In this episode of The We Do Collective, Fallon takes you behind the scenes of a wedding in Quimper, Brittany, France. With 120 guests, a French groom, an American bride, this celebration was full of love, culture, and lessons learned.

From language barriers and family logistics to rain plans and vendor management, Fallon shares what went beautifully and what she’d do differently. Learn why having a planner who understands both partners is essential, why you should fall in love with your rain plan just as much as Plan A, and how to keep your wedding footprint—and stress—light when planning abroad.

Whether you’re dreaming of a French château wedding or simply want to avoid common destination wedding pitfalls, this episode is packed with insights to help you plan smarter, smoother, and with more joy.

✨ The We Do Collective — where we do weddings together.

In this episode of The We Do Collective, Fallon Carter shares a behind-the-scenes recap of a Paris wedding she recently planned at Hôtel d’Évreux on Place Vendôme. With only two months to pull everything together, Fallon walks through the challenges and wins—from managing guest logistics and unexpected timing issues to navigating French catering rules and clunky transitions.

She breaks down what worked beautifully (like choosing a turnkey venue) and what she’d do differently (spoiler: always hire a DJ). This candid reflection offers practical advice for anyone planning a destination wedding in France—or anywhere abroad—while giving you a peek into the realities of running luxury events across the world.

If you’re a couple dreaming of Paris or a planner looking for hard-earned tips, this episode is packed with lessons you’ll want to take notes on.

In this episode of The We Do Collective, Fallon Carter is joined by the incomparable Selina Howard, founder of Vainglorious Brides, to dive deep into the art of bridal styling.
