I’ve always said that everything happens when it’s supposed to happen, and it was time for me, after a varied and enriching professional experience, to launch myself.

Two of the most beautiful regions in France to organize custom-made weddings than Provence or the French Riviera? These typical stone mas, these sumptuous domains, these fields of lavender or olive trees, this turquoise sea, these romantic castles… what more could you ask for?

If simplicity and authenticity are your values, or if you want glitter and fireworks, just ask, everything is possible.

Let me guide you, accompany you, let me make your wedding the beautiful day you have dreamed of all your life.

The wedding is a passion, the organization of wedding is a job.

I had found the way to be able to practice this job that I loved so much… my letter to Elodie Villemus did the rest… Thanks to this letter, thanks to this moment of hope, everything finally became possible. This is how it all began.

“There are sometimes moments when you start to hope, to dream… you believe that everything is possible, so I launch myself into the life of a wedding planner… “

To tell you why I am passionate about weddings, I will not be able to. Is it that glint in the eyes of the bride and groom who look at each other and think that their love will last forever, is it the love of all their loved ones who come to celebrate them, is it the beautiful setting and décor, the good meal or the crazy atmosphere? Maybe a little bit of all this…

There are things that are difficult to explain, like a passion, on the other hand there are others that are the result of a long reflection, of an experience that makes us ask the right questions. This choice was to join the Elodie Villemus group.

Organized and meticulous by nature, I needed a framework and a work methodology that would give me the ease and total mastery of the organization of customized and personalized weddings that I wished to do and this is exactly what I found in the Group.

From the first contact to the D-day, everything is thought out, everything is done to leave no room for doubt, for the stress that the preparations can generate.

From the management of your budget, to the choice of service providers, to the coherence and refinement of the decoration, everything is mastered and harmonious.

Naïs – Wedding Planner Provence & Côte d’Azur

Let’s go back to the beginning… since I was very young, I have had a sensitive eye for the aesthetics of the things that surround me; nature, light, furniture, decoration, art. Without really knowing what profession I wanted to do, I knew I wanted to create.

Graduating from a photography school allowed me to develop my creativity, my eye, and my sense of detail. This education led me to the world of film, because I wanted to tell different stories. Although this environment taught me a lot, the very administrative and bureaucratic side of film production did not suit me and it is at this time that I decided to undertake a 3-year training at the florist school of Paris. It was during the creation of a plant decor for a short film that I fell in love with this profession!

Today I have experience in the profession of florist for events and I have worked in some of the greatest Parisian palaces. It is thanks to these rich experiences that my desire to create custom wedding decorations appeared! Having always had an interest in the beauty of flowers, first in my grandmother’s English garden, then later in sewing, painting or photography, I love to work with them today. I love the effect that flowers have in a space and the emotions they make women and men feel. I like the richness of the forms and colors of the floral world which gives infinite possibilities of creation. My different trainings and experiences complement each other and I am constantly exploring new inspirations.

The decoration of your wedding is not to be left to chance, the creation of a coherent and harmonious atmosphere is one of the key elements of your D-day. I will be there to accompany you, to advise you and to organize the embellishment of this special day. I will be your wedding designer for the Occitanie region!

The Occitanie region offers unlimited possibilities for your event; a region of history and culture with well-preserved medieval cities, castles and fascinating estates. Its landscapes are classified as World Heritage by UNESCO, which promises a variety of beautiful landscapes. From Montpellier to Toulouse via Perpignan or Rodez, the location of your reception is surely in Occitania.

My role is to conceptualize the design of your wedding from the floral arrangements, but also the art of the table, the furniture or the stationery and especially to simplify your choices.

Naomi – Director of the Wedding Designer Occitanie agency

Why am I a Wedding Designer? I can’t really explain it.

Beyond the symbolism of love, the dream of a little girl, the visual beauty that the wedding represents, it is the fact of gathering all the people we love around us that I like the most in this event that is the wedding.

I always say that there is nothing more real, more representative than the wedding to show who we are through our culture, our traditions, our way of celebrating ….

I love to entertain and gather my loved ones. And I like to do it well. Always with a beautiful decoration and a French table setting, with attention to detail. I get this from my parents who always entertain with great pomp and circumstance, no matter what the occasion.

At the same time, I have always been fascinated by wedding decorations. I can spend hours looking at inspirations on the internet, searching for new ideas. I can’t explain why, but I also believe that passion can’t be explained.

So the job of Wedding Designer was an obvious choice.

Something innate, natural, which however did not turn into a career choice because originally I am a lawyer by training.

Then one day, I told myself that choosing the easiest path, the one I had studied for, did not mean choosing the one that would make me happiest.

 

It is said that it is often at the end of the most sinuous paths that true happiness is hidden.

It is this phrase that guided me to join the Elodie Villemus® Group and open my own wedding design agency in Paris and the Ile-de-France region.

The Ile-de-France, this region full of castles and places, each more beautiful and inspiring than the last, which are just waiting to be sublimated in your image with elegance and refinement.

It is for all these reasons that I have chosen a profession of passion and that from now on, I have at heart to create a tailor-made wedding of which you will be proud.
It is with pleasure that I will put at your service all my passion and my creativity.
So that your decoration is as beautiful as the one you imagined; so that your guests are impressed; but also and especially, so that your eyes are filled with wonder and happiness on your wedding day.

“Paris existe pour vous signifier que tout est possible”

La ville Lumière à ce pouvoir d’attirer et de faire rêver. Quoi de mieux que la ville Lumière pour une échappée amoureuse ? Mais avec qui ?

Le propre de « l’élopement » est de s’échapper à deux … vous et votre moitié. Vous pouvez également partir en petit comité pour vivre un moment unique en toute intimité.

Si vous rêver d’une cérémonie symbolique devant un bel écrin, Paris est la ville faites pour vous !

Il existe tant d’endroits uniques qui vous donneront envie de partir célébrer votre amour, mais Paris reste la capitale la plus emblématique … couronnée d’architecture à couper le souffle, de rues pavées plus typiques les unes que les autres.

Même si le nombre d’invités est moins conséquent, l’organisation d’un élopement à Paris peut nécessiter quelques conseils.

Il est important de garder tous ces instants qui font d’un mariage un évènement magique … un « first look », une séance photo dans des lieux mythiques, de bons prestataires pour vous accompagner, un lieu pour votre cérémonie symbolique et surtout … célébrer ! Chaque détail compte.

Alors rêvons ensemble, vous et votre moitié seuls pour vous découvrir chacun dans votre plus bel apparat, le tout face à un monument historique. Tellement magique !

Pour immortaliser ce moment, vous sillonnez les rues typiques de Paris à la recherche du meilleur spot pour vos photos de couple. Tellement mode !

Je t’aime, des mots si symboliques … imaginez vous les dire, les yeux dans les yeux, mutuellement à la lueur de la Tour Eiffel. Tellement romantique !

Après toutes ces émotions, un dîner gastronomique sur la Seine avec la douce mélodie de l’hymne à l’amour. Tellement parisien !

Vivre et célébrer son amour à deux ou à plusieurs, le tout est de créer un moment qui vous ressemble.

 

Audrey – Wedding Planner Directrice Agence Paris

The proposal. This is where it all begins.

It is an important and exciting step in a couple’s life that leads to the wedding planning.

 

To make this magical moment happen, it is necessary to plan it with your Wedding Planner so that everything goes perfectly.

If you follow these tips, I hope it will be unforgettable!

 

First of all, choosing the right time and place for THE proposal is crucial.
Choose a place that is special or meaningful to you: the place where you met, your favourite holiday spot, a symbolic date….

Imagine yourself on a rooftop, on the edge of a lake, in the middle of nature under a magnificent tree, on a boat privatised for the occasion or simply at home… everything is possible as long as it is in your own style.

 

Prepare the details well.
Fresh flowers to offer and/or for the decor, a bottle of champagne to refresh you after having pronounced the magic words and to celebrate this moment, candles for a romantic and warm atmosphere, a gastronomic meal, music and of course THE ring which will symbolize this request. If you wish, a photographer and/or videographer can be present to immortalize this moment.  As a wedding planner, I can also help you in the organization of this request to be able to live it fully and serenely.

 

When the time comes!
Make sure that everything is ready and then kindly invite him/her to join you… You may want to involve people close to you in the process, who will help you make sure that the surprise is complete.

 

Make your feelings clear!
There’s nothing worse than a confused proposal! Let your emotions flow. After your declaration followed by those magic words “will you marry me? hold up the ring, take a breath and wait for the answer.

 

It’s a YES!
Congratulations! Enjoy! You can open the bottle of champagne and enjoy the meal that has been organised to celebrate the moment.

 

Then comes the organisation of your wedding … and to make it just as magical, I advise you to call on a wedding planner. You will eliminate all the stress linked to this organisation.
