Planning your dream wedding with a French Bleu theme evokes a sense of rustic elegance and romance. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you create the perfect French-Bleu inspired celebration: 

1) Choose the Right Venue: 
Look for a charming countryside venue with rustic features like stone walls, wooden beams, or a vineyard. We chose The Club at Corazon which was like a historic Chateau right in the heart of Ohio 

2) Select a Color Palette: 
Opt for a soft and timeless color palette reminiscent of the French countryside. Consider shades of soft blue, cream, and gold accents for an elegant touch. 

3) Wedding Attire: 
For the bride, consider a vintage-inspired lace gown or a classic A-line silhouette. Anne Barge Bridal Atelier was the perfect choice for Bridal attire. 
Grooms can wear a classic suit in earthy tones or for a more elegant approach, a dark blue suit. 

4) Decor and Centerpieces: 
Incorporate elements like wooden tables, vintage lanterns and elegant florals like roses and peonies. Got Ya Covered linens brough the French Country elements to life with their patterned linens and soft candle light. 

5) Ceremony Backdrop: 
Create a beautiful ceremony backdrop using an arch adorned with fresh flowers. Flocal Co. Floral Studio built the custom designed arch with 2000 roses. 

6) French-Inspired Invitations: 
Design invitations with French country motifs such as a family crest or elegant fonts with high-quality paper for an authentic feel. Avant Guard Impressions created our custom invites with complete precision. 

7) Wedding Cake: 
The wedding day would not be complete without a personalized tiered cake with the custom crest. The cake was adorned with fresh flowers with a buttercream finish from Le Gateau LLC

8) Photography: 
Hiring a photographer experienced in capturing the romance and beauty of French Country weddings is key. We had the pleasure of working with Kismet Visuals & Co. to capture the elegance and beauty of Kelly and Bryan's Wedding day.

I am Tracey Castrejon, ready to help plan your perfect destination wedding! 

I've worked over 300 weddings as a venue coordinator, so I've seen a lot of wedding gowns... and most of them are really heavy.  You may not understand that having two dresses is becoming the trend. 

There's nothing I want more than for you to have the dress of your dreams! But if that dress weighs between 15-40lb, you're not going to want to have it on all day long. 

Anytime you see awards shows, the girls usually change into a second dress for the after party. 

Which is what I am suggesting for your wedding. Have two dresses! 

One that is for the first 4 hours of your day, covering photos with your family, the ceremony, and photos afterwards....

And the second one that is for the last 5 to 6 hours of your day. Something that is really easy to sit in, and easy to dance in! 

This trend is already happening with the cultural weddings...The brides and grooms usually have two outfits. One that is traditional, and the other that is still festive but less formal, so that they can easily move throughout the evening. 

Of course I'll be with you by your side, helping you with anything that you need... This is just a small piece of advice from a planner that has been there, and done that... And wants only the best for your wedding day experience! 

Inspired by love and a life well-lived!
