A Different Side of Paris: Urban Architecture Wedding Inspiration in France

Urban Paris Wedding Inspiration

You may be familiar with the many Haussmann buildings in Paris, but did you know there are quite a few modern designs throughout the region? Case in point: today’s iconic architecture! Noisy-le-Grand is just a bit outside of the city proper, and it’s quite the sight (and site!). Inspired by the urban setting, Lika Banshoya – Poetic Photography wanted to create a modern and cool elopement, with a stylish and sweet side. And what better place than this location which fuses the ideas of old design with newer + bolder elements?

Lika tells us: The location being so immense, I was looking for a very simple and refined decoration style. Lush and Loved helped bring the whole look together with a sweet and simple table for two, and keeping all the colors tonal—to reflect the architecture.

Ready for a quick trip to France? Let’s look!

For the bouquet, Une Maison Dans Les Arbres created a dreamy mixture of dried florals and tied it off with a silky ribbon from Le Temps File.
