A Paris Wedding Featured by Vogue: Designing a Celebration Inspired by Fashion, Culture, and Timeless Elegance

A wondrous glimpse of A Paris Wedding Featured by Vogue Brasil.

There are celebrations that are beautiful, and then there are celebrations that tell a story.

At Alejandra Poupel Events, every wedding begins with a single question: How do we create an experience that feels entirely unique to the couple while honoring the destination that surrounds them?

The answer is never found in trends alone. It comes from weaving together architecture, culture, fashion, and meaningful details into a marvelous celebration.

This philosophy guided every decision behind Elisa Zarzur and Alexandre Negrão’s wedding weekend in Paris.

Set against some of France’s most iconic landmarks, the celebration became an elegant tribute to Paris itself. A city where history, artistry, and haute couture exist in perfect harmony.

A Love Letter to Paris

Few cities offer the richness of Paris when it comes to creating a destination wedding experience.

This weekend began with a breathtaking ceremony at La Madeleine, one of the city’s most recognizable churches, before guests were welcomed to the magnificent Château de Ferrières.

Surrounded by grand architecture, manicured gardens, and centuries of history, the château provided an unforgettable backdrop for an evening.

Rather than simply selecting beautiful venues, every location was chosen because it contributed to the story of the weekend.

Where Fashion Meets Event Design

Paris has long been synonymous with fashion, making couture an essential part of the celebration’s narrative.

One of the defining moments of the weekend was Elisa’s custom Dior gown. This gown is an extraordinary creation that embodied craftsmanship at its highest level.

Working alongside renowned stylist Rita Lazzarotti, every bridal look was thoughtfully curated to complement not only the bride’s personal style but also each setting throughout the celebration.

Rita’s expertise brought an editorial perspective to the wedding wardrobe, ensuring every fashion moment felt intentional and effortlessly sophisticated.

Much like haute couture, event design is never the result of one creative vision alone. It is the collaboration of talented artisans, designers, and specialists who dedicate countless hours to perfecting every detail.

Fashion inspires the way we approach celebrations—not simply through aesthetics, but through storytelling.

A wedding dress, color palettes, florals, the sequence of guest experiences. These details are part of a larger narrative that feels authentic to the couple.

Designing an Experience That Feels Effortless

Guests experience a wedding over the course of a weekend, but behind every seamless celebration lies months of thoughtful planning.

Every floral installation, tablescape,  and carefully orchestrated transition is designed to feel natural while guiding guests through a series of memorable moments.

For Elisa and Alexandre, the celebration balanced grandeur with intimacy. While the scale of the wedding reflected the magnificence of its Parisian setting, the heart of the weekend remained centered on creating meaningful experiences for the people they love most.

It is this balance that transforms an event from something beautiful into something unforgettable.

The Power of Creative Collaboration

Luxury celebration is built through collaboration.

No extraordinary wedding is created by one person alone. It takes the expertise of our planners, designers, florists, photographers, filmmakers, hospitality professionals, musicians, stylists, artisans, and countless creative partners working toward a shared vision.

One of the greatest privileges of our work is collaborating with exceptional talent from around the world. Each partner contributes their own artistry, elevating every detail while ensuring the celebration feels cohesive from beginning to end.

When every creative voice is aligned, the result becomes far greater than the sum of its parts.

 

A Story That Lives Beyond the Celebration

Being featured by Vogue Brasil is a wonderful honor. More than a recognition, however, moments like these serve as a reminder of the incredible collaboration. What is trul an honor is to recognize the remarkable team who brought this vision to life.

Long after the final toast and the last dance, photographs, films, and published stories become lasting reminders of the emotions shared throughout the weekend. They allow couples to relive one of the most important moments of their lives while preserving those memories for future generations.

For us, this is the true purpose of event design.

To create celebrations that foster connection, honor personal stories, and leave a lasting impression long after guests have returned home.

We are deeply grateful to Elisa Zarzur and Alexandre Negrão for trusting us with such an important chapter of their lives. We are equally thankful to the extraordinary creative team—including Rita Lazzarotti, whose impeccable styling helped shape the wedding’s unforgettable fashion narrative—and to Vogue Brasil for sharing this beautiful celebration with the world.
