The best destination weddings in the Southeast of France

You are wondering yourselves which the best destination weddings in the Southeast of France are. I can help you ! We are used to plan corporate and private events in this area and I can give you some advices to select the best area for your wedding. First of all, it depends on the period of time. Indeed, July and August are the touristic months. So there are many people and some venues don’t allow weddings at this very period of time. Indeed,  most of the beaches are not opened for weedings on July and August. So if you’re looking for a beach wedding, I would suggest June and September.

Then, it really depends on the spirit of your wedding. I mean, if you’re looking for a “Provence” wedding, the best destination weddings are Aix-en-Provence, le Lubéron, Avignon. You’ll discover beautiful and charming venues with old stones and amazing gardens. There are also vineyards which can be ideal to celebrate a wedding. It’s quite the opposite to a beach wedding but it’s very romantic too ! 

On the contrary, if you wish to do a beach wedding or to enjoy a magnificient seaview, I would recommend Nice, Cannes, Marseille and some smaller cities closed to Toulon, as best destination weddings. Continue reading ‘The best destination weddings in the Southeast of France’

Luxury French Riviera

As a wedding planner on the French Riviera, I really well know this area and especially the luxury French Riviera. As a matter of fact, I have had the great opportunity to plan events in some of the most beautiful venues there. I’ll present you some pictures of places that represent, according to me, the luxury French Riviera. Do you recognize them ?   

This very first picture is the swimming pool of a magnificient hotel. This is the real symbol of the luxury French Riviera. Few people know this hotel and if you wish to get married there, the rental price is crazy !! As you can see also with the second picture, this hotel has a perfect location above the sea, very far from tourists.

As a wedding planner on the French Riviera I had also the opportunity to discover other unbelievable venues. Continue reading ‘Luxury French Riviera’

A timeless venue for your wedding on the French Riviera

If you are looking for a timeless venue for your wedding on the French Riviera, you should have a look at these pictures. This place is so romantic ! It’s located on the hillside and the view is just amazing. On one side, there is the sea. On the other side, there is the moutain.  

This ideal venue for your wedding on the French Riviera is not so far from Cannes. Let’s say 20 min driving. You can enjoy the calm of the hillside compared to the hectic rate in Cannes or Nice. I would recommend this venue, especially for small wedding (80 pax). Indeed, there is inside a room for 80 persons. Otherwise, you need to set up a tent in case of bad weather. Anyway, you can decide to do all the party outside.

The only negative point of this venue for your wedding on the French Riviera is that you can’t play music very late. Continue reading ‘A timeless venue for your wedding on the French Riviera’

You should dare an over-size wedding decoration !

Don’t be shy for your wedding ! You can think of an over-size wedding decoration. The result can be magical. The main point to create such a decoration is just to select only one element. For instance, below, you can see that only the  round lights are over-size. The rest of the decoration is simple or even minimalist. 

Usually, you can select the center piece and decide that it would be the main point of your over-size wedding decoration. The dimensions have to be exagerated on purpose. This is the way to create a visual effect !  Continue reading ‘You should dare an over-size wedding decoration !’
