Press room: Fête in France in Martha Stewart Weddings!

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!

In addition to the 2011 Travel Issue of Martha Stewart Weddings, Faymi & Eric’s wedding was also featured on marthastewartweddings.com and 100layercake.com!

 

Wed among fine wines in a traditional french vineyard…

Set amongst the flourishing vines that soak up the year-round Languedoc sunshine, this charming old vineyard was once a large domain for wine production. Today, its owners have renovated the Chateaus’ old ‘Cave’ (cellar) into a beautiful wedding venue. It’s a perfect setting for any couple that would like to marry in a place soaked in the history of wine production, a culture that the French hold dear.

For a winter wedding you might like to hold your reception inside the grand walls of the Old wine hall; not only are you surrounded by the ancient cuve’s (barrels) once used by the chateau but the staff can also serve you a glass of the delicious local Coteaux du Laguedoc wine from the original wine press that has been transformed into the bar.

For a summer ceremony, the garden or vineyards make a wonderful setting from where to receive your wedding blessing. If you’d prefer a church wedding, the village church is approachable by horse and cart.For an evening celebration, the candelabras and Chinese lanterns adorning the sheltered courtyard provide an ambient, inviting atmosphere in which to receive your guests for your reception.

The house and its cottages (which sleep up to 38 guests in total) are perfectly equipped to suit your needs. On sight chefs cater for all evening dining, which can range from intimate family BBQs to larger style banquets depending on your wishes. Whilst you’re there, you and your guests can take art courses in the grounds, play a round of tennis on the courts, or simply soak up the sun relaxing by the pool.

Why not let a beautiful setting, some fine wines and the glorious south of France sunshine provide the backdrop for your big day?

Press room: Fête in France on Style Me Pretty!

We were very excited when our friends at One & Only Paris Photography told us that Style Me Pretty would be posting photos of Angeli & Tim’s wedding from this past December. As with all press, you’re always left wondering when exactly you’ll be published – and yesterday the wait was finally over!

Check it out!

Holiday wedding – Paris in December

Angeli and Tim hail from Canada and although they were planning a large traditional wedding for February 2011, they decided to have an intimate affair in Paris so that family based in Europe could celebrate with them.

We’re always happy to have weddings to plan in the “off-season”, and it’s even more of a pleasure when we get to work with a couple who are truly great together and a joy to be around.

There were so many unique elements of this wedding: the bride’s quest for lavender Ferragamo pumps, her amazing boudoir shoot with One & Only Paris Photography, the gorgeous greenery arrangements & silk orchid bouquet (the bride is allergic to pollen!), the placecards with Eiffel Towers made out of antique stamps (the bride’s DIY touch), the keys attached to each couple’s box of Ladurée macarons… and of course the magical setting of the Place Vendôme, all lit up for the holidays.

A touch of red wedding

Carla and Morgan, both from Florida, came to celebrate their special day in Paris with a couple of close friends.  They exchanged vows in a small garden, near the Eiffel Tower followed by lots of little French treats.

Loire Valley wedding

The story of this wedding has a happy ending… but there were definitely twists and turns along the way.

Katy and Richie had originally signed with a chateau near Blois. Due to completely unforseen circumstances they found themselves without a venue and out their deposit. A difficult situation for any bride and groom to bear, but they were troopers.

We found them another (and in our opinion much nicer) chateau – one that back in the early days of her engagement Katy had cut out a picture of for her wedding inspiration book. Another stroke of luck – the weather cooperated and they were able to hold the cocktail in the chateau’s back gardens. In the end, a very grateful and relieved bride and groom were finally able to enjoy the wedding they had spent so much effort on making happen.

Press room: Baltimore Sun

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.

Vacation catch-up

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!
