Once you have decided to get married, you and your boyfriend begin to suffer from stress and strain. Don’t panic ! The most important is to plan your wedding in advance. Weddings on the French Riviera will give you some tips for your wedding schedule.

If you prefer to plan your wedding on your own instead of hiring a wedding planner, you have to take into account this wedding schedule.

Between 12 and 18 months before your wedding, you should :

- choose a date for the wedding day

- find a suitable venue

- know the wedding budget

These points are fundamental to plan your wedding. More over, if you plan to get married on the French Riviera, you must book the venues 18 months in advance. Some venues are really well known ! On the reverse, you may ask a local French wedding planner to find you a wedding venue on the French Riviera that is less known worldwide but very lovely.

Between 6 and 11 months before the wedding day, you will have a lot of work to do ! Indeed, you must :

- book the City Hall

- find the wedding dress

- speak about the wedding contract if it’s necessary

- select the main providers : catering, flowers, hairdresser, transport …

Between 3 and 5 months before the wedding day, it’s necessary to : Continue reading ‘It’s time to plan your wedding !’

Blue is a famous color for everything except weddings ! I mean many of us love blue. Anyway regardin wedding decoration, few grooms and brides think about a blue wedding. What a pity !

Blue is a great color even if it’s said that blue is cold color. Sometimes blue can be really perfect to make the wedding decoration. Indeed, when I plan weddings on the French Riviera, some of them are on the beach. Weddings on the beach are really special. Blue is the ideal color for a wedding on the beach.

If you wish to do a blue wedding, I suggest you to use blue for flowers and for linen. Regarding linen, I prefer sky blue table cloth or turquoise with white chairs. Blue and white colors create a summery atmosphere, especially for weddings on the beach. The sea becomes a part of your wedding decoration. As George Clooney uses to say : “What’s else” ! 

What I prefer for a blue wedding is to choose beautiful dark blue flowers or sky blue flowers. Blue flowers give personnality to your wedding decoration.

What about the wedding dress ? Continue reading ‘I’m thinking about a blue wedding’

It seems that this tradition about wedding is from Great Britain. But nowadays, every bride knows it in Europe. This European tradition about wedding deals with the bride. The bride has to wear something old, someting new, something with blue and something that she borrowed.

This tradition about wedding is symbolic. The bride wears something old to be linked with her family and her life before wedding. Usually it’s a jewel. The new item is to have chance for this new life. Often, brides decide to wear a new wedding dress. Next, the bride has to borrow something to another bride, who has been lucky with her wedding.    

The blue item represents faithfullness.

Very often, brides and grooms want to make their wedding different from others.  But they feel puzzled regarding the best decoration for their wedding on the French Riviera or somewhere else ! So I decide to help all my readers by giving them some wedding decoration trends. The first point is to choose the main color of the wedding decoration. Once, you have decided which color you wish …I give you some ideas and wedding decoration trends. Let’s begin with a pink wedding ! 

Obviously first there is the wedding dress. When the wedding decoration is linked with the bride groom …that is perfect ! You don’t need to wear a pink wedding dress. You just need to add accessories like flowers or a specific hairstyle. When I organise a wedding on the French Riviera, I recommend that the groom has got also a colorful discreet accessory (tie or buttonhole for instance).

For the wedding ceremony, Events & Home consulting suggests to mix pink flowers with white, cream or light orange colors. White is for the romantic time, pink refers to love and orange gives light and cheerfulness. Instead of flowers, be inventive and choose stunning items like these pink sunshades !

 

In order to customize your wedding decoration, you should take care of the table decoration. Continue reading ‘The most beautiful pink wedding I’ve ever seen !’

French Riviera is an ideal place to do a wedding party on a beach !

But be careful with the cities you select to plan your wedding party on the French Riviera. Indeed some cities have beaches but no sand. From Nice to Antibes, beaches are made with pebbles. It’s not that easy to walk on such beaches especially if you were a wedding dress. Secondly, if you are looking for an isolated beach for your wedding party on the French Riviera, forget about Cannes, Monaco  and Juan les Pins. As a matter of fact, beaches are located along the main road. You would suffer from traffic and also for tourists who are walking along the road. 

Var is definitely the best place to plan your wedding party on the French Riviera. Beaches are wider with much more beautiful sand. Road is not that closer to the beach and there are less tourists along the road. Var is an admistrative region in the French Riviera which begins at Frejus and finishes at Bandol more or less.  The most famous city is obviously Saint Tropez. Many beaches are really perfect to plan your wedding party on the French Riviera. Interior and exterior decoration are often very well customised and above all totally trendy.

It seems that there are 3 main trends in wedding decoration regarding colors. The big first one deals with silver or grey shades. Basically, grey replaces chocolate as the accent color for a wedding party. Why dont’ you choose a pale-grey wedding dress ? Grey is beyond a doubt an elegant color. Use grey linen for tables, add some silver painted branches and lay down some rhinestones. Tables will look stylish and trendsetter.

The second trend in wedding decoration is a summery color :Yellow is in vogue too ! For a day time wedding, I suggest bright colors and a mix with white and yellow. The tables can be dressed with white linen and sunflowers centerpieces. Wooden chairs or white chairs with yellow tulle are in good taste. If the wedding takes place by night, I recommend lemon and chocolate.

When you plan to organise your wedding party, you have very often colors in mind. Our unconscious mind associate colors with events. As far as I’m concerned, white is known to be the most famous color for wedding receptions. Anyway, do we know exactly what colors mean. Through history, dream language, religion and psychology, colors have symbolic meanings.   Let’s have a look to some emblems.

First of all, white means light and divinity. Egyptians used to put white shrouds on their departed relatives. Druids wore white clothes and so on. The wedding dress is white because this color represents purity, chastity and virtue. White flowers like lily or white birds like dove are emblems of peace.

Secondly, red is sometimes used in a wedding decoration because red is linked with the divine love. Red express life, optimism and sex. To a certain extend, red stands for conquest and seduction but also for power. In Peru, soldiers are in red !

What about yellow ? This equivocal color is not easy to define. Continue reading ‘Weddings : what do the colors mean ?’
