Taymoor Atighetchi, the founder of Papier, knows the power of a hand-written note.
It was relaxed, unexpected, and just perfect, Sophie recalls.

Weve always loved the citys unique charm and timeless beauty, Sophie shares.
Plus, their wedding happened to coincide with the Venice Art Biennalea fact the art-loving couple couldnt resist.
I walked down the aisle with our nine-month-old son, Sophie says.
It was a special, if slightly overwhelming, moment.
As for the bridal wardrobe, Sophies looks were anchored by a slip dress from Khaite.
I tried on upwards of 20 bridal dresses!
A friend suggested she re-wear it and add a chiffon cape for a modern take on a veil.
It was the perfect finishing touch, she says.
(Her something borrowed.)
Taymor wore two bespoke suits by Charlie Casely-Hayford for the occasion.
The candlelit tablescape, designed by Evelina the Florist, was opulent yet intimate, Sophie recalls.
The evening continued with cocktails, a giant tiramisu, and live music under the stars.
Yet both are still cherishing the joy of the weekend.
The best advice I got was to just enjoy it, says Taymoor.
And Im glad I didit was the most memorable and loving two days of my life.
