Set Sail On The River Seine For This Parisian Wedding
It doesn't get more romantic than Paris. That is until you include a lavish garden wedding, ethereal gray gown, and a clipper yacht down The River Seine. For their Paris destination wedding, Bradlee and Kevin pulled out all the stops. They decided to combine their two worlds by honoring their past and creating new memories for the present in the city of love. Claire Morris Photography was there to exquisitely capture the romance of the day. Visit the full gallery for a look at this wedding that's equal parts elegant and awe-inspiring.
From the bride... We decided to get married in Paris because that is where I studied and have wonderful memories of my mother visiting me there. I wanted his family to establish new memories in Paris on their first trip there. We wanted to combine two worlds and do things a little differently than our peers.
The idea for the color palette was elegant and simple, just a bit ethereal, and adoring of the surroundings. We complemented the garden with a sweet floral palette of white and blush peonies and roses, white hydrangeas, and greenery. Gilles Pothier Floriste designed a gorgeous chuppah that was an extension of the garden, and minimalist bouquets for the spaces that needed them.
I wanted to pay homage to the people that wouldn’t be with us that day, and also make sure that the people that would be with us had an amazing time and adventure– something they would remember forever. I wanted to focus on the experience, on what already existed, on the history, on the beauty of Paris and all the memories I (and we) have there… and simply fill in the details around that. The result was magical.
