• Welcome to the blog of Luxe Fête Event Planning and Design Studio. My name is Nathalie Cadet-James and I am a Haitian-American 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 Inspiration Board

Monday, November 8, 2010 Posted in Inspired By

We created this inspiration board for a wonderful couple from New York, Satoe and Jean-Marc. Satoe, originally from Japan and Jean-Marc, originally from Haiti, knew they wanted to create an atmosphere where East meets West [their story]. When they came to Luxe Fête, we knew we had to take our cue from the Japanese art of floral arrangement, Ikebana. It is an art form that pays homage to balance, harmony, and form. Elegant simplicity at its best. All Satoe wanted was lavender. All Jean-Marc wanted was “soul.” Both knew they’d be meeting each other on the beach someday to say, “I do.” It was so beautiful! But first, our inspiration board for their wedding.

P.S. Stay tuned. We’ll also be revealing our renderings for their magical day!
