Real Life Wedding Paris: Nogent Sur Marne

Today I am delighted to bring you a DIY real life wedding Paris of Beatrice and Thibault who got married in Nogent Sur Marne, just outside Paris and photographed by Andreas Photo Studio.

We chose to get married in Nogent-sur-Marne because it was very close to Paris, but in the nature as well. We loved the idea of getting married on an island and that we had to take a boat to go to the venue. There were also a lot of hotels just across the Marne, so it was very easy for everybody to go to their rooms afterwards. Another plus: Nogent-sur-Marne is reachable by commuter-train and as not everybody had a car, this was a huge relief in the organization!

The special touch of this venue is also that we had the whole house for ourselves, which really made us feel at home. The decoration looks like a family house and we had different rooms in which we could circulate. No other weddings or other people around, that was great!!”

“For the biggest part I did everything myself, including hand making the invitations.”

“My husband’s clothes were beautiful, we bought them at Smalto, it’s an italian brand”

“We did the veil ourselves, the necklace was a cross every woman in my family wears for her wedding. I changed into a golden hair decoration actually made of a plant from the Amazon by Art Da Terra, Paris.”

The couple celebrated their marriage at Le Manoir de l’île aux Loups, next to Paris in Nogent Sur Marge.

“I made all of the decorations myself: the cards on the tables, tableplans, the napkins, the postcards on the wall.
