“As a wedding planner conscious about sustainability and recycling. I like to work with venues who offer clients environmentally-friendly alternatives when it comes to the overall wedding offering, down to the way drinks are presented. One such example is the Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc in Cap d’Antibes. The Société des Bains de Mer de Monte-Carlo hotels or Naos Beach in Cap d’Ail.

Positive impact on our environment

Small acts of kindness, even when it comes down to how a table is set and menu is planned at a wedding, can have a positive impact on our environment.

As our planet gives us so much, especially when it comes to scenic wedding backdrops and stunning outdoor venues. One of the best ways to make your wedding day stand out is by providing an eco-friendly and earth-first experience.

Weddings don’t have to be wasteful or harmful to our planet.

Often unaccounted for, but in one day, weddings and all the activities surrounding them can generate an enormous amount of waste. Especially if you’re relying on plastic decorations, straws and plastic water bottles. But weddings don’t have to be wasteful or harmful to our planet.

By fostering innovation in the industry, we as consumers can help choose the path that big brands follow. But voting with your wallet, you can help foster a sustainable future and a more circular industry.

One amazing enterprise that satisfies both our need for a sustainable fashion industry as well as our love of beautiful jewelry.

Natalia’s passion for circularity and responsibility is striking.

Boho chic is still relatively new as a choice for weddings in France. Often the more traditional still stands but now with the pandemic and limitations on how many people can be in a group, elopements are starting to become more and more popular, and with it beach elopements.

With that, the theme of carefree, boho chic and simple elegance works nicely. Be it the gorgeous NAOS BEACH in Cap d’Ail – a trendy Greek-island-style beach club bordering Monaco, which has macramé everything, or the stunning backdrop of the beaches in La Vendée, back to basics works beautifully! Nothing better to marry Made with Love by Natalia with! Who doesn’t love Mykonos or Bali style and macramé but in France!”
