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 →

Another charming venue to get married on the French Riviera

Posted on octobre 1, 2008 by Claire

As I wrote before, I’m going to describe to you 7 wonderful venues to get married on the French Riviera. Some of them are part of my favourite places as a wedding planner on the French Riviera. The second ideal venue to get married on the French Riviera is La Citadelle de Villefranche. This venue to get married on the French Riviera is located at Villefranche sur mer, which is between Nice and Monaco. La Citadelle de Villefranche belongs to the City Hall of Villefranche sur mer. This is an amazing venue to get married on the French Riviera for several reasons.

The first point is that this incredible venue to get married on the French Riviera is a fortified place with a great charm.

The Citadelle de Villefranche was used to protect the city from invaders and above all to check the sea. Indeed, this venue to get married on the French Riviera has a unique seaview on the mediterranean sea. When you’re there, you feel calm and under a spell. That’s the second advantage of this venue to get married on the French Riviera.

The third reason why you should consider this venue to get married on the French Riviera is the space. The Citadelle is a capacious venue to get married on the French Riviera with many different areas : a huge esplanade to make an outside cocktail or diner with a privileged seaview, a 500m² marquee to welcome guests in case of unknown weather and a garden with a shelter.

Last but not least, the City Hall is located inside the Citadelle. There is no doubt that this point is a decisive argument in favor of this venue to get married on the French Riviera. Continue reading →

The set up of a wedding on the French Riviera (4/4)

Posted on septembre 5, 2008 by Claire

Last but not least, Events & Home consulting presents the latest wedding decoration area of this wonderful wedding on the French Riviera. With the bridal couple, we planned this wedding on the French Riviera as a film with a script. We wanted to surprise the guests step by step and above all to reach the climax at the end in the ball room. p1010930.JPG

 

The ball room was a little bit too much « countryside » for Events & Home consulting. So as a wedding planner on the French Riviera, I designed a totally new and eccentric wedding decoration.

Thus, Events & Home consulting suggested blue lighted furniture to create a specific wedding decoration. Tables and chairs looked like they were made with ice. My job as a wedding planner on the French Riviera is also to advice bridal couples. They agreed when I chose to add pink and purple lights on the walls, the ceiling and on the two massive chimneys. It warmed up the wedding decoration.

 

The main piece of this wedding decoration was the blue lighted bar. The guests of this wedding on the French Riviera were totally amazed of the wedding decoration and congratulated twice the bridal couple. I hope this wedding decoration designed by Events & Home consulting gives you some ideas to plan your wedding.

Working as a wedding planner on the French Riviera is an exciting job. At Events & Home consulting, we aim at creating an unique and stunning wedding on the French Riviera each time. So, a part of our job is to suggest decoration and products to our clients. Given the fact that, Events & Home consulting also works for corporate events in France, our teams are aware of any new products in the events market.

 

For this particular wedding on the French Riviera, Events & Home consulting suggested to the bridal couple to make guests dance in another place just after diner. Everybody is curious and when we announced that the party took place somewhere else, all the guests stood up to discover the new room. They went out of the first room by the same way they arrived but the decoration was totally different. Our teams had worked during the dinner to install all the lighting.

 

 

The guests of this wedding on the French Riviera were totally amazed. This decoration was a very good introduction to the specific atmosphere Events & Home consulting designed for the ball room.

The set up of a wedding on the French Riviera (2/4)

Posted on septembre 1, 2008 by Claire

Following the latest post, I am going to explain you the set up of a wedding on the French Riviera. Just after, the outside wedding ceremony and the cocktail in the park of the castle, the guests were welcomed in a specific room for diner. The bridal couple asked Events & Home consulting to create a sophisticated and modern wedding decoration for the diner .

 

As a wedding planner on the French Riviera, I suggest them to use only 2 colors for this wedding decoration : white and brown. The white color reflected the romantism of this wedding on the French Riviera. The brown colors added modernism to the wedding decoration. Events & Home consulting also set some amber lights an squared candles.

 

The set up of a wedding on the French Riviera (1/4)

Posted on août 27, 2008 by Claire

As a wedding planner on the French Riviera, I have been working a lot this summer to organise wonderful and unique weddings on the French Riviera. In the following 4 posts, I’ll show you the set up of a wedding on the French Riviera.

 

To begin with, the bridal couple has decided to organise an outside wedding ceremony, which is not that easy in France. So the guests were not informed. The meeting point for this wedding on the French Riviera was in front of the chapel of the castle where the event took place.

But in front of the chapel, a gate was decorated with roses and ivy. When the gate opened, the guests discovered an amazing path with bicentenary plane trees. The decorating of this outside wedding ceremony was romantic with 200 white chairs for the guests and transparent chairs (designed by Starck) for the bridal couple and the priest.

Events & Home consulting also added two huge transparent vases (1,20m) with amazing red roses.The path was also covered with red roses petals when the bride arrived. Continue reading →

Gifts for guests

Posted on août 6, 2008 by Claire

When my clients speak about their ideal wedding on the French Riviera, they often want to make it unforgettable…for them but also for their guests. According to me, as a wedding planner on the French Riviera, it’s important to take into account guests’ expectations and to spoil them. Hence, gifts for guests are significant.

In France, we are used to offer sugared almonds with different colors to guests at a wedding. Little by little, gifts for guests are changing. If you plan to get married on the French Riviera, I can suggest to you some gifts for guests.

For instance, if your wedding on the French Riviera is closed to Grasse, you should offer some small bottles of perfume to your guests. For a wedding on the French Riviera at Nice, I recommend small bottle of olive oil !

With one of my clients, we decides to offer a picture of the bride and the groom for their wedding on the French Riviera. But if you really want to suprise your guest, I know perfect gifts for guests ! Continue reading →
