We’re talking stunning venues, a star-studded guest list and several designer bridal gowns – and we’ve not even got to their first dance extravaganza yet! Emma Wilson, Creative Director at Story of Your Day, explains all to FWS…

Designer Elegance: Bridal Gowns by Michael Cinco and Tom Ford Suits

“Vicki and Hayden were getting married after 12 years together at the start of September and from start to finish, it was quite simply an unforgettable experience. On the Friday morning, I met with the couple and their daughter Scarlet Snow for breakfast at the Ritz Paris to discuss the final plans before the celebrations began that evening with a ‘welcome cruise’ on the River Seine.”

An Intimate First Dance: A Magical Moment Set to Take Me As I Am

“It was an amazing party with speeches and song performances from all their friends, who happened to be TV presenters, opera singers and other celebrities. On Saturday, the pair tied the knot in a grand and gorgeous wedding ceremony at The American Church in Paris ceremony, followed by a grand ball at the Palais Garnier. The gorgeous bride Vicki wore a collection of stunning gowns by designer Michael Cinco, while Hayden looked resplendent in Tom Ford. And not forgetting THAT aftershave… “French Lover”, which the groom wore after asking my advice on the morning of the wedding!”

Performances and Celebrations: A Night to Remember

“At the ball, their wonderful first dance was to the tune of their own recording of Take Me As I Am from the soundtrack of the classic film Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde – it was just like a fairy tale. There were even performances of songs from Phantom Of The Opera before a sumptuous dinner and speeches.”
