I have an enchanting real wedding to share with you to start the week, from the fabulous ladies at Fête in France as they stylishly execute a romantic winter wedding in Paris. From the Badgley Mischka shoes to the vintage styled bridal ensemble, I have complete envy of exploring Paris during the winter. Captured by Catherine O’Hara, this wedding is a beautiful blend of winter wonder and vintage chic amongst the sights in the city of love.
The Musicians in today’s real wedding Holly and Joaquin, always knew that they wanted a winter wedding.
Anne from Fête in France takes us through their big day: “While the weather outside had a December chill, they managed to unite their families from both the US and Argentina for a warm and luminous celebration at the luxurious Hotel George V.

The preparations commenced at mid day with hair and makeup for the bride. The couple then took advantage of the late afternoon light for photos around the city with the lovely Catherine O’Hara.
In the evening the couple exchanged vows in the Salon Louis III at the Hotel George V. Cocktails, dinner and dancing followed in the Salon Anglais with toasts being made and translated between Spanish and English. The decoration had touches of holiday cheer with gold Christmas ornaments in vases and white flowers creating a long table centerpiece. The bride surprised Joaquin with a special groom’s cake decorated with guitars made by Synie of Synie’s Cakes.
After dinner guests enjoyed more cocktails and dancing as the Christmas lights of the hotels interior courtyard twinkled away.”
