We chose to highlight a beautiful cocktail bar, with the stunning facade of the castle as the backdrop. We also aimed to create a charming setting for the welcome dinner, in a more relaxed atmosphere, perfectly in tune with the gentle Provençal evenings.

the fashion

This is France, so the bar was set pretty high for the fashion, and this shoot did not disappoint. The bride stunned in a lovely lace gown by Igilles. The thigh-high slit and open back added an element of sexiness to this elegant affair. The groom wore a classic black tuxedo with a matching black bow tie.

We simply cannot get over this ceremony setup. First–these floral arrangements! This seriously looks like something out of a fairytale. It reads neutral without giving up on color completely. And the cane-back chairs were the perfect country touch.

Keeping with the pastel theme, a blue floral-printed tablecloth set the tone for the al fresco reception. Peach and ivory flower arrangements served as the centerpieces and the food was art in and of itself.
