Célia Launches Atelier Nova

A former engineer and web developer who reinvented herself through wedding planning and design.

How I came up with the idea of becoming a Wedding Planner / Designer

Life changes brought something new. After personal events that turned my life upside down, I finally decided to take stock of myself and of my academic and professional path. On the advice of my loved ones, I took the plunge and followed what truly made sense to me.

My background before getting started

After six years of engineering studies, four years in web development, beautiful encounters, many travels, varied experiences, and a professional assessment, I decided to reinvent myself and bring together everything I had learned, lived and loved into a meaningful new path.

The difficulties I faced before getting started

I think that apart from the courage it took to take the plunge and begin this new adventure, once I had made the decision to go all the way with this project, I did not encounter any particular difficulties. I was lucky to be well surrounded and supported.

My agency

Talking about yourself, and even more about your vision and your values, is a difficult exercise. Staying true to yourself and finding your own way in the vast ocean that is the event world impressed me a lot at first. Today, Atelier Nova reflects who I am and the way I want to support meaningful, elegant celebrations.

What I love about my job

The conversations, whether with clients who come to share their beautiful projects or with vendors and collaborators with whom we have the chance to exchange, imagine, create and enjoy professional projects together. That is what is most precious to me.

What IWI brought me

Confidence. A solid foundation of knowledge to understand the flow of a wedding project, from planning to design. It also gave me the tools to develop my image and communicate in a fair and accurate way about what I do and who I am.
