Travel info: Girls’ Guide to Paris

Part travel guide, part arbitor of taste, the Girls’ Guide to Paris has a little bit of something for everyone who loves Paris. Bloggers post about Parisian style trends, new restaurant openings, and must-visit spots for locals and tourists alike!

Fête in France was recently invited to guest blog so we showed off some of the fabulous weddings we’ve done in the city of light!

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!

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.

Anchors away!

We don’t often get to see our clients before they arrive in France for their wedding.  So it was a treat to be able to work with newly expatriated couple Elizabeth and Nathan.  Athletic, all-American and keen sailors (on the bride’s side) they had chosen to have their ceremony and reception on one of the elegant boats that cruise the Seine in Paris.  It was abundantly clear that a nautical theme was in order and we helped them go all out.

Guests arrived in bateau chic attire and were delighted as the bride and father of the bride cruised up in a Venetian water taxi.  The ceremony began and guests (and the neighboring boat) watched as Elizabeth and Nathan tied the knot.  The boat set sail and an accordion and clarinet duo added a festive tone to the cocktail – it was Fête de la Musique after all!

The reception followed and the room looked resplendant in navy and white, tall calla lily centerpieces, thematic table names (bow knot, square knot, clove hitch…) and elegant calligraphied escort cards and menus.  The meal was topped off by the presentation of a traditional French pièce montée de croquembouche and a champagne fountain poured by the couple.

The couple opened up the dance floor with their first dance to “Sailing” by Christopher Cross and as usual, the young crowd closed the place down.

Romantic Small Wedding in Paris

We were contacted by a couple at Christmas time this year looking to have a romantic elopement in Paris.  With only one month of planning and the holidays in between we sprung into action to make their wedding vision come true.  Here are some pictures from their day which included getting ready at a private apartment by the Eiffel Tower, a wedding ceremony in an elegant salon of a 5 star hotel and then a tour of Paris for pictures.  They and their two friends ended the special day with a dinner at a restaurant under the Eiffel Tower.

PS. His green suit fortunately was just for laughs
