There are certain weddings that feel like stepping into a fairytale, and this French wedding at Siempre in Draper, Utah, was precisely that. The vision for this wedding was to transport guests to the romantic streets of Paris, and thanks to an exceptional team of vendors, that vision came to life in the most enchanting way possible.

The concept for this wedding was rooted in the essence of France itself—the rustic charm of the countryside, the vibrant beauty of the florals, the opulence of gold, and the rich history of art and elegance. However, the overarching theme was to capture the feeling that Paris is the epitome of editorial style, and I’m thrilled to say that the team, led by the incredibly talented wedding planner Kaushay Ford, executed this flawlessly.

French weddings are known for their understated elegance, and this one was no exception. The bride looked absolutely dreamy, with her sleek bun and elegant makeup perfectly crafted by the talented Maria Hannifin. Her gown, provided by Moments Made Bridal, was nothing short of ethereal—its flowing fabric and intricate lace details made her look like she had just stepped out of a Parisian fashion magazine.

What truly set this wedding apart was the careful attention to detail and the seamless blending of elements that evoked the spirit of France. The addition of a harp added an ethereal touch, enhancing the Parisian vibes and making the entire setting uniquely captivating. The music from the harp resonated beautifully through the venue, creating an atmosphere that was both romantic and sophisticated.

A one-of-a-kind wooden door, imported directly from France, served as a stunning focal point for the ceremony. This door, with its rustic charm, was adorned with cascading florals by the talented team at Merci Floral. The colorful arrangements along the door, as well as the exquisite tablescape and bride’s bouquet, were a true testament to the artistry and creativity of the floral designers. These florals added vibrant pops of color and texture, perfectly complementing the overall French-inspired theme.

The tablescape itself was a masterpiece, with every element carefully curated to reflect the opulence and elegance of a Parisian wedding. Gold accents, delicate china, and perfectly arranged blooms made the table setting a visual feast. The attention to detail was impeccable, and it was a joy to capture the beauty of each meticulously placed element.

One of the most rewarding aspects of this wedding was the opportunity to showcase the incredible talents of the vendors involved. This wedding was a shining example of how, with the right team, it is entirely possible to create a French-inspired wedding—or any dream wedding style—right here in Utah. There’s no need to travel to Europe when you can have elegance and sophistication at a reasonable cost, crafted by local experts who understand how to bring a vision to life.

This wedding at Siempre didn’t just capture the beauty and essence of France; it also highlighted the possibilities and creativity that local vendors can offer. It’s proof that dream weddings are accessible to everyone, and that with the right collaboration, you can create something truly magical.
