A wedding in Burgundy – Camille + Pierre

In a breath of elegance, Camille and Pierre celebrated their wedding in Burgundy. A poetic wedding with rustic notes, organized down to the smallest details by the bride and groom themselves. Respecting the beautiful traditions of marriage, they will keep an immortal memory of this unique moment.

With the beautiful images ofElise Morgan, the bride and groom tell us…

The meeting of Camille and Pierre

“At a student party almost 8 years ago”

The marriage proposal

"In December 2016, after more than 5 years of relationship in a very beautiful Parisian restaurant. The restaurant team was aware of the purpose of our dinner and received us superbly well. It was a total surprise for her. It will remain a wonderful memory for the 2 of us."

Wedding in Burgundy

"Due to the bride's family ties to this region, we did not hesitate before choosing Burgundy and its vineyard landscapes. Our love of wine also represents an important factor in the choice of the destination."

Wedding planning

“The organization of this day began almost a year before the big day. This time is necessary in order to have the “choice” of the key wedding service providers who will make the day a success (caterer, DJ, photographer, furniture and marquee provider, etc.).

We started with the biggest investments (DJ, tent, caterer, photographer) and then we focused on the decoration and the desired atmosphere at the wedding. Be careful though because this last part was the most time-consuming: choosing the decoration, finding and ordering the elements, making the table plan yourself, managing the families' budgets. The coordination of all these projects was masterfully carried out by the bride.

On the day, we had 180 guests (including children, who were looked after by babysitters).

Wedding decoration

"For the decoration, the inspiration came from the many photos on social networks and wedding blogs. We quickly decided on a rustic "theme" around white and natural colors (green) and wood.

All of the decoration was then ordered on Amazon, collected in Rungis (fake flowers, vases, tealight holders, etc.) and from florists in the region. The assembly of the decoration was coordinated by the bride and installed by us and our families the week before the wedding.

Their best memory

"After the reception, when the bride and groom entered the marquee before dinner, we had provided each of our guests with a sparkling stick that they had to light as soon as the entrance music started. When we entered the room, we crossed a path of sparkles and screams to the sound of "This will be" by Natalie Cole.

We didn't expect to be so well received by the audience, their joy was contagious. Overall, we have magical memories of this day and of the brunch the next day.”

Advice from the newlyweds

“We made the choice not to use a wedding planner.

In order not to find yourself underwater in terms of organization, reception of the various decorative pieces, preparation and installation of the decoration and organization of the service providers, it is essential to organize yourself in advance and to hold " to do list » as long as several arms.

For our wedding, the bride's Excel skills were very useful and allowed us to track all the tasks to be completed on a daily basis. Once these tracking tables have been created, it is absolutely essential to closely monitor all the service providers, the deadlines for each and the compliance of the services with the quotes provided.

Tips :

• Have the flowers delivered and create the floral decoration yourself, 
• After much hesitation, we opted for a long cocktail (about 3 hours) which resulted in a slightly shorter seated dinner (main course, cheese & dessert only). This allowed us to really enjoy our guests, the buffet and even go and take some couple photos in the vineyards during this cocktail,
• The installation of a heating module in the tent was not too much. It was less than 10C° at nightfall even though it was August! We can never thank this service provider enough for their flair!
• We were at the wedding venue a week before the big day, we were able to finish the last preparations by devoting 2 to 3 hours a day to it maximum. This way we were also able to rest a little before this big day.
• For the next day, we called on a local food truck. We had also bought some pastries and cheese.
• The beer tap caused a sensation among everyone ☺"
