Destination Wedding in France!

Saying 'Oui' to Love

Bonjour and welcome to a journey of love and elegance! Imagine saying your vows amidst the lush vineyards of Bordeaux, in a charming château in the Loire Valley, or under the sparkling lights of the Eiffel Tower. France, with its timeless charm and romantic ambiance, is the perfect canvas for your dream destination wedding. In this blog, we'll guide you through the enchanting process of planning a wedding in the land of amour.

1. Choosing the Perfect Locale:

France offers a plethora of stunning locations for your special day. From the rustic charm of Provence to the glamorous riviera of Côte d'Azur, each region has its unique allure. Consider the style of wedding you desire – a fairytale castle, a serene countryside, or a chic city venue. Research and visit (virtually, if necessary) various locations to find that perfect spot that resonates with your vision.

2. Understanding Legal Requirements:

Navigating the legalities of marrying in France can be complex, especially for non-residents. You may need to complete certain paperwork and formalities. Many couples choose to have a civil ceremony in their home country followed by a symbolic celebration in France. Consulting with a local wedding planner or legal expert can provide clarity and ease the process.

"Foreigners or those residing outside of France can get married in France, if they have lived there for a minimum of one month (30 days), or if one of their parents resides in France."

3. Embracing French Cuisine and Wine:

A French wedding is incomplete without indulging in the country's world-renowned cuisine and wines. Collaborate with local caterers to create a menu that reflects the flavors of the region. From delicate pastries and cheeses to sumptuous wines, your guests are in for a gastronomic treat!

"The traditional trio of starters often features scallops, lobster, and duck foie gras. For the main course, you can opt for beef tenderloin, tournedos, duck breast, or fish-based options like sea bream or perch fillet."

4. Integrating Local Culture and Traditions:

Incorporate elements of French culture into your wedding to make it truly unique. Whether it’s a classic French chanson as your first dance, lavender from Provence as your wedding favor, or a traditional French croquembouche as your wedding cake, these details add an authentic touch.

5. Planning Logistics for Guests:

Consider the comfort and convenience of your guests. Provide detailed information on travel, accommodation, and local attractions. Organizing group activities, like a wine tasting tour or a sightseeing trip, can make the experience more memorable for your guests.

6. Capturing the Memories:

Hire a skilled photographer who not only understands the aesthetic of your wedding but also the breathtaking backdrop of your French location. From candid moments in the vineyards to posed shots in historic chateaus, these photos will be a cherished keepsake.

A destination wedding in France is not just an event;
it’s an experience steeped in romance and elegance. With careful planning, a touch of creativity, and a dash of adventure, your French wedding can be a mesmerizing story to be told for years to come. So, let your heart lead the way to your enchanting “I do” in the picturesque landscapes of France.
