An Intimate Family Wedding in Private Mansion and Garden in Paris
By RACHEL KAPLAN
PARIS—Our slogan is « You dream it ; we create it. » That is exactly what we did for an adorable couple from Texas who chose to have a unique and intimate wedding with only the closest members of their family in Paris. Thanks to our little “black book” of confidential addresses, we were able to offer them an exquisite mansion in the heart of Paris with a private garden where they were able to hold their ceremony, and then enjoy a cocktail reception, followed by an elegant banquet in the mansion’s dining room. The overall color scheme was lovely: pastel pink and white, with touches of black.
Their catered gourmet dinner started with an elegant shrimp appetizer, then continued with a main course of roast duck, a heart-shaped cheese and salad, and ended with an exquisite chocolate mousse dessert. But the meal certainly didn’t end there. To top off the night’s festivities, the bride and groom cut a magnificent three-tiered cake and snacked on a lovely pyramid of macarons—in pale rose, vanilla and pistachio.
When the evening ended, they happily walked up three flights of stairs to the bedroom that the designer Christian Dior once called “home.”
In short, everything was très chic and très magnifique.
The next day, to make sure that they had unforgettable memories of Paris, our bridal couple enjoyed a photographic tour of the city in our convertible Citroën traction car. Our talented photographer was able to capture their love and happiness framed by the beauty and magic of the French capital.
