In early April the trees were in full bloom: vows under the pink blossoms, after a first look at the Louvre, then a vintage convertible through Paris. ## In this blog 1.

Paris’s cherry trees bloom for only a short while each spring, so choosing a date months ahead is always a small gamble. Their morning in early April was a lucky one: the trees were in full bloom. - ![Pink cherry blossoms framing the Eiffel Tower on the morning of the elopement](https://cdn.elopement.paris/assets/2026/10/08002134/aphrodite-michael-paris-elopement-20260406085058-DSC08827-834_a.jpg) ## How It Started: A Twelve-Hour First Date Aphrodite and Michael met in August 2024, at her brother’s softball game. Michael was shy at first, but after the game he asked her to dinner, and they hit it off. He did not ask for her number, though, and she wondered if he was just not that into her. The very next day her brother texted her: Michael would like your number. Michael called right away to ask when they could go out again. Their first date started with brunch on a Saturday at 10am. Then they went for a walk around a state park and kept walking until 2pm, stopped for lunch, and walked and talked some more, until around 7:30pm Aphrodite said her feet were killing her, and they went to dinner. Breakfast, lunch and dinner: twelve hours on their first date, and they have been inseparable ever since. They got engaged on 25 April 2025, the same day they closed on their dream house. Aphrodite had dreamed of Paris since she was a little girl, and she had never been. She wanted to share the city of love with the one, and it took many years, she says, but she finally found him. There was one more reason. Aphrodite is named after the Greek goddess of love, and as she put it: how fitting for the goddess of love to be married in the city of love. ## A First Look in the Hallway of the Louvre Their day started at the Louvre, early enough to have it almost to themselves. They had chosen a first look, so they came separately, and Michael waited in the hallway of the Louvre for Aphrodite to find him. It was the first time he saw her as his bride, almost a year after their engagement. - ![Michael waiting for Aphrodite in the hallway of the Louvre before their first look](https://cdn.elopement.paris/assets/2026/10/08001315/aphrodite-michael-paris-elopement-20260406071656-DSC07485-721_a.jpg) - ![Aphrodite walking up behind Michael in the hallway of the Louvre for their first look](https://cdn.elopement.paris/assets/2026/10/08001322/aphrodite-michael-paris-elopement-20260406073016-DSC07516-721_a.jpg) - ![Aphrodite reaching for Michael's hand during their first look at the Louvre](https://cdn.elopement.paris/assets/2026/10/08001328/aphrodite-michael-paris-elopement-20260406073055-DSC07554-721_a.jpg) * ![Michael turning to see Aphrodite in her wedding gown in the hallway of the Louvre](https://cdn.elopement.paris/assets/2026/10/08001335/aphrodite-michael-paris-elopement-20260406073056-DSC07559-721_a.jpg) * ![Aphrodite smiling with her bouquet and lace gloves at her first look in Paris](https://cdn.elopement.paris/assets/2026/10/08001342/aphrodite-michael-paris-elopement-20260406073119-DSC07595-721_a.jpg) - ![Michael bowing to kiss Aphrodite's hand in the hallway of the Louvre](https://cdn.elopement.paris/assets/2026/10/08001348/aphrodite-michael-paris-elopement-20260406073126-DSC07611-721_a.jpg) - ![Aphrodite and Michael laughing together after their first look at the Louvre](https://cdn.elopement.paris/assets/2026/10/08001355/aphrodite-michael-paris-elopement-20260406073247-DSC07667-721_a.jpg) We stayed at the Louvre for the first hour of the morning, before the visitors arrived, so they could ease into the day together. Aphrodite’s [bouquet](https://elopement.paris/services/flower-bouquet/) was in the soft pinks and whites of spring, the same colours as the blossoms waiting for them later. - ![Aphrodite and Michael walking hand in hand across the Louvre courtyard at sunrise](https://cdn.elopement.paris/assets/2026/10/08001401/aphrodite-michael-paris-elopement-20260406073720-DSC07796-721_a.jpg) - ![Michael and Aphrodite cheek to cheek in front of the Louvre](https://cdn.elopement.paris/assets/2026/10/08001407/aphrodite-michael-paris-elopement-20260406074124-DSC07862-721_a.jpg) - ![Aphrodite's bridal bouquet of white ranunculus and pink tulips held in a lace glove](https://cdn.elopement.paris/assets/2026/10/08001414/aphrodite-michael-paris-elopement-20260406074258-DSC07897-721_a.jpg) * ![Aphrodite laughing with Michael, her bouquet in her arms, at the Louvre](https://cdn.elopement.paris/assets/2026/10/08001420/aphrodite-michael-paris-elopement-20260406074325-DSC07910-721_a.jpg) * ![Aphrodite and Michael with her long veil blowing in the wind at the Louvre](https://cdn.elopement.paris/assets/2026/10/08001427/aphrodite-michael-paris-elopement-20260406074354-DSC07953-721_a.jpg) - ![Aphrodite's veil flying on the steps of the Pavillon Denon at the Louvre](https://cdn.elopement.paris/assets/2026/10/08001433/aphrodite-michael-paris-elopement-20260406074757-DSC08022-721_a.jpg) - ![Michael leading Aphrodite up the steps of the Pavillon Denon](https://cdn.elopement.paris/assets/2026/10/08001439/aphrodite-michael-paris-elopement-20260406074836-DSC08056-721_a.jpg) - ![Aphrodite and Michael walking in front of the Pavillon Denon at the Louvre](https://cdn.elopement.paris/assets/2026/10/08001446/aphrodite-michael-paris-elopement-20260406075143-DSC08125-721_a.jpg) * ![Aphrodite's lace bridal heels and bouquet under her ball gown](https://cdn.elopement.paris/assets/2026/10/08001458/aphrodite-michael-paris-elopement-20260406075502-DSC08191-721_a.jpg) * ![Aphrodite's lace-gloved hand on her bouquet beside her wedding shoes](https://cdn.elopement.paris/assets/2026/10/08001513/aphrodite-michael-paris-elopement-20260406075749-DSC08217-721_a.jpg) - ![Michael and Aphrodite by the glass pyramid of the Louvre](https://cdn.elopement.paris/assets/2026/10/08001526/aphrodite-michael-paris-elopement-20260406080042-DSC08255-834_a.jpg) * ![Bridal portrait of Aphrodite with her bouquet in the Louvre courtyard](https://cdn.elopement.paris/assets/2026/10/08001534/aphrodite-michael-paris-elopement-20260406080325-DSC08277-721_a.jpg) * ![Aphrodite's cathedral veil flowing in the Louvre courtyard](https://cdn.elopement.paris/assets/2026/10/08001540/aphrodite-michael-paris-elopement-20260406080602-DSC08357-721_a.jpg) - ![Aphrodite and Michael in the hallway of the Louvre](https://cdn.elopement.paris/assets/2026/10/08001547/aphrodite-michael-paris-elopement-20260406081941-DSC08544-721_a.jpg) - ![Aphrodite and Michael kissing at the end of the hallway of the Louvre](https://cdn.elopement.paris/assets/2026/10/08001600/aphrodite-michael-paris-elopement-20260406082635-DSC08661-721_a.jpg) A [vintage convertible](https://elopement.paris/services/transportation/), Aphrodite’s choice, took them from the Louvre to the cherry trees. - ![Aphrodite and Michael beside a black vintage convertible in front of the Louvre](https://cdn.elopement.paris/assets/2026/10/08001607/aphrodite-michael-paris-elopement-20260406083210-DSC08697-721_a.jpg) - ![Aphrodite and Michael embracing beside their vintage car in Paris](https://cdn.elopement.paris/assets/2026/10/08001614/aphrodite-michael-paris-elopement-20260406083307-DSC08760-721_a.jpg) - ![Aphrodite raising her bouquet beside Michael and the vintage car](https://cdn.elopement.paris/assets/2026/10/08001621/aphrodite-michael-paris-elopement-20260406083442-DSC08814-721_a.jpg) ## Vows Under the Cherry Blossoms, Facing the Eiffel Tower This was the moment they had come to Paris for.

The single trees along the streets usually open first, from the end of March. The gardens follow, and the peak tends to fall in the first three weeks of April, depending on the weather that year. The trees in the Trocadéro gardens, facing the Eiffel Tower, are the best known and among the longest lasting, often holding into mid-April. Last come the orchards of Parc de Sceaux, just south of the city, in mid to late April. Square Jean XXIII behind Notre-Dame and the Jardin des Plantes are worth a visit too. Whatever the spot, go early. These are public gardens, and by late morning they fill with visitors and picnics. Aphrodite and Michael said their vows at around nine in the morning. If you dream of a cherry blossom elopement in Paris, the first half of April is the safest choice, and as [planners](https://elopement.paris/services/paris-elopement-planner/) we can suggest the spot most likely to be in bloom on your date. ## More Cherry Blossom Elopements in Paris Aphrodite and Michael are not the only couple we have married under the blossoms.
