Yes you read that right. The Internet has been going gaga and raving all about this extravagant 5 day wedding affair that took place in Paris. Car dealership heiress Madelaine Brockway married her long time partner Jacob LaGrone in the most lavish and stylish way you could think of costing 59 Million US Dollars! From a grand bachelorette party to flying down guests in a private jet to having Maroon5 perform at the wedding – there is a reason this wedding has been regarded as the ‘Wedding of the Century’!
Take a look at the events that unfolded at this grand and elaborate wedding festivities of Madelaine and Jacob!
4 Day Long Bachelorette Party At Amangiri, Utah, USA
The wedding festivities kick started with a 4 day long bachelorette party that took place at one of the most luxurious properties in USA – the Amangiri, Utah. Planned by Rachel Birthistle and her talented team at Lake Como Weddings the party was nothing less than an extravaganza. The florals were done by Kiana Underwood of Tulipina and it looked wow! Each day had a different themes such as pink, golden, Alien’s amongst us, and a spin on Marie Antoinette’s Last Halloween! The pictures are enough to speak for themselves. Take a look!
Grand Welcome Dinner At The Opera Garnier in Paris
The welcome dinner for the couple and their guests was held at one of the most iconic locations in Paris, the Opera Garnier, and it looked nothing less than stunning. The guests were flown to Paris in private jets, and the entire experience was inspired by the Opera’s rich history and abundance of art, again meticulously planned by Rachel Birthistle and her team at Lake Como Weddings.
We got in touch with Kiana Underwood, the Founder of Tulipina, who was the floral designer for the event and she shared with us her inspirations behind the beautiful floral setup. She says that their goal was to create opulence without excess. “A series of floral vignettes in a gradient from pink to peach to green to blue were created along the Opera stairs. To make a striking impact, I opted for coral charm peonies, ordering over 4000 of them to complement the Opera’s elegance without overwhelming it” she explained. And the tablescapes too aimed for simplicity, accentuating the intricate floral art.
The Enigmatic & Charming Wedding Ceremony At The Chateau de Villette in Paris
Chateau de Villette, a part of The Heritage Collection was the chosen venue where Madelaine and Jacob exchanged vows. The venue is one of the most remarkable chateaus in France and is also classified as a historical landmark. The ceremony spelt luxury in every way. Madelaine walked down in the aisle in a custom Dior haute couture dress that was embroidered with Madelaine’s favourite flower along with a matching cathedral veil. The ceremony exuded sheer elegance and was truly a class apart.
The after party was held in a black greenhouse where it was transformed to give the vibe of a high-end nightclub, where the couple and their guests danced the night away. And to top it off, there was a Maroon5 concert as well! Now that is an after party we’d love to be a part of!
With all the glitz, glamour and grandeur that this wedding was synonymous to, it was definitely a visual spectacle and in all tru aspects ‘Wedding of the Century’. But hey, like they say a great wedding is worth breaking the bank for, and this one will go down in the books of history for the very same!
Take a look at the dream team of vendors that made the wedding festivities come to life!
