Over the past few years, Green Weddings have quickly gone from quirky trend to established norm, as today’s couples realize that it is possible to have a chic, trendy wedding that’s both affordable and eco- and socially responsible. Books, blogs and magazines have popped up all over the globe with information and inspiration on planning Green Celebrations. And leading the pack is the fabulous e-mag Eco-Beautiful Weddings, who, in a short time, have established themselves as the “go-to” guide for stylish eco-friendly weddings. So you can imagine how excited I was to be asked to contribute to their Spring 2011 issue’s Green City Wedding Guide. From organic wedding cakes to ethically mined wedding bands, I share some of my favorite picks for planning the perfect green wedding in Paris. Whether a Parisian wedding is on your horizon or if you’re simply planning a home-grown celebration, just be sure to check out Eco-Beautiful Weddings for all of your “greening” inspirations.
Jenae and André hired me to plan their Paris wedding last fall after they found themselves getting overwhelmed with trying to organize a massive shindig in their hometown in California. They’re a chic, fun-loving couple with a tight-knit group of friends and family, and it was really important to them that their Parisian party not only reflect their style, but their easy-going natures as well. They rented a small yacht for their evening ceremony and reception, but before that, they spent the afternoon with the amazing lifestyle photographer Milos Horvat and his wife Natasa shooting this OMG! photo session of them around Paris. I’ll post pix of the ceremony and reception later on in the week, but in the meantime- take a gander at these:

It’s been crazy busy here in Paris this wedding season - I guess it’s making up for last year (take THAT, pesky financial crisis!!) I haven’t been posting as often as I’d like, but I wanted to drop in to share a sneak peak at a sweet, intimate elopement ceremony that we organized a few weeks ago. Dana, Eric, and their families were all so easy-going and up for anything- and were determined to make their stay in Paris the trip of a lifetime. More pix are on their way of this fun and romantic Parisian elopement.
