Happy Tuesday lovely readers! I love receiving emails in from readers and it is one such email from a bride planning her wedding in Chamonix that has inspired today’s post, Limelight on weddings from Chamonix and the surrounding area. So today is something a little new on the blog and I am going to be taking a look back at some of the fabulous real weddings that I have featured in Chamonix.

The Wedding Planners Wedding in Chamonix
Most brides feel pressure, but when you are a wedding planner getting married, the expectations are grand. Jody owner of Mont Blanc Weddings, and Anthony planned their wedding in Chamonix for the start of September using the mountains as the backdrop for a relaxed day.

Who better to describe the day than the wedding planner herself, Jody :”The Wedding Planners Wedding’ – no pressure there then! Read Jody’s wedding in Chamonix.
Mountaintop wedding in Chamonix that went to Plan B!
Caroline & Dan are two avid snowboarders who wouldn’t settle for anything apart from a mountaintop wedding! They chose Chamonix as their destination 2 years before their actual wedding date!
Even though venue hire is not nearly as long of a waiting list as in the UK or in the US, this laid back couple knew they wanted a summer alpine wedding so no sense in holding off before picking the perfect spot. But with the guidance of an expert wedding planning team at Haute Wedding it shows that even in a dream location such as Chamonix, you need a plan B!
