A Parisian Wedding with a Modern Twist at Domaine de Primard

Domaine de Primard, a luxury wedding venue near Paris with spa and restaurants offered the ideal setting for Noémie and Amaury’s elegant yet relaxed wedding. Once the private residence of French actress Catherine Deneuve, the estate combined countryside calm with Parisian refinement, creating a natural backdrop for a day full of intention and joy. With the experienced Paris wedding planner Eléonore Garat guiding every detail, the celebration blended style and sentiment, tradition and ease. Guests were welcomed into expansive gardens, historic architecture, and an atmosphere that felt deeply personal - rooted in French artistry and love for authentic, meaningful design.

Wedding Inspiration

A Fountain Ceremony and French-Inspired Feast

The ceremony took place before Domaine de Primard’s central fountain, surrounded by airy florals by Esther Lamarche. Noémie’s gown by Top Bridal Paris, paired with a handcrafted Elisabeth Veil Collection veil and Gemmyo jewelry, reflected understated French sophistication, while Amaury’s Rives Paris tuxedo brought a tailored finish. Guests gathered around the pool for cocktails and canapés styled by The Blooming Buffet, where savory macarons, caviar, and a Martini tower carried the couple’s playful Parisian spirit. Every scene - from stationery by Atelier Novem to music and laughter under the evening sky - felt considered, lively, and refined.

Dinner, Design, and Lasting Memories

Dinner unfolded at a long table inspired by Parisian bistro culture, dressed with custom Maison Margaux linens printed with croissants, oysters, and light-hearted sketches. Les Petites Germaines provided the tableware, while Maison Options completed the setting with elegant rentals. The couple’s square wedding cake by Wedding Cake & Co, etched with floral motifs echoing château moldings, stood as a delicate centrepiece beside trays of madeleines and macarons. The celebration was captured by Léa Evrevin, one of the most talented wedding photographers in the North of France, whose imagery preserved each fleeting moment. With videography by Emmanuel Amou and behind-the-scenes coverage by Wijdane of Candid & Co, the wedding became more than an event - it was an experience that felt timeless yet vividly alive.
