Wedding on a private beach in Saint Jean de Cap Ferrat – Caroline + Baptiste
CONTENTS
Caroline and Baptiste have known each other forever. Together they grew up and let their beautiful love blossom. Their families dreamed big what they sighed for in a smaller group. And it is with great humility and wisdom that they split the difference.
With the beautiful images of OOAK, Caroline tells us more…
The initial meeting
"At the age of 15, in high school. Time to mature a little, to have our experiences, we have been a solid couple since we were 20, we are celebrating our 8th anniversary this year.
The marriage proposal
"Unexpected! We went on a trip to tour California. He had spotted on the internet one of the most beautiful beaches in the world on the West Coast of the United States: Big Sur! The ring had been hidden in his wallet for more than 8 days!"

Wedding preparations
"Our families wanted a big wedding with 300 people, we just wanted a nice party with our loved ones. Every decision seemed crucial to us, we were undecided, we didn't have much free time... Result: our wedding was the best day of our lives!
We found the perfect compromise for our families: a wedding with great pomp for the religious ceremony and the reception (300 people, him in Lanvin, me in Vera Wang, 2 videographers, people I barely knew, kisses everywhere, thank yous that we couldn't take anymore), and a wedding on the beach exactly as we dreamed! No! Better than in our dreams!!"

The wedding day
"In the end, we got caught up in the game of the big wedding with the reception, the people were lovely, we were very touched by the presence of all these people, a lot of emotions and in the end we remained ourselves! The priest did a frank and relaxed ceremony, we danced on the altar while the registers were signed, people applauded, we laughed, there were last-minute glitches and we laughed even more...
And in the evening! Magical! Our closest ones, all in the same dynamic of having a great party. We talked, laughed and danced with each of the guests (90 people).”

Wedding Budget
" Approximately 30 000 euros, without the outfits…”
Their best memory
« Arrival by boat on the beach. Seeing all these people waiting for us, applauding us and the party building…!”

To do again?
“Everything is the same. Except for the preparations: take a step back and relax. We attach importance to details that will not make the wedding more beautiful!”
Advice from the newlyweds
Don't - "Getting upset over details with family. We don't care, they do it to please us and it doesn't stop us from having fun! Brides are often stressed that everything is perfect but everything won't be perfect and no one will pay attention as long as the bride and groom communicate their happiness!"
Do – « be happy on D-Day »
