Alix Creel and Brando Brandolini d’Adda's wedding in Paris was a testament to their love and a celebration of family and tradition. From their serendipitous meeting orchestrated by Brando's mother to their intimate ceremony at St. Clotilde Church, their journey was filled with heartfelt moments and personalized touches.
Sometimes mother really does know best. This adage proved undeniably true in the case of Alix Creel and Brando Brandolini d’Adda who were set up by Muriel Brandolini, Brando’s mother. Alix, a marketing professional for a luxury travel company, first met Muriel at Sant Ambroeus uptown while having coffee with her mother. Alix expressed keen interest in interior design, sparking Muriel's enthusiasm to introduce her to her son, Brando.
Muriel extended an invitation for Alix and her mother to a Christmas dinner at their home in December 2019, marking the beginning of their love story. By September 2023, the couple was residing together in New York City. Alix, returning from a work trip to Los Angeles, was still grappling with jet lag when Brando proposed to her in the morning. He had just returned from fetching coffee, and Alix, still in her robe, was summoned to the kitchen where Brando, on one knee, asked for her hand in marriage. It was a spontaneous and heartfelt moment that perfectly encapsulated their relationship. That evening, they celebrated their engagement at The Lowell Hotel with Champagne, joined by their mothers for a glass of wine.The wedding took place in Paris during the weekend of October 12th. Thursday commenced with a family-only gathering at Alix's uncle's apartment on rue de Seine, offering Brando's extended family the opportunity to meet Alix's. The following evening, the welcome dinner was held at the iconic La Coupole Brasserie, immersing guests in the quintessential Parisian experience. The ambiance was alive with music, dancers, and traditional French cuisine, culminating in a night of revelry.On Saturday, the ceremony was held at St. Clotilde Church in the 7th arrondissement. The wedding was a testament to the couple's meticulous planning and shared vision. Alix had always envisioned a custom wedding dress and collaborated with Wes Gordon, a renowned designer. After exploring various bridal wear options at prestigious ateliers like Dior, Reem Acra, and Vera Wang, she realized her ideal dress was something entirely different. Guided by the talented team at Carolina Herrera, she found the perfect design. Alix also collaborated with Wes Gordon to create two additional outfits, a halter midi dress with custom embellishments for the welcome dinner and her own unique wedding gown. For jewelry, Alix drew inspiration from her family heirloom collection. She honored her great-grandmother's legacy by wearing her diamond necklace and sapphire earrings during the wedding weekend. The St. Clotilde ceremony held special significance as Alix had lived directly behind the church during her studies at the American University in Paris. Brando's parents also resided in a nearby apartment overlooking the church, solidifying their shared dream of exchanging vows in this sacred space. The ceremony was elevated by readings from Alix's mother, Jennifer Creel, her brother Lion Creel, and the groom's sister Filippa Brandolini, adding a personal touch to their union
