etsy and Mark exchanged vows in Monet’s Garden in Giverny, France in the company of their closest friends and family. “My mom is an artist, so I have always loved art, and Mark knew that I had lived in France for a year in college,” says Betsy of the many reasons why their wedding in France was the perfect combination of their non-traditional and artistic personalities. The couple later had a stateside reception at the Memphis Botanic Garden, and did everything possible to bring a taste of France home. Thoughtful details included a 25-foot Eiffel Tower, sidewalk artists sketching portraits of guests, a mime, string musicians and a singer performing with an accordion player. “The main room felt like Moulin Rouge in Paris,” says Betsy of her inspired reception at the Memphis Botanic Garden.
“It was more beautiful in real life than either of us had imagined.”
