Top reasons why you should marry in France

1. The French art de vivre
Not only fancy dinners and costume balls in Versailles followed by fireworks define the lifestyle à la française. Yet, the spirit of it all prevails in the simplest things: enjoy your morning on the terrace of a café, grab a croissant on your way to take a stroll in one of the many luxuriant gardens of Paris, breathe⦠et voilà !

2. Sumptuous food, fine wines and Champagne.
Good food always comes with good wine. Indeed, the Capital of gastronomy abounds with the most amazing food and delicacies Europe has to offer. Do you fancy the services of a Michelin Chef to make your taste buds shiver? Thus, donāt forget to have a bite of the delicate pastries such as macarons, or Ć©clair au chocolat. You can always go classy with an elegant but delicious wedding cake.

3. Luxurious castles and domaines
If youāve always dreamed of awakening in a luxurious palace or chĆ¢teau Ć la Marie-Antoinette, book a suite in the HĆ“tel Ritz Paris or throw your wedding reception in a sumptuous castle with a stunning view on the French coastline or vineyards.

What are the requirements to get married in France?
Weddings taking place in the Mairie (Townhall) and performed by the Mayor of the town are internationally recognized and legally binding. It is possible for foreign couples to get married in France. However, there’s a residency requirement of a 40-day minimum on French territory, prior to the civil wedding. Read more about it on the French government website.
If you cannot meet these legal conditions to have your Destination Wedding in France, we wonāt give up on you! For instance, most of our foreign couples have their legal civil ceremony at home before (or after). Afterward, they have a symbolic Wedding in France or a Paris Elopement.

Pssst⦠hereās what a symbolic wedding is:
A symbolic wedding is a meaningful, non-legally binding ceremony. In fact, it offers you more flexibility to plan your perfect tailor-made wedding (and have even more beautiful wedding pictures!).
Good thing is : the only rules are yours !
To illustrate, our couple did a multicultural destination wedding in Paris. They combined a traditional Chinese tea ceremony with a bespoke ceremony celebrated by an officiant at The Ritz. Moreover, you could also choose to exchange your vows intimately with just the two of you. Most importantly, this focuses on the most important thing : you and your experience. In the end, arenāt we celebrating YOUR love story?

Have you thought about the make-up, champagne and flowers
There are a lot of vendors that you should get in touch with to organize the perfect wedding. Here are a few tips to find the right vendors for your destination wedding:

Paris Wedding planner
Especially if you are organizing your wedding in France from abroad! We’d highly recommend you hire a Paris wedding planner. An experienced planner knows where to start, who to contact, and what to do. Pro tip: you can usually ask for a call to discuss your ideas and see if itās a match ;).Ā

Officiant
Also known as the celebrant, the officiant is the person who celebrates your wedding ceremony. Always contact them beforehand to check whatās included in their ceremony packages. Check also the languages they speak (some Paris officiants do speak English, French and German !). Thus, ask if they are able to deliver a bespoke ceremony for a multicultural wedding.

Make-up and hair
You might need the help of a professional make-up artist (MUA) to create your dream wedding look. Are you more into glamorous & glowy? natural? full on glitters? Ask for a make up trial, or a mood board. This can give you an idea of what fits you & your wedding dress best. Some MUAs are also hairstylists and do light make-up and hair for grooms, check with them ?. Otherwise, you can also require the separate services of a hairstylist and/or barber.

Wedding dress
There are so many different types of wedding dresses that can fit your body shape and style. Many of our soon-to-be brides ask if they should buy or rent their dress : it is very up to you ! Keep in mind that Paris is the city of fashion where you will have no troubles finding highly talented designers. Plus, you wonāt have to carry a gown in the plane ?. Plan at least 6 months to be safe if youāre thinking about a made-to-order dress. No worries, we can also advise you on last minute options if youāre thinking about an elopement.

Floral design and decoration
There are many options for wedding floral design such as boho, opulence, elegant, chic… Get in touch with the florist to discuss the style and size of your decoration. At the same time, see what they can do for your chosen wedding location. We do want to point out that flowers can cost a lot. Youāll have to attribute a consequent budget to it if you want a big and sumptuous decor. But hey, thatās your wedding so donāt you think you should make it fabulous?

Stationery
Your guests will probably love receiving a bespoke paper invitation, especially now that everything has become digitalized. Ask the designer for a mood board and a few mock-ups or samples. Remember to keep one or two for your Paris wedding photographer to do some details shots!

Catering, wine and wedding cake
France is probably one of the best places in the world to have a delicious tasting of your wedding menu. Organize a tasting with an experienced French chef or caterer. Don’t forget to ask for the greatest wine and Champagne suggestions depending on your budget. You can also hire a French pĆ¢tissier (pastry chef) to bake your dream wedding cake.

Extras
If you feel like adding a little extra for your Paris wedding, you can also rent a vintage car. Usually the car is with 2-3 seats max for the couple and the driver. It could even be a luxury car such as a Mercedes or a Rolls Royce. This will be more convenient to commute between the locations if youāre doing photos in various spots around the city. Who wouldnāt love to travel in style?
Our wedding packages
Your wedding day marks the beginning of an exciting and fulfilling life experience. It is supposed to be one of the most beautiful days of your life⦠and yet ! It can be very stressful to organize because letās be honest, soon-to-be-married couples usually donāt really know where to start.
Thatās why it’s very important to choose the right vendor, helping you make your destination wedding in France a breeze. Get in touch with our team to capture the most memorable images of your special day!
As experienced Paris wedding photographers and videographers, we will accompany you during your planning. We will also provide assistance with a personalized photo shoot itinerary and timeline.
Book a second photographer and/or a second videographer!
Having two artists instead of one for your wedding will provide a more complete story. Weāre not breaking the news about that, are we?
If you have more than 120 guests at your wedding, we suggest having 2 photographers and/or videographers. Or if your timeline is very intense. This will offer you more flexibility and possibilities for a better wedding coverage.
Imagine having a dedicated photographer for the bride and another one for the groom during the preparation. Seeing images of your loved one that were taken just a few minutes before your ceremony can truly be magical. We donāt want you to miss a thing š
