• 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

Ikebana on the Beach – The Pictures

When Brooklynites Satoe and Jean-Marc first met, neither spoke the other’s language and blushing smiles pretty much said it all. Fast forward several years later and the two stood before their family and friends for an intimate ceremony on South Beach where this time even words weren’t enough. Satoe, originally from Japan and Jean-Marc, originally from...

Inspired by: Candy

Yes folks. I am inspired by Candy. Both the food and the song. “Strawberry! Rasberry! All those good things!” Who doesn’t get down when they hear this classic Cameo song? And who is not blissfully happy at an event with an Amy Atlas dessert bar? It’s like candy, ohhhhhhhh .
