“The intimate setting at Château Bouffémont was perfect for them as they wanted to share this moment with a small group of close family and friends.” Getting Ready Bride and Bridesmaids Elegant Bridesmaid Dress

“Their two cultures were a major influence in their big day. The catering was done by a well known Lebanese caterer in Paris, the DJ was Iranian, not to mention the tableh drummer, traditional knife dance and hooka bar. The wine was of course French. A wonderful mix of cultures for one very special couple.”Outdoor Chateau Ceremony

“As a planner, I was absolutely spoilt. Nikki & Jean Claude had a clear wedding vision, were confident in themselves and the vendors that made this day so special. Everything went perfectly for them. I even received a Chanel thank you package (Nikki works for Chanel) which just blew my mind.”French Lace Wedding Dress Grey Groom Suit Elegant Bride and Groom Portraits White and Green Buttonhole Château Bouffémont Wedding

Message from the bride.
“I knew exactly what I wanted from the beginning. Small, intimate, special and elegant, no BS, no floofy flowers. Just a beautiful chateau, close family, and lots of candles…” Elegance Chateau Dining Room Table Name Ideas

“From the beginning I knew I wanted a regal wedding in an elegant beautiful setting… In searching for chateau near Paris, Château Bouffémont showed up and right away I just knew that is the place where I will get married. Anyone close to me knows that once my mind is set on something I find a way to get it. And that’s exactly what I did for my wedding.” Pretty Pastel Table Decor

“Everyone was hesitant about the destination wedding but looking back, we know it was perfect and we wouldn’t have done it any other way.” Traditional French Wedding Menu

Here are some special moments that stand out to me during the engagement / wedding process:

  • Jean Claude’s surprise proposal in Venice
  • Telling everyone I want to get married in a chateau and all of them freaking out!
  • Finding Nicole at Pure Expression Events!!
  • The dress! Omg what a process. It is So hard to verbalize your vision to someone else for them to create it or bring it to life…. I love Berta dresses but can’t afford one so we recreated our own version…
  • The photobooth was super fun we got some great group pictures there.
  • Finding out 10 days before wedding that my dad got approved for a visa to come to Paris! He was able to walk me down the aisle 🙂
  • Face Timing with my uncle who is going through chemo and letting him get the first look before I walked down the aisle. I know he really wanted to be there but couldn’t.
  • My dad coming into the room as I was getting ready to gift a ring that was passed down generations. Sapphire and diamonds.
  • My Chanel shoes
  • Seeing everyone’s smiling faces.

I have to say, every single person that was there is so special to us. I had friends who flew in from California just for 48 hours to be a part of our day. I am so humbled and honored to call them friends and family.”Sparkler Exit French Wedding
