I’ll tell you the story of my Italian wedding. One year and a half, an American woman ask me to help her planning her wedding in Italy. At the very beginning I wasn’t sure because I am not a specialist of Italy. But we had spent so many times speaking about decoration that she told me she only trusted me. So I accepted this new challenge.
I found and met wonderful suppliers which help me to give birth to a specific decoration. Indeed, for this Italian wedding, we spoke a lot with the bride about the decoration. We were both detailed-oriented and the providers followed us.
We created 3 different decoration : burgundy roses and white fabric for the ceremony. Then the cocktail was in a total Italian spirit with grapes and lemons. Indeed we were located in Amalfi where lemons are numerous. Last but not least, for the dinner the colors were white and gold.
To be honest, I am very happy and proud to work on this Italian wedding because the result was amazing !
Lavender is one of the favorite colors for the wedding decoration on the French Riviera, that’s true ! But, to be honest, you should imagine using lavender with other colors. I mean white is nice but a kind of green, a touch of pink and a specific purple can also be perfect for your wedding decoration. You should have a look at these pics !
There is no doubt that your guests will enjoyed the choice of romantic and refined colors. As you can also see fashion and events decoration are closely linked. Continue reading ‘Sophisticated lavender color for your wedding decoration’

Most of my customers who want to get married on the French Riviera ask me about French customs about weddings. So I’ll present you one of these traditions : the French wedding present !
Indeed in France, many bridal couples offer at the end of the wedding, what we call in French : Dragées ! What are “dragées” ? It’s just about sugared almonds in a small basket. Usually the names of the bride and the grooms are written on the basket. This French wedding present is also used for the baptism.
To be honest, I think this is a very old tradition and even French people are not so keen on dragées ! So, I suggest several other French wedding present. Continue reading ‘The typical French wedding present for your guests’
Just before the diner, your guests expect to discover the table where they will sit for the dinner. As a French wedding planner, for every wedding this is a big question I have to deal with. Each bridal couple want to find a beautiful and original way to present the tables and the names of your guests.
First of all it depends on the number of guests. You are not going to do the same decoration for a 300 guests wedding compared to a wedding with 50 persons. Secondly, it has to be linked with the names of the table and the venue. Here are some examples, I liked.
This year I discover thanks to an American bride another way to present the names. As you can see, a good French wedding planner, also learns from her customers ! The wedding has a Provence touch because it was located in the Luberon in an amazing venue. The ceremony took place among wonderful gardens. During the cocktail, the guests had an unbelievable view on the vineyard of the venue. Then the dinner was located in a romantic courtyard with beautiful trees. The bridal couple chose French cities names from the south France. Given the fact that all the guests came from USA, Ireland and England, they really appreciated the idea. So, the bride put in small envelopes a tiny picture of one of the city. On the envelopes, she wrote the name of each guest. Then I suggested her a perfect place to fix all the small envelopes. When guests opened them, they find the pictures and look at the same ont the tables. Eventually they kept the pictures at the end of the wedding.
Last year, your favorite French wedding planner (lol) suggested to a French bridal couple this decoration. They get married in France but they both lived in London. Continue reading ‘How to present the names of your guests : some advices from your French wedding planner !’
