Rebecca and James's summer wedding at Domaine de Valbonne in Provence was conceived as three celebrations, each with its own colours, all taken from nature. One of them was a green garden party.

Living in London, Rebecca, who is of Lebanese heritage, and James, who is English, brought their families and cultures together in France, with 110 guests. Their bridesmaids and groomsmen wore soft baby blue.

Ceremony

The couple stand facing the officiant beneath a large tree while guests sit on either side of a gravel aisle lined with flowers.

The couple embrace and kiss on a gravel path while colourfully dressed guests line both sides and toss petals.

The couple sit on ornate chairs seen from behind, facing seated guests under tall trees, with flowers lining the aisle.

A groomsman in a pale blue suit walks arm in arm with a bridesmaid in a blue satin dress holding a green bouquet, between guests gathered under the trees.

Guests sit on white chairs in rows beneath tall trees, facing an outdoor ceremony in dappled shade.

Floral meadows framed the outdoor ceremony. Individually composed, each meadow had a colour palette of its own.

Couple Portraits

A distant couple stands on garden steps framed by white flowers and a tall cypress, with wooded hills in the background.

The bride in a long white gown and the groom in a beige suit walk away from the camera along a gravel path.

The bride and groom raise their arms in delight from the back of a red vintage convertible on a gravel drive, with the low sun behind the wooded hills.

The groom in a light suit kisses the bride's hand as they walk through a lavender field beside a leafy tree.

Seen from behind, the bride in a long veil and the groom in a white shirt stand together on a wooden deck under a white parasol, surrounded by greenery.

The couple embrace on a small curved bridge with a long white banner hanging beside them, sun glowing behind trees.

Cocktail Hour

A white arched bar menu sign with script lettering rests on a white surface beside trailing green and white flowers.

An outdoor table with a green cloth holds a wooden board of bread, cured meats, breadsticks and a large pink-flowered plant.

People walk along a path through white flowers towards stone buildings and a tall cypress tree in warm low sunlight.

A pale vintage food van stands under large trees on gravel while people stand at its serving counter.

Reception

Long tables dressed in cream linen with rattan chairs and green-rimmed plates run beneath strings of festoon lights, with a tall cypress and wooded hills beyond.

A few guests walk near long wooden tables set for a meal under large oak trees, with woven lampshades hanging above.

Guests sit at long dining tables strung with lights in a stone-roofed courtyard, with the sun setting over wooded hills behind.

Design and Details

Small white paper birds hang from green branches above a gnarled tree trunk.

A terracotta pot filled with white and pink wildflowers and trailing greenery sits on a white cabinet beneath trees and string lights.

A cream vintage three-wheeled van with an open side displays menus and glasses on green-lined shelves, parked on grass under trees.

A long table set with green leaf-shaped placemats, glassware and small pink and white flower arrangements glows in warm evening light.

A large arrangement of white flowers and greenery stands beside a beige-clothed table, with more tables and a stone building behind.

An outdoor buffet table with a green cloth holds platters of cured meat, cheese, a tall floral arrangement and bottles beneath trees.

Sculptural serpentine tables and floral-shaped placemats were lit by candles and festoon lights.

Flowers were part of all three days, and they culminated in a sculptural orange installation for the pool party after the wedding.

Venue

Long tables with green place settings stand on gravel outside a stone building with glass doors, next to a tall cypress tree.

A small arched bridge with a white hanging banner crosses a dry grassy dip, with lavender, trees and wooded hills behind.

Rows of white chairs face a large leafy tree on a gravel path, set up for an outdoor ceremony, with flowers at the aisle.

Two people in white shirts and dark trousers walk along a gravel path towards a stone farmhouse with a tall cypress tree.

A swimming pool with sun loungers and a few people is visible beyond steps and overhanging trees.

Domaine de Valbonne, one of the wedding venues with a pool in Provence we feature, is a former silkworm farm at Saint-Paulet-de-Caisson, in the Gard. Its 16th-century farmhouse and restored stone buildings stand on a 35-hectare estate among olive groves and vineyards, and our guide lists it among the wedding venues in Provence. For Rebecca and James, the estate offered lavender fields, gardens and a series of connected spaces.

More from the Day

The bride, seen from behind, faces four smiling women in blue dresses and a guest in a floral dress in a stone room.

Three men in light blue suits stand together in front of a stone wall and large wooden doors, one adjusting another's jacket.

Bridesmaids in pale blue dresses carry white paper parasols through a field of lavender, with flowering shrubs and wooded hills behind them.

A wristwatch, a perfume bottle, a green ring box and a paper fan rest on printed stationery on a wooden surface.
