PARIS
Having lived in The City of Lights for over twenty-five years as a Miami-born expat, Alejandra Poupel
has a global reputation for setting trends rather than following them; a rare quality in the luxury wedding industry. She often shares artistic passions (and travel schedules) with her discerning, jet-set clientele. Her unparalleled expertise in fashion and contemporary art holds a golden key that often unlocks gilded Parisian doors to couturiers, private homes, galleries, and museums. ANY PREDICTIONS ON TRENDS FOR 2024? “Clients want the welcome dinner to be very different and in sharp contrast
to the wedding night. My clients like to choose boat parties on the Seine or Moulin Rouge-themed parties so they can let their hair down and mix before the big day.” THE PRETTIEST PLACE TO DINE IN PARIS? “BONNIE for dinner at sunset for the incredible view, and LA GIRAFE for its amazing terrace and view of the Eiffel Tower.” BEST NEW HOTEL OR VENUE IN PARIS? “HOTEL DE LA MARINE.”
