Get married in Spain : my first visit

In a previous post, I explained to you that some clients asked me to organise a wedding in the south of Spain : they want to get married in Spain because they really love this country and venues look amazing. So, I’ll describe to you some venues we visited. At the beginning, we selected 30 different places and the bridal couple decided to visit 7 of them. The one I am going to show you is located very closed to Sevilla.  It’s a wonderful white property with a luxurious garden.  

This is also an historical place, built 700 years ago. The story of the place is closely linked with the history of the country, especially with the Arab presence during centuries in this area. Given that the architecture is a beautiful mix between Arab and European culture. That is also the reason why this couple want to get married in Spain.

A French wedding ceremony

Many of our readers ask me questions about the French wedding ceremony. If you want to do a ceremony outside for your wedding, there is no concrete rule to follow. Indeed, French don’t organise ceremonies outside for their wedding. Usually, they go to the church and to the City Hall.  But French bridal couples are more and more keen on doing an outside ceremony in addition to the civil one at the City Hall. They call this kind of ceremony : an American wedding ceremony ! 

So here is an example of a ceremony we planned for an American and Irish couple in the south of France. It’s not a French wedding ceremony but we took advantage of the landscape to customise the event especially for the bride and the groom. It took place in a wonderful garden surronded by olive trees and vineyard. So as you can see, we kept the natural decor. Continue reading ‘A French wedding ceremony’

A bollywood wedding decoration

I have to plan a wedding for a French couple in Monaco. They wanted to create a bollywood wedding decoration. So I began to work with my team about this specific decoration and we felt excited. Indeed compared to traditional weddings, planning an Indian wedding is very different. I mean you have to choose different colors : forget about white ! Welcome pink, orange, purple, red, yellow. I would like to share with you my inspirations for this bollywood wedding decoration.

Flowers are also very important in an Indian wedding decoration but they are very different from European wedding. The shapes and the colors are warm. There are many garlands, which are perfect to create easily a decoration.

This is a real traditional art in India. The results looks fabulous and I think we have to use the garlands for our bollywood wedding decoration.  I don’t know how exactly yet but this is for me the main point ! It can be done for the cocktail time, or at the entrance of the ceramony area…an original way to welcome guests. Continue reading ‘A bollywood wedding decoration’
