1920s Gatsby Paris Elopement
February 4, 2015
This 1920’s vintage styled wedding elopement was a dream come true for R + L here in Paris. Photographed by english speaking French photographer Thierry Joubert, Video by the talented Duncan Wolfe.
These Canadian lovers had their hearts set on eloping to Paris. From the beginning they had the blessing of their family and trusted us to be their wedding planners in Paris. Naturally we were overjoyed and started to Skype months in advance before we actually met here in Paris.
They knew that the beautiful architecture of Paris would fit into their vintage styled wedding. And we started the day in a luxury apartment on the hills of Montmartre, overlooking the roofs of Paris. The garden ceremony was officiated with the backdrop of Sacre Coeur.
The groom wore a newsboy cap also referred to as the Jay Gatsby, tweed waistcoat vest, and brogues.
The bride wore one of the trendy wedding veil styles: the birdcage veil that went great with bold eyes. The custom fitted lace dress was embellish with vintage rhinestones for the perfect gatsby glam.
We chose a sleek vintage black Citron traction for a photo session around the rest of Paris and the evening was made even more memorable ending at romantic restaurant along the Seine River, Chez Julien.
Congratulations again to the lovely + lucky couple!
Merci.
