Location: Béziers • Occitanie • South of France
Château les Carrasses, a 19th Century wine domaine in the Languedoc, provided the perfect canvas for Nellie and Tom’s destination wedding, a sunlit celebration that unfolded over three unforgettable days. Set among vineyards in the Languedoc countryside, the château combined relaxed elegance with a distinctly French sense of place. The couple, who live in London with their two pugs, wanted a setting where guests could stay together and celebrate freely. The characterful wedding venue near Toulouse‘s stone terraces, tree-shaded lawns, and pool courtyard created a natural flow between events, from a welcome barbecue to the wedding day itself. Laughter, clinking glasses, and the hum of conversation carried through the warm air of the South of France.

A Ceremony of Heartfelt Words and Golden Light
The couple’s ceremony took place under the soft Provençal light, framed by neutral tones of ivory, gold, and candlelit warmth. Tom’s father officiated, weaving humor and emotion into vows the couple had written separately and, coincidentally, almost identically. The setting felt intimate yet open, with the extensively restored luxury wedding estate’s pale stone and surrounding vines creating a calm, grounded backdrop. Afterward, guests moved effortlessly between terraces and gardens as the evening gathered pace. Every design detail reflected Nellie’s refined taste: romantic yet minimal, textured without excess, allowing the surroundings to lead the visual story of the day.
A Weekend of Friendship, Music, and French Countryside Charm
The celebration extended across the weekend, blending elegance with ease. Friday’s Mediterranean barbecue welcomed guests under the trees, Saturday’s wedding carried into a night of live music and DJs, and Sunday unfolded slowly with brunch and a poolside gathering. As the sun dipped, the terrace filled with laughter, pizzas, and the final toasts of the weekend. The celebration was captured by Rita & Clem, among the talented wedding photographers in Europe, whose imagery balanced atmosphere and emotion from candid poolside moments to the quiet joy of the ceremony. Château les Carrasses proved an inspired choice: intimate, versatile, and full of Provençal character.
