If you wish to do a wedding decoration with lavender, please notice that you must do it before the end of July. After that, the lavender fields are cut. The lavender is too dry to be used in bouquets. In any case, the best thing is to mix lavender with other flowers in a bridal bouquet and to use small blade of lavender. As you can see on these pictures, you have many possibilities to use lavender for your wedding decoration. Be inspired by this mood board !

Indeed, lavender can be used in a every single detail of your wedding decoration : for the wedding ceremony, for the presents to the guests, on the table decoration …. Generally, when you use lavender, the wedding decoration style is closed to the vintage one, especially if you diplay some small pots for the flowers ! However, as you can see on this mood board, using lavender can be very elegant in a wedding decoration !

I recommend a lavender wedding decoration to all the very detail-oriented brides.  Feel free to ask us questions about this mood board !

That’s why today, I would like to present you a very romantic wedding venue in Paris. The very good points of this wedding venue is first its location : it is located in Paris, so all your guests can stay in Paris. Secondly, you can organise there a wedding dinner for 350 guests and play the music until 4 am !!

That’s very difficult to find a wedding venue in Paris where music is allowed so late at night. Besides, the architecture and the decoration of this place are really perfect for a wedding : it is very elegant and romantic. All the wedding themes can be imagined in this wedding venue in Paris : vintage wedding, very modern wedding or very traditional decoration …it’s up to you !

The price of this romantic wedding venue in Paris depends on the number of guests. To give you an ideas, the minimum price is 12000€. If you’re interested in this wedding venue in Paris, send me a email at claire@eventsandhome.com

The wedding took place in a very luxury hotel in Monaco. The terrace where we organised the wedding ceremony was surronded by the sea. The guests were just amazed to be there and enjoyed the aperitive we organised.  They spent a great time dancing and laughing on the terrace, even if it was a little bit windy !

Then the dinner took place in one of the reception room of the hotel. The bride asked for a very white and modern flower decoration. The florist did it pretty well ! The great advantage of doing a wedding in a hotel is that all your guests stay altogether and it’s easy for everybody. The negative point is if you don’t privatize the whole hotel (which was not possible, this hotel has more than 200 rooms), you have to stop the music at 1 am !

That’s why our bridal couple organise another private party just after the wedding itself in a very famous night club in Monaco.

I know that currently the wedding trends are far from a black and white wedding decoration but as you can see there’s a lot of possibilities with the two colors. First regarding flowers, you can ask your florist to use peonies, tulips, hydrangea, calla …The most important thing is to find beautiful black vases to contrast with the immaculate white of the flowers.

Black and white ribbons or fabrics can also be displayed for your wedding decoration. Personnaly, I really like the fabric for the wedding ceremony, the shape of the structure gives a very elegant and modern style !

Do not hesitate to contact ius if you have questions about a black and white wedding decoration !

The very good points of this wedding venue in the south of France is its location : from the terrace you have a nice seaview. There is a hotel very closed by (you can walk to the hotel from the reception room) and above all the closest airport is at 45 km ! The surrondings are just stunning because there is a huge vineyard.

The only bad point according to me is that the reception room is not very charming. So this is important if you want to organise your wedding in this venue in the south of France, to add light decoration, as you can see on the first picture.

The second very good point of this hotel is its location. You just need to drive during 15-20 minutes and you arrive in a charming village on the French Riviera. That’s why it’s very easy for your wedding, even if your guests are coming for all over the world. Besides, there are plenty of hotels closed by this wedding venue.

As far as I am concerned, I like the decoration of this hotel. I believe this is a very good mix between old stones and stylish furniture. I am sure your guests will appreciate the atmosphere you can feel in the hotel. For your wedding on the French Riviera, you can organise the aperitive in the gardens, the dinner outside and the dancing party inside. Above all, there is a chapel inside the building where you can celebrate your wedding !

There is no doubt that this hotel has a lot of advantages if you want to celebrate an intimate wedding on the French Riviera !

Indeed, as you can see, a bohemian wedding decoration gives you the opportunity to create a customised atmophere with a touch of poetry. It’s less stylish than a vintage wedding.

For instance, you can display staw boles instad of chairs for the ceremony. You add some nice and colored fabric on the top of them, and the result is just orginial and charming. As you can see on this mood board, you can create a bohemian wedding decoration without spending a lot of money !

For your bohemian wedding decoration, you can also add a lot of flowers. You don’t need to put big vases, but a lot of very small vases with some flowers. Use fabric of different colors and add old books as you can see on this wedding mood board. If you need more inspiration regarding Bohemiam wedding decoration, you can have alook on my pinterest (claire jollain) : you’ll find all the links of this mood board and additional pictures.

This beautiful wedding venue is located at 40 minutes from Marseille airport, so it’s quite easy for your guests to reach the vineyard for your wedding. Hotels are numerous all around so, you don’t have to worry for that point. What I really like is that wedding venue is not located in the middle of nowhere, so you can organise easily a brunch on a beach on the day after for instance. What I really like too is the small road surronded by olive trees when you arrive at the wedding venue !

If you’re looking for authenticity, you find the right place. The property is divided into 2 houses. The first one belongs to the owner of the vineyard, the second one is dedicated to the wedding. You’ve some space all around the building but this is the panoramic view on the vineyard and the mountains that give you the feeling to have a lot of space.

The price to rent this wedding venue in the middle of the vineyard is less than 3000€ and you can play the music inside until 4 am. That’s why I recommend you this nice wedding venue surronded by olive trees.

This wedding venue on the French Riviera belongs to a very charming couple, who is very good at decoration. They have created an Italian palace. When you enter the property, you feel in Tuscany ! The gardens are just stunning. Five gardeners are in charge of this amazing property. They take care of every single details of the gardens, from the choice of the flowers to the ormental fountains. You’re surronded by cypress.

If you dream of a very romantic wedding ceremony outside, you’ll adore this wedding venue on the French Riviera. There is a beautiful area in a circular arc, where you can organise the ceremony. The view on the hills is just superb !

The wedding venue is located at 20 minutes from Cannes, by car. There are 11 bedrooms for the bride and the groom and the closest friends and family. The time limit for the music is 4 am and the music must be played inside the main building. If you’re more than 100 guests, you can’t use a room inside the property in case of bad weather : you need to rent a tent. This is important to take into account as the renting price of this wedding venue on the French Riviera is high.

Sincerely, this is the most beautiful wedding venue on the French Riviera ever !

If you want to use lily of the valley for your wedding decoration, you have to take into account the price of this beautiful but very delicate flower. That’s why most of the time, florists use lily of the valley only for bridal couple. You can use the flower for centerpiece but this is better to mix lily of valley with other flowers or to use small vases !

Anyway, lily of the valley for a wedding decoration is just a great idea if you’re looking for a romantic and simple wedding decoration !
