• Welcome to the blog of Luxe Fête Event Planning and Design Studio. My name is Nathalie Cadet-James and I am an event planner and designer. This blog is a place where you can connect with me, check out my latest projects and designs, and hopefully be inspired to create your dream wedding or event. I love designing and planning magical events. Before channeling my creative energy into this field, I was an attorney at top law firms and clerked for a Federal Judge. It did not take long to realize I’d rather be telling stories by transforming spaces and creating beautiful atmospheres. I am fortunate to be considered an "industry innovator" and “event guru” because of my unique and fresh design approach. You can find our work featured in many of today’s premier design and bridal publications. I proudly call the Magic City of Miami my home as well as my inspiration. The Miami of today offers far more than just sun and fun. Miami is truly a world class destination, rich with history, culture, food, music and philanthropy. I am honored to serve on the Executive Committee of Friends of the New World Symphony and the Overtown Music Project. Thanks for stopping by, I'd love to hear from you! And yes, we happily travel anywhere in the world. - Nat

Inspired By: Domino Magazine

I still curl up to read my old Domino Magazines for inspiration for my events. So many wonderful ideas on decor, color combinations and textiles. The October 2008 issue is one of my favorites. Kelley Wearstler, queen of Hollywood Regency, graced the cover and shared some great styling tips. I wish Domino Magazine would find...

Fall Weddings are Upon Us

Can’t say I am a fan of the cold weather (I’m an island girl for life) but I do love me some fall clothing and fall colors. Such regal and rich tones. I guess it doesn’t hurt that cold weather leads to more cuddling, which leads to more love, which leads to more weddings, which...
