Describe the best wedding that happened at Domaine de la Traxène?
Every wedding is unique, but one of the most memorable was that of a couple who transformed the estate into a fairytale garden inspired by Jane Austen's novels. A ceremony under the century-old trees, a reception in the chandelier-lit Victor Hugo Room, and a brunch the next day in the rose garden… a true fairy tale! Their guests left with stars in their eyes, and so did we.
What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?
My advice: You must take the time to discuss and list what matters most to both of you: the place, the atmosphere, the food, the guests, the music, or a detail that is symbolic to both of you. Once these points are clarified, they will guide you in all your decisions and help you manage your budget efficiently, without getting lost in less important details. It’s your day, so stay aligned with what truly reflects your story and your desires!
What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?
One couple incorporated nods to their roots into their decor: tablecloths embroidered by their grandmother, local flowers, a trilingual menu for their international guests, and a secular ceremony punctuated with memories shared by their loved ones. It was deeply personal, and incredibly moving.
