A Continental romance mapped for a London couple


Stuart and Kate were enjoying one too many glasses of red wine at Parisian bar, La Palette – once the haunt of Picasso and Matisse, when they decided that after many years together, they’d get married. A year later, they tied the knot and celebrated with a series of events in London - a ceremony at Islington Town Hall, Lunch at The Connaught and an after party at Hoxton Hall. Once they’d recovered from all the excitement and celebration, the couple made their way back to Paris to stay at the Hotel du Petit Moulin, designed by Christian Lacroix. As a memorable gift to his new wife, Stuart commissioned Bespoke Gift Maps to record the couple’s romantic series of marital events. The map depicts the streets of London at the top half, with all the wedding destinations labelled and points of interest highlighted. Beautiful illustrations of La Palette and the Hotel du Petit Moulin nestle in the bottom corners of the map surrounded by a unique depiction of Paris. A small illustration of the eurostar snakes down towards Paris past the couples names and the date of the wedding in the centre of the map. Now Kate can frame the memories of the wedding and remember them every day as she embarks on married life with Stuart.
