Claire — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 05:57:43 +0000

If you’re looking for a wedding venue in French provence, I can suggest you this casual and charming vineyard in French provence. In fact, the old stones building is located on the middle of a vineyard. This wedding venue is really the place to be if you want to realise a casual wedding, with great food and beautiful landscapes.

One of the good point of this wedding venue in French provence is that you can accomodate 10 persons on site and there are hotels not very far from the vineyard. The second good point is that the owners are in charge of the catering and they can create a wedding menu for a very affordable price. As a matter of fact, you can choose among 3 menus between 75€ and 100€ per person. You don’t have to add a rental price for the wedding venue, especially if you book the rooms for you or your guests.

As you can imagine, in this vineyard in the French Provence, we are far from the very sophisticated luxury places you can see on the coast. Anyway, this wedding venue is not very far from the sea (25 minutes by car), so you can organise a brunch on a beach after the wedding party ! I think you can totally stay a few days before and after your wedding there and enjoy the French provence and the good wines of the vineyard !

A very exclusive venue for a very intimate wedding in Paris

Claire — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 05:17:50 +0000

I discovered this very exclusive venue in Paris weeks ago and I have to say that this is an ideal place if you dream of a very intimate wedding in Paris. Indeed, this property is located very closed to the Eiffel Tower : you can see from the gardens and from the terrace. This is so romantic, especially because you can organise an outside ceremony in the gardens !

Anyway, this exclusive venue can be rented only for intimate wedding in Paris. As a matter of fact, the venue can welcome 25 guests for a seated dinner and 50 persons if it’s a finger food dinner. The music must stop at midnight. Consequently this exclusive venue is more appropriate if you want to organise a small event with the closest friends.

The other good points are first, the kindness of the saleswoman. She wants to keep the spirit of this exclusive venue and welcome very elegant events. You’ll be charmed by her help. Secondly, there is on the second floor a beautiful bedroom which you can rent for the bride. The decoration is just amazing because it has be done in honor of Christian Dior ! Why ? I can’t tell you everything but this exclusive venue is linked to Christian Dior !

Last but not least, the price for an intimate wedding in Paris is affordable, given the location and the property. So feel free to ask us more information about this exclusive venue in Paris !

A new and romantic wedding venue in France

Claire — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 05:03:56 +0000

This romantic wedding venue in France is new. It just opened this month and I have the chance to visit it 2 weeks ago. There is no doubt that this new wedding venue in France will welcome many beautiful and elegant weddings. I am going to explain to you why this new reception room is just perfect if you dream of a wedding in France.

First, this romantic wedding venue in France is really easy to reach, especially if your guests come from all around the world. Indeed, you have to drive 20 minutes from Nice airport to arrive at this new wedding venue in France. Secondly, as we are on the French Riviera, this romantic wedding venue has a nice seaview. When you’re on the terrace or inside, you can see the Mediterranean sea.

Thirdly the decoration of this new wedding venue in France is just amazing. Look at the ceiling and the chandeliers. Focus on the marble floor. Everything have been done to create a romantic and very stylish atmosphere. Last but not least, this romantic wedding venue in France is managed by one of the most famous catering company in France. So you can be confident without any doubt with the professionalism of the staff !

The only bad point I saw in this romantic wedding venue in France is not the price. It’s quite fair regarding the place and the caterer. The road is very closed to this new wedding venue in France and even if there is not a lot of traffic, people can see you and your guests when you’re on the terrace !

Wedding decor : choose rectangular table

Claire — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 05:15:41 +0000

I have to say that this is only my personal opinion, but I love wedding rectangular table. Indeed I think you can create much more original wedding decor with this kind of tables, compared to round tables. Consequently I selected some pictures of wedding decor with rectangular table in order to show you what you can do with it.

Of course, I believe that a wedding rectangular table is adequate with a small wedding. If you have less than 100 guest, the wedding decor with rectangular table is really stunning. if you are more numerous, I advice to stick to round tables. You don’t have to put too many or too long rectangular tables in your wedding decor. But if you’re 20, one single wedding rectangular table is better than two round ones, according to me. Then, you can create a very casual wedding decor or something much more sophisticated. It’s up to you.

If your wedding takes place outside, in a vineyard, on a beach or just in a garden, rectangular table is a good idea. You can use flowers and colorful table clothes. In my opinion, I think that a lot of small bouquets are better than high vases. Indeed, high vases can prevent guests to see each other. Think also that you’ll have to put some bottles on the tables, so let some space between the bouquets. Time to time, you can add a high candlestick in your wedding decor. Especially if your wedding is by night and inside : the candles will add some romantism to your wedding rectangular table !

Book in advance your wedding venue in France

Claire — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 05:16:13 +0000

My first advice, as a French wedding planner, is to book in advance your wedding venue in France. As a matter of fact, we’re currently receiving some demands for weddings on Summer 2012. I have to tell to most of the bridal couples that 90% of the wedding venues are already booked. Indeed, it’s said in France, that you have to book your wedding venue at least 1 year in advance. Usually the French wedding couples begin to search for the perfect venue 18 months before the wedding day.

So consequently, you’re just on time to organise your wedding in France for May 2013 ! Believe your French wedding planner. I visited last week two beautiful venues, which are fully booked for 2012 and June 2013 is already booked for one venue. The French people love weddings but we also have many foreigners who wish to get married in France. Thus, as there are only 4 Saturday in a month, that’s sometimes complicated to find the right venue for a wedding in France. Book a wedding venue in France can become a nightmare if you’re not in advance.

But if you’re really want to get married in France, just contact your French wedding planner. He or She can have some informations about cancellations or available dates. My advice is also to consider weekdays to organise your wedding. For instance, you can book a wedding venue on a Thursday night. If it’s during Summer, your guests can appreciate this idea : they can come on holidays from Saturday to Saturday and assist to your wedding in the middle of the week.

The good news is if you’re looking for a wedding venue in France to book, weekdays are often cheaper than weekday. We also know one or two venues that just begin to welcome weddings and can still be booked for 2012. In any case, do not hesitate to send a message to your favorite French wedding planner and I’ll help you saving time to see which wedding venue is available.
