La fete

If you’re trying to decide between a Greek getaway or an Eastern adventure for your honeymoon, then international wedding planner and founder of La Fete, Charlotte Ricard-Quesada, is here to help. She offers Vows & Venues readers invaluable insight on tips and details from both locations for anyone researching honeymoon destinations themselves!

My husband and I were fortunate enough to experience two radically different trips as newlyweds: a three-week honeymoon travelling throughout Japan and a long weekend ‘mini-moon’ if you will, in Mykonos. Both very different, but both equally memorable: which are you more drawn towards?

La Fête, the luxury wedding planning service, wins ‘Best Planner/Stylist’ in the 2019 UK Wedding Awards. Led by leading bridal publications You & Your Wedding and hitched.co.uk, the UK Wedding Awards recognises and rewards the very best of the industry.

Charlotte Ricard-Quesada, founder of wedding planning company La Fete shares her tips for perfect wedding hair, so your locks are at their best for your big day.

Research 

On your wedding day, your hair is even more of an important feature than normal. The first step to take is actually looking at what you like, style wise. Is it an updo? Is it loose waves? Plaits? See what you are naturally drawn to and keep a Pinterest board or folder with your inspirations. Do also take your face shape and overall features into consideration to some extent: it’s certainly not an absolute rule but bear in mind that a style will look very different on a square jawline than on a heart shaped face.

La Fête, who truly have boutique experience at their heart have predicted that proposal planning will be the next big trend, after an influx of male enquiries for their services have appeared.

Created in 2016, La Fête is renowned for their wedding and event planning services, from traditional weddings to extravagant parties; La Fête doesn’t just create experiences - they create memories. Priding themselves on the diversity of their projects and thinking outside of the box to deliver the most memorable moments, with the majority of client liaising being predominately female. That is until recently when an increase of male enquiries for their wedding services materialised and now account for over a third of queries.
