Bridal Hair & Makeup



From the dress to your accessories, you’ve probably envisioned your wedding day look. However, it’s your hair and makeup that will really pull the whole look together.


Château de Maintenon package comes with professional hair and makeup for the bride, at your hotel or Airbnb. You want every thing to be perfect on your wedding day and so does our makeup artist. After a chat 2-3 months before your wedding where you discuss all the details, she creates a look based on what you like. A perfect look that fits your personality, and enhances your natural beauty.


On the day of your wedding, it typically takes about 2 hours, depending on any add-ons (for example, individual or false lashes).



BOUQUET



Just because you're eloping doesn't mean you can't have the most beautiful flowers. Our florists are the best at putting together flowers that will perfectly compliment your small wedding vision. We offer different color palette choices from cream, blush, and white to bright hues. We'll use the very finest flowers and foliage from french eco fields, forest, and greenhouses.

Our driver will arrive directly at your hotel in Paris to pick you up. At the end of shoot, we will return back to the hotel. Many of our couples are not familiar with navigating around Paris, so having a private chauffeur service takes the stress out of getting to the big event. ​

FAQ



My wedding is going to be a bit more than an elopement. I have more than 10 guests. Can I book this package?



We’re elopement wedding specialists and that is our passion. That’s where we shine! Our packages are created for small weddings of up to 10 people. For larger weddings, we advise that you find the right wedding planner that is perfect for your type of wedding



What is a public ceremony location? Will my ceremony be private?



In this package, we offer a ceremony in a public place in Paris (such as Trocadero square or river Seine banks). This package does not give you exclusive rights to any public venue. That means, other people can be around. To avoid that, we plan all our ceremonies early morning, because you cannot demand that tourists vacate your wedding space. But don't worry! People are quite nice and respectful when they see a wedding. If we start our ceremony at sunrise, almost nobody is around. Perfect for your dream pictures!



Can we make this ceremony private?



If you want a place with exclusive rights and only for your wedding, then we’ll guide you toward a totally private venue



Can we add decorations and a floral arch?



Usually, when we get this question, couples envision something impressive like a giant floral arch in the middle of the Trocadero, a path covered with rose petals, and Napoléon chairs for guests. But unfortunately, none of this is possible. There are several reasons why we don’t do this. The first one is that it's simply not legal. We know that some planners offer small decorations like a wedding table, but we prefer to work in a safety. We know how important this day is for you and we make sure everything proceeds smoothly. If we try to bring decorations to a public place, we may end up with a few extra problems with the police. It's simply not worth the risk. Wedding day is all about celebration and happy moments!



What type of ceremonies do you offer?



The non-religious traditional wedding ceremony, renewal of vows, same-sex ceremony. If you are a same-sex couple we can personalize this package for you (two bouquets or two boutonnieres, two makeups, or no makeup at all)



What happens if it rains on our wedding day?



Chances are, you’ve already heard that we have backup plans for every risky situation. When it comes to wedding ceremony locations, you absolutely need to have a place that you can go in case of rain or bad weather. And here’s the thing: Paris has a lot to offer. No reason to panic, we know nice rain-protected spaces to fall back on. If there are thunderstorms or it's downpouring (which almost never happens in Paris, don't worry), rescheduling is going to be your best option. We are flexible!
