Curating your french wedding globe

Composer son globe de mariage

The composition of a wedding globe is always a deeply personal act. It reflects not only the unique story of your relationship but also your sensibility and aesthetic.

A truly meaningful wedding globe is one that mirrors who you are — in all your singularity.

Crafted by skilled artisans using materials chosen for their noble and precious qualities, our globes are designed to enhance the beauty of the objects (and memories) you choose to place inside them.

And to showcase your story in the most graceful way, a few thoughtful tips can go a long way.

Traditionally, antique wedding globes held the cherished objects that marked a couple’s life together. The wedding bouquet, a floral crown, or a photograph from the ceremony would often take pride of place at the center of the globe. Over the years, the globe would be enriched with new mementos collected along the journey — a ribbon, a birth announcement, and other meaningful keepsakes joined the display.

Our wedding globes are guided by the same ambition: to bear witness to your story and help you tell it with beauty and elegance.
At Maison Eugénie, we believe that simplicity and minimalism are your greatest allies when arranging your globe’s interior. To tell a story is to make choices — to choose a moment, a memory, that can be gently echoed by another, more recent or distant, through a sensory connection. This art of composition allows for endless variations.

Making choices can be hard! It’s easy to be tempted by accumulation. But remember: a story is often better told through two or three carefully chosen objects than with ten.
Feel free to let your composition evolve over time, reflecting your mood or the ever-shifting shades of memory. In this way, your globe can change with the seasons and the moments you wish to celebrate or bring to light.

Perhaps it will recall a cup of hot chocolate shared on a winter afternoon, your child’s first steps, a low-tide walk along the beach, or the ballet that once filled you both with wonder…

Beyond simplicity, composing your globe also means considering another key element: verticality.
We recommend thinking in three complementary levels: the base, the central space, and the top. The most beautiful compositions create harmony between these layers. A tall, prominent object may beautifully highlight a smaller one, creating a visual dialogue between them.

But don’t worry — there’s no such thing as a mistake when it comes to composing a wedding globe. It’s a gentle art that unfolds with your personal sensitivity and evolves over time.
