If ever there were a place designed for love stories, Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild would be it. Perched on the glittering peninsula of Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, just a heartbeat away from Nice and Monaco, this French Riviera icon is more than just a venue — it’s a dream stitched into real life. With its blush-toned façade, sweeping sea views, and gardens that seem pulled from a painting, it became the perfect canvas for Diana and Jonathan’s sophisticated wedding day.
From Garden Vows to Dance Floor Vibes on the French Riviera
Diana envisioned a wedding that felt timeless, and the design followed suit — soft white tones accented with barely-there blush, creating an atmosphere that was both ethereal and grounded in classic beauty. Lush arrangements of roses, peonies, and hydrangeas seemed to grow organically from the villa’s gardens, echoing the natural beauty of the setting.
The ceremony took place in the Florentine Garden, where the couple exchanged vows beneath a floral arch as the sea shimmered just beyond the hedges. Golden hour slipped into night, and the vibe shifted fast. Dinner wrapped, champagne kept pouring, heels hit the grass, and the energy snapped from romantic to electric in seconds. Diana and Jonathan led the charge, surrounded by friends and family who weren’t ready for the night to end. What began as a refined, romantic celebration transformed into an all-out party under the stars — full of movement, music, and pure joy. It was the kind of night you don’t just remember — you feel it, long after the last song fades.
The Creative Souls Who Brought It to Life
It takes a remarkable team to bring a vision to life with such grace. Monte-Carlo Weddings orchestrated the day with effortless precision, allowing Diana and Jonathan to be fully present in every moment.
Wayne Riley Flowers crafted floral arrangements that felt like a natural extension of the villa’s gardens — romantic, lush, and timeless. Behind the camera, Tatyana Chaiko captured every emotion with poetic elegance, while MG Imagewove it all into film with quiet artistry.
The ceremony, led by Anne-Sophie of My Cérémonie, was heartfelt and personal, and the stunning cake by Made in Cake was as delicious as it was beautiful. Together, this team turned a dream into an unforgettable celebration.
