The wedding is one of the most significant events in a couple’s life. In many cultures, it is believed to be the happiest day in a person’s life. With such great expectations, it is easy for it to become also one of the most stressful. If you’re planning a destination wedding in France, you might be unsure where to start. In this article we’ll give you our insight on how to plan the French wedding of your dreams.<\/p>\n\n\n

La premi\u00e8re \u00e9tape de l'organisation du mariage de vos r\u00eaves consiste \u00e0 faire appel \u00e0 un organisateur de mariage. Que ce soit en France, \u00e0 Miami, au lac de C\u00f4me ou dans toute autre destination, le r\u00f4le d'un organisateur de mariage est de faire en sorte que votre grand jour soit sans stress et m\u00e9morable.<\/p>\n

Un organisateur de mariage est une personne qui aide les jeunes fianc\u00e9s \u00e0 organiser et \u00e0 g\u00e9rer le jour de leur mariage. Le jour J, l'organisateur de mariage s'assure que tout se d\u00e9roule parfaitement et coordonne tous les fournisseurs. En faisant appel \u00e0 un organisateur de mariage fran\u00e7ais, vous vous d\u00e9chargez de tout le stress li\u00e9 \u00e0 l'organisation de l'\u00e9v\u00e9nement et vous vous assurez que tous les d\u00e9tails sont pris en charge avec une grande attention.<\/p>\n

Did you know the first party planners were French and were working for the king to plan lavish events in his court? It became common for couples in the United States to use a wedding planner from the ’80s and it spread globally.<\/p>\n

A wedding planner in France will typically start by meeting with you for a consultation to understand your vision and budget. He will explain what services they can expect to get for that amount. Getting a clear understanding of the couple’s taste and their overall vision is important as some wedding planners specialise in a particular type or style of wedding.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n

Why Should You Choose an Experienced French Wedding Planner?<\/h3>\n \n

Un organisateur de mariage exp\u00e9riment\u00e9 a organis\u00e9 avec succ\u00e8s de nombreux mariages au cours de sa carri\u00e8re. Il sait donc ce qu'il peut accomplir avec le budget qui lui est imparti et planifie en cons\u00e9quence. Un organisateur de mariages plus exp\u00e9riment\u00e9 disposera \u00e9galement d'un r\u00e9seau de fournisseurs plus \u00e9tendu, capable de r\u00e9pondre aux besoins d'un mariage de luxe ou d'un mariage \u00e0 plus petit budget.<\/p>\n

Before you hire a French wedding planner, it’s important to do excessive research and prepare some les questions \u00e0 poser<\/a>. Cela vous permettra de juger de leur expertise et de vous assurer que vous trouverez un planificateur qui r\u00e9pond \u00e0 vos besoins.<\/p>\n

D'apr\u00e8s notre exp\u00e9rience, faire appel \u00e0 un organisateur de mariage local est la meilleure solution pour un couple qui souhaite c\u00e9l\u00e9brer un mariage \u00e0 destination. Outre leur expertise, ils disposent souvent d'un r\u00e9seau local de fournisseurs qu'ils ont \u00e9tabli au fil des ans. En outre, comme il peut y avoir des diff\u00e9rences culturelles entre les pays, travailler avec quelqu'un qui comprend la culture locale est un atout pr\u00e9cieux.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n

Quels sont les diff\u00e9rents types de mariages ?<\/h3>\n \n \n
\n

\u201cOne thing that I have found couples don’t recognise at first is that there are different types of weddings,\u201d explains our luxury event planner Jean-Charles Vaneck, \u201cOne of the first questions that I always ask clients to get an understanding of their dream wedding is this: When you’re envisioning your wedding, what comes to mind and how many guests are you planning to invite?\u201d<\/p>\n

Deciding on the final guest list takes some consideration and time. We recommend starting with the guests you definitely want to be there on the day like your closest family members. The number of guests attending will ultimately impact your wedding budget as well as the venue you choose and the style of the wedding.<\/p>\n

Let’s explore the different types of wedding in more detail:<\/p>\n

ELOPEMENTS<\/strong><\/p>\n

La fugue est l'une des grandes tendances du mariage qui a \u00e9merg\u00e9 au fil des ans. Il s'agit essentiellement de s'\u00e9chapper \u00e0 l'\u00e9tranger avec quelques amis proches pour c\u00e9l\u00e9brer votre amour lors d'une c\u00e9r\u00e9monie tr\u00e8s restreinte et d'un week-end amusant. Beaucoup de gens pensent qu'une fugue est une option prudente, mais nous avons d\u00e9j\u00e0 \u00e9t\u00e9 engag\u00e9s pour produire des fugues de luxe, o\u00f9 la seule limite \u00e9tait le ciel.<\/p>\n

MARIAGE INTIME<\/strong><\/p>\n

Over the last few years, we have also seen an increasing trend of couples choosing to have a more intimate wedding ceremony. There are a lot of advantages to having an intimate wedding in France. Normally the bride and groom are so busy during their wedding day that they don’t have the chance to properly socialise with each guest. By opting for a smaller wedding reception you can focus more on each guest and be able to converse with everyone. To get an idea of what you can expect from an intimate wedding, you can see examples in our portefeuille d'\u00e9v\u00e9nements de luxe \u00e0 Paris<\/a>.<\/p>\n

GRANDS MARIAGES<\/strong><\/p>\n

Many couples still prefer to have the traditional big wedding ceremony particularly in certain cultures. \u201cI have noticed that Lebanese people, for example, adore big celebrations,\u201d says Jean-Charles, \u201cThey are well known to transform even an empty storage room into a magically decorated venue. It is part of their culture and it wouldn’t be possible to cut down the guest list, no matter how much it will cost. Often it’s not just the couple that invites the guests, but also their families.\u201d<\/p>\n

If you want a big wedding, you have to be prepared to invest a bigger budget. The bigger the ceremony, the more staff you will need on the day. Usually you will also need extra photographers and videographers with assistants sometimes needed as well. You may need several bar displays through the reception room and possibly a larger band, in addition to a big sound system. During these big weddings, you won’t have many opportunities to talk to each guest, so this type of wedding may feel impersonal. At Sumptuous Events we have plenty of experience in curating extravagant weddings with hundreds of guests. Just take a look at this lavish 500 guest Mariage chinois<\/a> que nous avions pr\u00e9vu dans le centre de Paris. Cependant, une autre solution a vu le jour.<\/p>\n

MARIAGES \u00c0 DESTINATION<\/strong><\/p>\n

A destination wedding is a one that is held in a setting away from your hometown. For couples this is an opportunity to hold their wedding in an exotic, romantic location like Paris. Destination weddings are normally held in a smaller circle which makes them popular with many couples who want an intimate yet luxurious ceremony.<\/p>\n

Dans le cas des mariages \u00e0 destination, il faut garder \u00e0 l'esprit que les invit\u00e9s sont souvent moins enclins \u00e0 voyager \u00e0 l'\u00e9tranger, et que le pourcentage de confirmation des r\u00e9ponses sera donc plus faible. Si vous pr\u00e9voyez un mariage \u00e0 destination de la France<\/a>, you can send out invitations to more people, without feeling guilty for cutting anyone off the list. Typically, the majority of destination weddings we see have about 80 to 150 guests. It is often the case for guests to take a vacation and explore.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n
