At the turn of the year, we’ll be releasing curated Pinterest boards to help inspire your looks — consider it the start of a new fashion cycle for our wedding weekend. In the meantime, here’s what to expect:
Saturday, May 23 — Welcome Party: Surrealism on the Seine
What do the USA, Norway, Chile, and France have in common? Red, white, and blue. And yes—we’re both patriotic people.
For this golden-hour cruise along the Seine, we’re leaning into Parisienne Blue, softened by crème and ivory drapery on deck, and accented with crimson details—like the petals of a poppy in a Monet painting (Coquelicots).
Surrealist accessories hiding in plain sight: gloves, clocks, sculptural shapes, or one delightful surprise. Guests should dress cocktail chic: polished enough for toasts, relaxed enough for dancing on deck.
Think outside the box—or inside a Sokolsky bubble drifting down the Seine (see pic). Have fun with it!
Sunday, May 24 — Wedding at Le Meurice & Reception
The ceremony will be followed by Pure Imagination in Paris—a reception of earthly delights and unforgettable moments.
Attire is black tie. Think timeless silhouettes and a palette of classic tones, alongside subtle color moments. The ceremony space will be brought to life with celestial golds, silky yellows, chartreuse greens, and shades of blue across the decor, tables, and setting. For attire, feel free to lean into these tones or simply dress in a way that feels aligned with the palette. For women, elegant gowns are encouraged, with flowing fabrics such as silk or satin, and soft embellishments. Please avoid white, ivory, or cream, which are reserved for the bride. Think old Parisian glamour and timeless elegance. For men, tuxedos or dark suits with polished finishes. Think 007.
For those planning to rent attire, we recommend arranging rentals in the U.S. in advance, as sizing and availability in Paris can be more limited.
As these events take place in the heart of Paris, expect a lively atmosphere, and a few admiring glances from tourists. You may find yourself feeling like the protagonist in a Fitzgerald novel. Given the full day of festivities, we recommend dressing with comfort in mind, including shoes that will carry you effortlessly from day to night.
Some of our venues limit the number of guests we can bring. We did our best to include Plus 1s on the invitations. If a plus 1 is not formally named on your invitation or receives a separate invite, there may not be room.
If there is confusion about this, let us know.
While we adore your petits chéris, our wedding will be an adults-only affair, with the exception of the children in our wedding party (our little brothers). Consider this your invitation to sip champagne under Dalí’s ceiling, linger through every waltz, and let Paris sweep you away for the night.
For those who have asked, we are so grateful. Your presence in Paris is truly the greatest gift to us. For anyone who wishes to contribute further or cannot attend, we have created a registry on Zola.
There will be books. If you’d like to steep yourself in the atmosphere of wonder, art, time, and memory, we’ve curated a reading list to help you arrive already dreaming. Some are surreal, some are spiritual, some inspire the weekend: Einstein’s Dreams by Alan Lightman, Diary of a Genius by Salvador Dalí, Lumen by Camille Flammarion, The Overstory by Richard Powers, Where the Heart Beats: John Cage, Zen Buddhism, and the Inner Life of Artists by Kay Larson, Leonora Carrington: Surrealism, Alchemy and Art by Susan L. Aberth, Paradiso by Dante Alighieri, The Time Machine by H.G. Wells, and Secret of Secrets by Dan Brown. And if all of those feel like too much, simply read The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. Everything you need is in there.
And if you are in New York before the wedding, you might visit our wedding chef Alain Ducasse’s restaurant, Benoit, or stop by the Little Prince sculpture in front of Villa Albertine.
Paris is at her loveliest in May, with gardens in bloom and café terraces buzzing with life. Romina has gathered a list of her favorite restaurants, bars, and museums here for you to explore, and the French Open (Roland-Garros) will also be taking place, adding to the city’s lively spirit. For day trips, we recommend visiting Giverny to see Monet’s lilies in full bloom, Versailles to marvel at the Hall of Mirrors (one inspiration for our wedding reception), and Fontainebleau for an idyllic stroll through its gardens. And if you’re tempted to keep the celebration going, the bride and groom will be traveling to the South of France afterward — the place where they fell in love summer after summer.
