the paris wedding blog tour: le quatrieme jour

Eco-Beautiful Weddings (the daily blog for stylish green weddings) are celebrating their sassy new make-over this week, so I’m very flattered that they chose to participate in The Paris Wedding Autour du Monde Blog Tour before the new coat of paint even had a chance to  dry.  I’m loving the bold floral pattern and the strong splashes of red on the banner and menu. As they themselves said in a post earlier this week, “Being “green” for your weddings and your life does not mean you need to be married to the color green”.  So true…  For this Fourth Day of the blog tour, I share an excerpt from The Paris Wedding with Eco-Beautiful Weddings readers, called:  Top 5 Ideas for an Eco-Friendly Wedding in Paris.

Earlier in the tour, I guest posted on BonjourParis.com with the story of how I ended up being an American wedding planner in Paris.  Over the years, I’ve found that a “Paris Wedding” can mean different things to different people, and in my second guest post on BonjourParis.com, I explain a bit about why I think this might be. Take a look at the article here.

Remember, The Paris Wedding Autour du Monde Blog Tour runs through Monday, April 15. Check out what’s already been said, as well as the upcoming stops on the tour here, and don’t forget to enter Lost in Cheeseland’s give-away to win your very own copy of The Paris Wedding.

short dresses for a springtime wedding in paris

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:
