Classic Romance Meets Custom Couture

When your brides come from the fashion and luxury real estate worlds, the bar for design is high (to say the least!) Lauren and Amy had seen it all, and they knew exactly how they wanted their Paris New Year’s Eve wedding to look and feel. We worked together as their luxury wedding planners to bring their vision to life in spectacular fashion, ultimately landing a coveted feature in Vogue Italia.

But before the “I do’s,” there were the welcome festivities. Never ones to miss an opportunity to celebrate, Lauren and Amy opened the weekend with a yacht party on the Seine—the perfect way to welcome their guests, many of whom had traveled from Dallas, to the City of Light. With cigarettes and glasses of champagne in hand, revelers took in views of the iconic Eiffel Tower as they floated past, its thousands of lights shimmering and blurring across the river's surface.

From start to finish, the wedding day evoked classic Parisian romance with a seductive edge. The brides bought out Maxim’s de Paris, one of the city’s most renowned restaurants and culinary institutions, spending the day immersed in its Art Nouveau décor and storied surroundings.

Wearing custom Christian Siriano, they exchanged vows on the restaurant’s top floor. Framed by soft white florals spilling from antique marble urns, the setting felt like pure bridal elegance: timeless and innocently romantic.

Then came the sexiest dinner party their guests had ever attended. Cabaret performers from Crazy Horse Paris led the group down to the ground floor of Maxim’s, where the dining room came into view, awash in rich scarlet hues. The space itself served as our primary design inspiration, so the approach was intentionally restrained, complementing the existing décor of velvet draping, jewel-toned textiles, and glowing Tiffany lamps. Hundreds of white candles illuminated the tablescapes, their warm light inviting guests to take their seats and linger.

And linger they did, all the way through the countdown to midnight. Crazy Horse performers entertained throughout the evening, French pastries were passed around, and a champagne tower was poured. It was the kind of night that feels as though it might never end, and stays with you long after it inevitably does.

The following morning brought everyone together once more for a casual Chinese food brunch. An au revoir for now, and a fitting finale to an unforgettable weekend in Paris.
