From the moment they arrived, Juliet and Joffrey’s celebration was a vision of sophistication and style. Stepping off the plane with their matching Steamline luggage, the couple made a grand entrance. Juliet looked radiant in an Elie Saab haute couture suit adorned with delicate pastel floral appliqués, setting the tone for the opulence that was to follow. She accessorized her ensemble with gold Elie Saab heels, black satin opera gloves, and a black satin bow, adding a touch of glamour to her look.
As the couple opted to privatize Le Grand Contrôle, the luxury hotel located inside the grounds of the château, they were provided with VIP access to the enchanting gardens of Versailles. The couple spent the afternoon strolling through the meticulously manicured grounds, soaking in the history and beauty that surrounded them.
The highlight of the celebration was a cocktail party held in the Library of Le Grand Contrôle, where Juliet and Joffrey welcomed their closest friends. The bride stunned in a second Elie Saab creation, a breathtaking haute couture gown crafted from illusion tulle embroidered with crystal filament and pearls. Her ensemble, completed with diamond studs and black satin opera gloves, exuded old-world glamour.
As guests sipped cocktails and enjoyed gourmand delicacies by Alain Ducasse, they were serenaded by the sounds of classic French bistro music played by Jazz Around Midnight. The evening was a perfect blend of elegance and celebration, a true reflection of Juliet and Joffrey’s love story.
