Wedding planning and event production, held by one house
Madame Wedding Design is a Parisian house of wedding planning and production. The house does not sell a list of services. It runs each wedding as a complete production, with its own method, its own tools and a weekly rhythm that begins long before the days themselves.

Madame Wedding Design offers full wedding planning and event production, and creative direction, for private weddings worldwide, from a production budget of €250,000.
Three ways to work with the house
The Signature Production
Led by Estelle Bogaert
Multi-day weddings, destinations and large-scale design. Estelle leads the production herself, from the first conversation to the last evening, with on-site teams of fifty to one hundred.
Estelle plans the wedding with two of the house's producers, who each hold a part of the production. The same method and the same standards, at a different scale.
For families whose planning is already in hand. The house composes the aesthetic language of the celebration, concept, scenography, florals, lighting, paper and wardrobe counsel, and directs it on the day.
Every wedding planned and produced by the house follows the same method, from the first conversation to the last keepsake.
I
Wedding Profiling
Before any venue or vendor, the house comes to know the couple and their families.
II
Storytelling and artistic direction
Each wedding told as a story, each event written as a chapter.
III
Project management
An 18-month plan, a calendar of decisions, a weekly call.
IV
Budget management
One envelope, fully transparent, reported every month.
V
Guest experience
Every guest looked after, from arrival to the last evening.
VI
Production on site
Two or three planners from the first conversation, joined on site by coordinators, the team growing with the size and complexity of each celebration.
VII
After the wedding
The honeymoon, the heirlooms, every account closed.
What the house holds
01
Estate search and exclusive use
The house finds the estate, visits it and negotiates exclusive use of the whole property, so that for the length of the celebration it belongs to one family.
02
The multi-day programme
Welcome party, rehearsal dinner, wedding, the lunch the day after. Each event is written with its own purpose, its own setting and its own place in the rhythm of the days.
03
Design and scenography
Concept, tablescapes, florals, lighting and structures, composed as one world and adapted to every event.
04
Guest hospitality
Rooming, arrivals, transfers and an on-site concierge, so that guests travelling from abroad never have to think about how.
05
Two families, one celebration
Protocol, traditions and the parents' place. The house makes room for both families and for what each of them holds dear.
06
Wedding identity and communication
A visual identity for the celebration, from the save the date to the menus, with a private website and every message sent to guests.
07
Entertainment and music
Musicians, performers and the shape of each evening, chosen for the families and the place, from the ceremony to the last dance.
08
Privacy and publication
Non-disclosure agreements as standard, vetted teams and closed venues. Publication happens only if the family wishes, and on their terms.
09
Heirlooms
The guest book, the table linen, the keepsakes. What remains after the wedding is chosen and made with the same care as the days themselves.
Questions about the services
What is the difference between a wedding planner and a production house?
A planner coordinates suppliers. A production house also designs, contracts and runs every event on site with its own team. Madame Wedding Design does both, from the first conversation to the last evening.
Who leads a wedding at the house?
Estelle Bogaert is the lead planner of every Signature Production. A House Wedding is planned by Estelle with two of the house's producers, who each hold a part of the production.
What is creative direction for a wedding?
The house designs the aesthetic of the celebration, concept, scenography, florals, lighting and paper, and directs it on the day, while the planning and logistics stay with the family or their planner.
How is the fee set?
The house's fee is a flat fee, set by the scale of each production and agreed together. It is separate from the production budget.
