Sometimes mother really does know best.
This was undoubtedly the case when Alix Creel and Brando Brandolini dAdda were set up.
I was very intrigued by her work, as I was interested in getting into the interior design world.

After they met, Muriel was adamant that Alix meet her son Brando.
And the rest is history.
Jet-lagged and disoriented, she walked out of her bedroom and into the living room to start her day.
Brando asked me to come into the kitchen and give him a hug, Alix says.
He had just returned from getting us coffee, and I was still in a robe.
But he got down on one knee [right there] and asked me to marry him.
It couldnt have been more organic or more us.
The wedding took place in Paris on the weekend of October 12.
On Thursday, there was a gathering at Alixs uncles apartment on rue de Seine.
Then, we had our welcome dinner on Friday, which was at the iconic La Coupole Brasserie.
The evening was filled with music, dancers, classic French food, and ended with dancing.
On Saturday, the ceremony was held at St. Clotilde Church in the 7th arrondissement.
We had so much fun planning our wedding, Alix remembers.
We automatically clicked and loved all of their ideas.
We would do it all over again and againbut wouldnt change a thing!
There are so many choices out there, she says.
As for jewelry, Alix has always kept her lineup simple and classic.
