My fairy godmother…

The most talented Marie Mallozzi did the hair and makeup for me and my wedding party. She was a saint, stayed totally calm amongst the chaos of 5 women all trying to get ready for the big event and worked her magic wand on everyone.

She even came down in the lift with me to the entrance of the wedding ceremony and helped me with last minute touch ups, held my hand as I had to balance along a wall to get in to the entrance of the aisle and smoothed out the back of my dress…

Just an added comment regarding the flowers…..


As our wedding was outside on grass, we wanted to do something to make the affect of an aisle. I did lots of research and after reading tips from other brides not to put a canvas runner down (apparently ladies high heels get stuck and people fall over) that we would use fresh rose petals. We also wanted to have fresh rose petals to throw at the end of the ceremony as confetti. It was not a problem for our lovely florists to provide the white rose petals, however the price of fresh petals was horrendous to say the least.

However all was not lost, I found an alternative “Preserved Rose Petals” they look and feel like the fresh petals but even better they won’t wilt or die in the sunshine and they are available in a wide range of colours and at a fraction of the price.

There are many providers out there depending on what country you live in, I ordered mine from Perditas Petals and had them delivered to my office in London and then I took them out to France with me.

Artistic Creations

3 A Roni Fleur is a family business that has been
creating floral arrangements since 1887 and is now run by the fourth generation of Roni’s, four brothers and one sister.

We had a lovely meeting with the sister who showed us through examples of their work and then came up with great ideas after we explained our look and feel we were striving to achieve, it truly was a made to measure service – and unlike some other companies we met, no French artist temperaments to deal with!


Our colour theme was white and arzu blue for the whole wedding, so all our flower arrangements were made up of white and what they call King Blue.

(sorry these are not our professional photos, just photo's that guests took.)
