from Florida, USA. Deciding to bring over a few close friends and some relatives, Dan and Tracy had their ceremony in the Chapelle Expiatoire on a gorgeous sunny day! We told them that they brought the sun! They might have left with it as well. The two had gotten engaged in Paris the year before after having been together for 7 years. After proposing, they marked their initials on a tree just near the Love Lock Bridge. We just can’t get enough of these romantic stories! Now Paris if forever theirs…

     As always, many thanks to all our wonderful vendors who helped make Tracy and Dan’s special day possible! Fred and Murielle did a gorgeous job of both the bride and mother-in-law’s hair and makeup. Estelle, our fabulous florist, personally delivered their flower arrangements. Tracy thought they were stunning — (and so did we!) Philippe, our charming officiant gave a fantastic ceremony with some heart-felt words. Romain, the driver of that adorable Citroen 2CV, zoomed around town with our happy couple and Olivier, our photographer, for their photo tour after their ceremony. Olivier was so thrilled with Tracy and Dan’s photos that he was only too happy to share some with us (and all of you!) after giving the bride a sneak peek. To see more of their lovely photos, visit Olivier’s WeddingLight blog. After their city tour, Tracy and Dan joined the rest of their group for an exceptional meal at Lasserre just off the iconic Champs-Élysées.

  • Paris Elopement: Sophia and Bert from Hong Kong

    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!

    French Elegance at the Hotel Ritz Paris

    When deciding on a wedding venue location, one of the most important elements is the romance factor.  For some couples, it has to be a grandiose fairy tale wedding with all of the bells and whistles.  Others wish for an intimate setting for only the two of them to revel in the magic of their day.

    For both sides of the spectrum – and everything in between – the Hotel Ritz in Paris is the perfect setting for the most romantic day of your life.

    Located near the Opéra Garnier, arguably one of the most beautiful buildings in the world, and in front of elegant column of Place Vendôme, the Hotel Ritz Paris is the perfect backdrop for your wedding and, of course, your wedding pictures.

    Closing and Renovation

    However, for those wishing to indulge in this paradise, time is limited.  The Hotel Ritz in Paris will be closing for two years beginning in August 2012 for some much-needed renovations.  The last upgrades took place in 1979, and the owner, Egyptian billionaire Mohamed Al Fayed, has planned to make many changes, while maintaining the integrity of the architecture and style of the Ritz.  Winner of the €140-million bid on the project, Bouygues Construction will be spearheading the remodeling, working with designer Thierry W. Despont.

    According to Forbes.com, refurbishments include a full technological upgrade, an extension of the ballroom, additional suites, and a new summer restaurant with a retractable glass roof. During the restorations, the hotel’s restaurant and prestigious culinary school will also be closed. The new-and-improved Hotel Ritz Paris will reopen in 2014.

  • Renting a Wedding Dress in Paris

    We often get requests from many brides about “Where can I rent a bridal gown in Paris”. We are happy to say that Paris has caught up to the American and Asian wedding markets when it comes to the idea of renting a wedding dress or a groom’s suit.  I remember not so long ago ( a little over 2 years)  how hard it was to find places that would rent and even fewer places would have a desirable collection at a decent price (the few places that did, were certainly not cheap).  No one really wants to argue over money, but when the price difference is so minuscule between the retail value and the rental value, it becomes pointless, and some what frustrating for couples visiting from abroad.

    The budget factor is a big deal for many of my clients who are young couples travelling from America, Australia, Hong Kong or China; all locations where the local customs and culture makes it easy to rent a wedding dress that is both of high quality and inexpensive.

    To help our clients and put an end to all the frustrations, we’re excited to announce that we now provide a service in our packages that help you choose your wedding dress. Please note that this service does not stand alone, but can be included in your customizable elopement or wedding package. We work directly with a supplier that’s international and understands the customs of our foreign clientele.

    We would be glad to organize your wedding photoshoot for you in Paris including the dress, tuxido, photography as well as hair and make up with our selective vendors.
