Sofia Richie is going all out for her wedding to Elliot Grainge ... kicking off the weekend with a lavish celebration to welcome all their friends who've flown to France for the event.

Lionel Richie's youngest was hand-in-hand Friday with her fiancé, and the couple couldn't look happier to tie the knot.

Sofia had a white long gown while Elliot was suited and booted for the occasion -- and while they're looking the part, this is not the wedding ... just a welcoming reception.

For the most part, the love birds remained side-by-side during the event, smiling broadly as they walked around greeting everyone.
