A Formal Pink-and-Gold Destination Wedding in France

August 31, 2011

1 of 10

After months of wedding planning, the groom, in Ralph Lauren, and the bride, in Vera Wang, made it official in front of 165 guests at a private club in Paris where her parents have a home (coincidentally, their 1976 nuptials were catered by the "relatively unknown" Martha Stewart). 

Here, Hotel Le Bristol, where the bride got ready, overlooks the Eiffel Tower, as does the ceremony site.
