A Celebration of Warm Reds and Golden Glow
Inside luxury Paris wedding hotel’s Salon Citronnier, red florals by Sol y Flor echoed the season’s richness, beautifully complementing the gold-accented decor. Music by The Firebyrds filled the air as celebrant James Leavy guided the couple through their vows. Sandy’s vintage lace gown, paired with bright red shoes and lipstick, stood out as her signature detail—a nod to her bold yet romantic spirit. Little wrapped gifts for guests added a festive, almost Christmas-like note to the evening, creating warmth against the chill outside. Every element, from florals to music, mirrored the couple’s vision of understated joy and timeless Parisian charm.
Captured in Light by One & Only Photography
The celebration moved between the gilded salons and the Salon Marie Antoinette balcony, where guests admired winter views of Paris glowing beneath the night sky. Photographer One & Only Photography, one of the experienced wedding photographers in Paris, captured each moment with quiet precision—the intimacy of candlelight, the reflection of fur against frosted glass, and the laughter of a couple who felt entirely at home in their chosen city. With styling by Sonja Benhamou and makeup by Sanni Sorma, Sandy’s look embodied true vintage Parisian beauty. Wrapped in her fur shawl, she stepped into the Paris winter not as a visitor, but as a bride perfectly in her element.
