The editorial project “Soleil Noir” is a powerful celebration of inclusion, diversity, and cultural heritage. We were committed to showcasing that modern weddings don’t need to adhere to tradition to honor one’s origins and reflect the unique style of the celebrated couple.
Sarah, the wedding planner, shares: “When I entered the wedding industry in France, I noticed a lack of representation for Black couples. Their traditions are seldom showcased, and many find it necessary to look abroad for vendors who truly understand their cultural needs. I wanted to change that—empowering the African community to celebrate their weddings in dream French venues with local talents who appreciate and honour the elegance of their heritage. This project is a bold blend of fashion, weddings, and tradition, breaking norms to celebrate beauty and cultural diversity.”
