Your dedicated wedding planner
Florence Giraudo
My name is Florence, I'm a wedding and event planner since 2019 in Aix-en-Provence.
I'm a self-employed artist and, since 2022, a member of the Shades Waves agency.
I specialize in elegant, romantic and refined weddings for French couples wishing to get married in Provence, the Luberon and the Alpilles.
I'm calm and caring by nature, devoted to the brides and grooms I accompany, and discreet at weddings. I've always been drawn to the elegance of beautiful things and the beauty of detail.
What I love about my job is accompanying and building relationships with future brides and grooms, managing, planning and coordinating their wedding day alongside them.
An event organized with me means calm, serenity, benevolence, discretion and respect.

On November 11, 2023 I celebrated my 18th birthday, so I decided to put my trust in Vanessa and her team, and I thank them deeply without them the evening would never have been so perfect, a majestic decoration that immediately won over all my guests, everything I wished for Vanessa made it happen, not a detail forgotten. I'd also like to thank the DJ she recommended, who was top-notch and set the mood for the whole evening! I had a wonderful evening and it would never have been possible without your work! Many thanks
