Press room: Style shoot featured in Pacific Weddings

Anne & Nancy — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 22:44:31 +0000

We had the good fortune to work with Corbin Gurkin on the charming wedding of Faymi & Eric, so we of course jumped at the chance to contribute to the style shoot she had planned for her next trip to Paris. We were very excited to be included in the shoot along with many of the wedding vendors we admire: Sugarplum Cake Shop, Ceci New York, Delphine Manivet and of course, Karine of Sol y Flor, our go-to florist in Paris.

Up in Montmartre on a morning in early spring we set a tablescape in tones of watercolor nudes and peaches, using custom-made linens and heirloom pieces from our personal china cabinets. We also made use of some beautiful objects from Karine’s boutique, such as her gorgeously patinaed iron table and pewter vase.

We think the final effect is quite lovely… and for more photos check out Corbin’s blog!

Faymi & Eric got married last summer in Paris, with an intimate group of (very chic) friends and family. We were very excited when the couple, along with their photographer Corbin Gurkin, informed us that the photos would be featured in a bridal magazine…

The wait was long, but worth it!

We visited Rungis!

Anne & Nancy — Mon, 10 Jan 2011 13:43:18 +0000

What’s Rungis? It’s the main wholesale market of Paris, and the largest in the world. It’s a giant complex that was built up to replace Les Halles in central Paris. And we got to visit it!

We tagged along with our darling florist Karine to visit the floral pavilion and check out the enormous wholesale decoration warehouses. And eat a turkey-mayo on baguette sandwich at 7:30am.

Here’s a recap of our early morning visit:

4:55am: The alarm goes off. It’s way. too. early.
5:10am: Is it too early for leftover galette des rois? Stomach seems to think yes.

5:24am: In the car. It’s very, very quiet.
5:42am: After a bit of meandering around the town of Rungis, we arrive at the market of Rungis!

6:08am: Making the rounds with Karine our florist, shopping to stock her boutique. It’s less busy than we would have thought. We’re informed that we’re “late”, meaning that there are crazy people that show up even earlier than 5:30-6 o’clock in the morning.

6:45am: Orange pressée, café crème and gossip at the flower pavilion café.

7:17am: Turkey-mayo on baguette to go.
7:27am: Pick up the day’s purchases and load up the camion.
7:30am: The sandwich is calling…
7:45am: A spin around the decoration stores. There’s a lot of cool stuff we could use for our weddings!

9:00am: Back at FiF HQ. Nap time.

Press room: Baltimore Sun

Anne & Nancy — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 12:38:46 +0000

This spring we were contacted by the Baltimore Sun to take part in a special “Great Escapes” section. We sent along a photo from KHulett Photography and were excited to see our name in print. Which you can, if you squint hard and look at the bottom of the page.

First look: Sharon & Fred’s wedding

Anne & Nancy — Tue, 11 May 2010 17:46:12 +0000

After over a year of planning, three action-packed days of set-up and clean-up, and one day of rest, we’re super excited to share a few first look photos of Sharon & Fred’s wedding from this past weekend.

There will definitely be more to come and we can’t wait to show you the amazing decoration and lighting that turned the reception space from “wow” into “WOW!”

An Easter Tea Dance in the French Countryside

Anne & Nancy — Mon, 12 Apr 2010 16:24:38 +0000

We attended an English Tea Dance at a very pretty chateau in the French countryside last weekend. What are the characterstics of an English Tea Dance you ask? 1) Flowery porcelain tea cups 2) strawberry and cream pastry puffs 3) more than one person in attendance named Nigel 4) a strong Pimm’s punch that loosened up the crowd for mid-afternoon dancing.

Vacation catch-up

Anne & Nancy — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 11:59:54 +0000

Fête in France enjoyed a bit of vacation and is now busybusybusy working on 2010 weddings. Anne toured around Portugal in the unceasing rain and when she returned, Nancy set off for the Basque Country and enjoyed lovely sunny springtime weather. Both indulged in the fine foods and wines of the Iberian penninsula.

We won’t bore you with all of our vacation photos – but this one was too cheesy-yet-cute not to share!
