Color, Craft, and Modern French Style
The aesthetic of the day was alive with movement and colour. Floral design by Histoire de Fleur filled Château Belle Époque gardens with coral, blush, and apricot blooms poppies, ranunculus, and garden roses spilling across staircases and ceremony arches. The tablescape, styled by SBJ Decoration with creative direction from Magnolias on Silk, reflected the same joyful rhythm: sage-toned linens, gold-rimmed plates, and hand-painted menus by Bonjour Paper glowed under the afternoon light. The bride wore an off-the-shoulder gown by Les Filles Fidèles, paired with Bella Belle shoes and Gemmyo jewelry, her luminous look perfected by Laetitia Incaby and Les Créas Coiffure d’Alex. The groom, in a tailored Faubourg Saint Sulpice suit, brought a touch of modern French charm to the garden setting.
A Feast of French Artistry and Emotion
The celebration continued in true French style with a beautifully curated menu by Alice Thouvenot, blending artistry and local flavour. The statement cake by L.C. Pastry 32 echoed the floral palette in sugar detail, while signature cocktails from French Barmen added a lively flourish to the evening. Furniture and décor by Be Lounge grounded the garden reception in subtle sophistication. Every moment from a shared laugh under the trees to the final toast at sunset—was captured by Fabrice Joubert, among the most respected wedding photographers in the South of France. His imagery translated the day’s emotion into light: modern yet timeless, refined yet heartfelt. Together, this creative team turned Château Belle Époque into a vision of French romance authentic, joyful, and filled with grace.
