Most couples think they need someone to “make it happen.”

But a wedding is not a checklist to execute.

It’s a full experience that needs to be built with intention, clarity… and a lot of honest conversations.

My role is not to say yes to everything.

My role is to tell you when something doesn’t make sense, when you’re about to overcomplicate things, or when your vision doesn’t align with your reality.

Because that’s how you actually enjoy your wedding.

Not by doing more.

But by doing what truly matters.

💫 If you’re looking for guidance, honesty and a wedding that feels like you, we’ll get along.

🏰 Hard Truth: Just because it’s a château doesn’t mean it’s luxury. Read that again.

One of the biggest misconceptions international couples have about France is this:

“If it’s a château, it must be luxury.”

Nop.
Not even close.

Here’s the reality:

1. Many châteaux are historic, rustic, and charming. Not luxurious.

You mayfind stone floors, uneven walls, vintage furniture...

2. Luxury requires modern comfort.

AC (not mandatory, especially in Frange)
Renovated bathrooms
High‑end bedding
Professional kitchens
Full staff (not for catering though)

Very few historic properties have these.

3. Luxury is in the service, not the building.

A gorgeous façade doesn’t guarantee a premium experience.

4. Some simple châteaux are stunning, just not “luxury‑hotel” level.

Perfect for intimate, authentic weddings… but not for couples expecting a five‑star environment. There are some, but not the majority.

5. You can have a beautiful, emotional, unforgettable wedding in a non‑luxury château. And I love that for you!

But expect elegance, charm, and atmosphere, not marble bathrooms and concierge service.

If luxury is important, you need to choose very carefully.

If authenticity is important, France has endless options.

🥘🥂🍽 ️ If you’re not French, wedding catering here will surprise you.

Especially the cheese course!

Let’s talk about something international couples don’t expect when planning a wedding in France:

French catering culture is completely different from American, British, Canadian, or Australian wedding traditions.

Here are the things that surprise my couples the most, including the famous cheese moment you’ve heard of, but probably misunderstood:

1. Portions are generous, very generous

Forget tiny bites or tasting plates.
French weddings serve real food, full dishes, multiple courses.
No one leaves hungry.

2. French service is intentionally slow (and elegant)

This is not inefficiency. This is culture.
Dinner is treated as a highlight of the evening, not something you rush through to “get to the party.”

3. The cheese course is a REAL course, not a side dish 🧀

This one shocks almost all my international couples. In France:
• Cheese is served after the main dish
• It’s its own moment, its own pace
• You don’t eat it with bread rolls left over from dinner
• You don’t eat it next to dessert
• And you do not rush it

It’s a ritual. A pleasure. Something to savor.

And very important:
👉 If you do NOT want cheese as a dedicated course, you must specify it to your caterer. Otherwise, they will naturally include it, because here, it’s tradition. You can always ask to have it with dessert or at a buffet table.

4.🍷 Wine is central, cocktails are secondary 🍸

Signature cocktails are possible, of course.
But French gastronomy revolves around wine pairing and table conviviality.

5. Visual presentation is elegant, not always extravagant

French cuisine values refinement and flavor over Instagram drama.

6. Quality catering is expensive (and absolutely worth it)

Chefs, service, ingredients, staffing, equipment, it’s a full sensory experience.

Not “wedding food.”
Gastronomy.

Understanding these cultural differences is essential if you want your destination wedding to feel smooth, authentic, and aligned with your expectations.

What do you think about the cheese course tradition? Would you keep it, skip it, or modernize it?

I count stairs everywhere I go.

And yes, it’s automatic.

If I walk down a staircase, I’m counting.
If I cross a room, I’m counting steps.

Sometimes I notice.
Sometimes I don’t.

It started as nothing. Now it’s a reflex.
And weirdly? It reassures me.

If the lights go out, I know exactly how many steps there are. If I have to move in the dark. I am ready.

My husband laughs about it.
I pretend it’s normal.

But here’s the thing.

I cry over fictional characters.
I can talk for 45 minutes about why a video game storyline is genius.
I have a third of my back tattooed.
I get overly emotional about anything involving children since becoming a mom of two.

I’m structured.
And intense.
And deeply sensitive.
And slightly chaotic.
All at the same time.

You see the polished weddings in France.

But behind them is someone who counts stairs and overanalyzes fantasy maps.
And honestly? I like that about me.

Now your turn.
What’s something slightly “odd” about you that actually makes perfect sense once people know you?

▶️ Tell me in the comments. I’m genuinely curious.

Breaking news: grooms have opinions.
Shocking, I know 😉

For years, the wedding industry sold us one
narrative:

“It’s her day.”
“He doesn’t really care.”
“He’ll just show up.”

Except… that’s not what I see.

I see grooms who read the budget spreadsheet twice.

Grooms who debate lighting and atmosphere.

Grooms who insist on the exact song that tells their story.

Grooms who write a private note before the first look and then pretend they won’t cry.

And then they do.

Planning a destination wedding in France is not a solo project.

It’s not “her wedding”.
It’s a shared experience.

Some grooms are discreet.
Some are strategic.
Some are deeply emotional but won’t say it out loud.

But when they’re included from the beginning when their personality shapes the design, when their taste influences the atmosphere, the entire wedding feels more grounded. More balanced.

More real.

The modern groom doesn’t just attend the wedding.

He co-creates it.

And I love the ones who dare to show up fully.

Here’s the thing nobody tells you before your wedding day: you will barely see each other.

You’ll be pulled in opposite directions from the second it starts : family, friends, photographers, caterers, the cousin who can’t find their seat. That’s just the reality of it.

So if you want to actually feel your wedding day, you have to protect your time as a couple. Intentionally. Strategically. Before the chaos takes over.

Three moments I swear by and most couples never think to plan them.

Swipe to steal them before your big day.

👉 Destination wedding in France? This is exactly the kind of detail that makes the difference between a wedding you survive and one you’ll never forget.

🍔 A McDonald’s order almost stole the show at this France weddin🍟

Beth & Liam’s destination wedding in France was stunning (hello )

Idyllic venue.2 days of celebration.

A room full of generosity and humor.

But the moment I’ll never forget wasn’t about design.

During planning they told me:

“My dad only eats McDonald’s. The wedding dinner might be complicated. Can we secretly order him a McDonald’s menu right before dinner? We want to tease him.”

Taxi booked. Timing perfect. Mission executed.

What followed was pure tenderness.

A private joke.
A father completely touched.
A family laughing together before the formal dinner even started.

That photo exists because someone felt seen.

This is what wedding planning abroad is really about.

Not perfection. Not Pinterest.

Guest experience. Attention. Inside jokes turning into lifelong memories.

The smallest details are often the ones guests remember forever.

Most “custom weddings” aren’t custom at all.

Every wedding planner promises a bespoke wedding, a personalized experience, a tailor-made celebration in France.

But what does that actually mean? Is personalization just decor? Vendor selection? A color palette?

Or does it start much earlier?

A truly personalized destination wedding begins with identity.

Before venue scouting, before design, before budget structure there’s the couple’s personality:

Their rhythm, Their vocabulary
Their way of making decisions
Their energy together

That’s where customization lives.

Yes, planners work with trusted vendor networks.

But a curated wedding in France isn’t about picking the “best” vendors.

It’s about choosing professionals whose mindset, values and working style match the couple. That alignment shapes the experience more than flowers ever will.

Personalization is also relational.

How information is shared and decisions are guided

How accessible your planner is
How supported you feel planning from abroad

A bespoke wedding is a communication system, not just an aesthetic.

And design?

Real wedding design is not copying Pinterest trends.

It’s translating references, moods and inspirations into something that feels unmistakably yours.
Moodboards, deep questionnaires, visual exchanges. Not to follow trends, but to reveal what couples wouldn’t have articulated alone.

Customization isn’t decoration.

We want something CURATED!
