On this, the eve of the final stop of The Paris Wedding Blog Tour, what could be more appropriate than a visit with Globetrotting Bride. Dedicated to “all things weddings, travel, or just plain fabulous“, Globetrotting Bride is like a sister from another mister to The Paris Wedding. So, of course I was thrilled to share some of my hints for incorporating la touche française into weddings and parties with them. Take a look at my tips here, and prepare your hankies- tomorrow is the last day of The Autour du Monde Blog Tour. Check out what’s already been said and the amazing feedback the book has received here, and for your own copy of The Paris Wedding, be sure to visit your favorite online bookseller. A demain!

Spring has finally sprung in Paris, and not a moment too soon, I might add. The Paris Wedding Autour du Monde Blog Tour is creeping towards the finish line and I simply couldn’t stand it if the entire tour was spent dashing between raindrops. And speaking of raindrops- the first stop of today’s leg of the tour is Brides and Beauty, the popular English blog from top UK bridal hair and make-up artist, Joyce Conner. I shared some Parisian wedding hairstyle tips with B&B, as well as a copy of the book that’s going to be gifted (!) to one of her lucky readers. Take a look at the post here, and don’t forget to enter the giveaway!
Next we zig back over to the U.S. to chit-chat with The Daily Basics, the absolutely gorgeous Living Lifestyle Directory, about creating The Paris Wedding book, as well as “insider tips” on planning the perfect destination wedding in Paris. Take a look at the interview here.
Don’t forget, The Paris Wedding Autour du Monde Blog Tour runs for just three more days- through Monday, April 15. Check out what’s already been said, as well as the upcoming stops on the tour here, and for your own copy of The Paris Wedding, pop in to your favorite online bookseller.

La météo may be saying something different, but as of yesterday it is officially Springtime in Paris. Before you know it the scarves will come off, the oversized “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” shades will come out, and the terraces will once again be buzzing with the hub-bub of Paris that we’ve all missed so much these past months.
As in most parts of the world, the arrival of Spring in France also sees the kick-off of wedding season. Here’s a sneak peek at some of my favorite short and sassy Parisian wedding dresses (for all budgets!) from Printemps/Ete 2013 to get you in the mood for the warm weather ahead:
