An intimate renew of vows in Paris

The Medici Fountain, Luxembourg gardens

The Medici Fountain is one of our top wedding location in Paris and remains one of the iconic landmarks of the Luxembourg Garden to elope in Paris, attracting visitors who come to admire its beauty and historical significance. It serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of the Medici family and their contribution to the cultural heritage of both Italy and France. The Medici Fountain became a focal point of the Luxembourg Garden, surrounded by lush greenery and statues. It features a classical design with a central basin, adorned with sculptures of nymphs and allegorical figures, and a large semi-circular wall with niches for additional sculptures. These are the reason we like to celenbrate the ceremony there.
The location has a strong history: the fountain’s origins trace back to the 17th century when Queen Marie de’ Medici, the widow of King Henry IV of France and regent for her son King Louis XIII, commissioned it. Marie de’ Medici, being of the illustrious Medici family of Florence, wanted to recreate a piece of her native Italy in the heart of Paris. The fountain was designed by Tommaso Francini, an Italian hydraulic engineer, and was initially located in the garden of the Luxembourg Palace (now the Senat), which was Marie de’ Medici’s residence. It was part of a larger project to create a series of gardens and parks around the palace, inspired by the Boboli Gardens in Florence.

Renewing your vows in Paris: to reassert your love and dedication

The couple get married in Chicago and moved to St Louis, where they live now. Why Paris as a destination to renew their vows?? They said:“Stacey has always loved Paris, but what makes it special to us as a couple is that we had our honeymoon there. During our honeymoon, we promised we would return for our 10-year anniversary. We have a picture together in Luxembourg Gardens and will be so happy to renew our vows in that beautiful place”. As you can understand, their wedding was the beginning of a long story, and as a step in their marriage they come back here to celebrate their 10 years of wedding and renew their vows. Another fact showing this vow renewal has a greta value for them, as they said :

“We are so grateful to have our best friends, L and C, by our side that day, especially because they were not able to attend our wedding 10 years ago. They are like family to us and to our children and we are so blessed to have them in our lives.”
