Welcome, I'm candice
I don't simply create wedding designs. I write stories to be lived.
I am the founder of The Wedding Novelist. For many years, I worked in the world of books, surrounded by stories, words, characters and imaginary worlds. It was there that I discovered that a beautiful story is never simply made of pages.
It is built through details, emotions, atmosphere and those rare moments when you feel as though you have stepped into a world that belongs entirely to you.
Then came the desire to write differently. To leave the pages behind and bring stories to life.
And so, The Wedding Novelist was born. Here, every wedding begins as a blank page.
Whether your story unfolds in Provence, the Basque Country, or somewhere across the world, I create and design weddings and elopements as deeply immersive experiences.
Celebrations that are not simply beautiful.
Celebrations that are felt.
Celebrations that become stories — the kind you continue to tell long after the final page has been turned.
Welcome to The Wedding Novelist.
Your story begins here.
A thoughtful approach to timeless storytelling
I listen to your story. I gather your inspirations, your memories, your dreams — sometimes the ones that are still difficult to put into words. Then, much like an author shaping a novel, I bring the chapters together: a colour palette, a texture, a particular light, a flower, an antique object, a beautifully set table, a piece of china, an unexpected detail...
Nothing is left to chance.
I am drawn to vintage, maximalist, romantic and atmospheric worlds. To timeworn textures, objects that carry the traces of another life, beautiful fabrics, abundant florals and details that feel as though they have always existed somewhere, waiting to be discovered.
I deeply believe in the beauty of things that have a soul.
An antique candelabra, a piece of vintage china, a timeworn armchair, an old piece of paper... These objects already have a story to tell. My role is to weave them into yours — to let them converse with contemporary elements and create a world that feels as though it was imagined exclusively for you.
Your wedding should look like no other.
I am looking for your atmosphere.
The one that makes your guests feel as though they have stepped into another time, another place, perhaps even another story.
The one that feels unmistakably like you, right down to the details that only you may notice.
