NYC

My dears,

We've just come back from our honeymoon in NYC. I'm still trying to figure out what to do with all the wedding stories, whether to share them here or somewhere else. But you'll be informed. First I have to wait for the pictures! In any case, a report on NYC will soon be here.

And how are you?

Iriarte Jauregia & wedding location madness

Hello readers.

As you know, I am immersed in wedding planning with less than 100 days to go for the big day! I haven't spoken much about the whole process here. Partly because I didn't want this space to become a wedding blog, partly because it was a bit stressful and partly because well, I am lazy. :)

But I thought I'd share something with you. In the very beginning, before I even got engaged, I dreamt about getting married in Iriarte Jauregia. It's such such such a beautiful place. Decorated with such taste and in the middle of the mountains... a truly dreamy place. It's a hotel, but they are so flexible and nice that you can basically use the space as you wish for your whole wedding weekend.

We eventually decided not to get married here though. There were several reasons: it was just a bit too far for our guests and it was a bit too expensive for us. On top of that, we had to build a tent outside the main house, and let me tell you, tents in the Basque Country are not like the ones you see in american blogs. They are ugly. And making them pretty, well...that costs a fortune. So we decided it wasn't for us.

I do sometimes still think of it. Style wise it would have been perfect for us and the idea of having a weekend and not a day is also a nice idea. Don't get me wrong, I am thrilled about our wedding location, but dreams are hard to forget sometimes. I am sure we'll go one day though. And if you are around, you should too!

Have a nice day!

 

 

 

oh la la

 

I just came back from a weekend to Metz. Being abroad, trying to speak French, sleeping at hotels...it feels like holiday even if it's only for two days. {I will tell you about the new Centre Pompidou (the main reason for our visit) tomorrow.}

Did you have a good weekend?

I know it's summer when...

...my house is full of peonies.

...I constantly imagine myself at the Anemi Hotel (seen via The Style Files)
