Sky high.

Fun and family were the focus of this stunning wedding in Coppet.  It was such a beautiful occasion,  everyone was so relaxed and full of happiness.  Ariane looked absolutely stunning (in the most chic lace dress),  as did the 3 children...and Jean-Marc of course!  

There were some lovely little 'touches' throughout the day.  Ariane arrived in a London Taxi, which holds special memories for the couple from their time spent in England's great capital.  The children were the ring bearers and during the ceremony we were all entertained by a fantastic duo of an accordionist and violinist, wow!

The caves of the Chateau de Coppet provided a fantastic atmosphere for a truly magical evening.  Ariane and Jean-Marc had set up a 'dressing-up' corner for their friends to pose in 'comedy' attire.  As you can see, they too made good use of it,  particularly as they both work in the aviation industry, their choice of head-wear was perfect!

Ding-dong.

Laura and Alex had their Civil Ceremony only 2 days before their wedding, so it was all go!  This couple really know how to have a great time, their wedding was such fun and full of family heritage.  The ceremony was held in the church at Commugny, a very special place for Laura, as both her grandparents and parents were married there.  The newlyweds and their guests then returned to Laura's family home in Tannay where they enjoyed a fabulous aperitif in their beautiful gardens, whilst being entertained by a live band.  For the more energetic there was even some good old English croquet !

One of the highlights of the day was a wonderful present given to the couple by Laura's grandmother; a huge swiss cow bell with Laura and Alex's name and their wedding date engraved on it.   I am sure this will be treasured forever. 

Then in true James Bond style the couple left the aperitif in secret, to cruise down the lake by speedboat arriving at the gardens of the reception venue to the great surprise of their guests!  Dinner was full of giggles, cheering, speeches, some fantastic singing and the most incredible live band all the way from Mont-Saint Michel.  The evening ended with multicoloured lanterns being lit and then floated across the lake.  Magical.
