The Couple’s Story
Henry and Olivia’s journey together began amidst the bustling life of London, where work and shared social events brought them closer. With each ‘extra drink’ and lively gathering, they discovered mutual interests and a connection that soon intertwined their lives. Their bond deepened through various city breaks, and it was on a special trip to Lisbon with Liv’s family that their love truly blossomed. Surrounded by the city’s charm, Henry’s proposal set the stage for the beginning of their next chapter together, which lead them to a destination wedding in the picturesque landscapes of Provence, France.
Dreaming Up a Destination Wedding in France
With Liv’s mother unable to fly, the search for the perfect wedding location led them to the serene South of France, reminiscent of the tranquil vibes they cherished in Lisbon. It was the striking elegance of Le Grand Banc that caught their hearts. This south of France wedding venue‘s charm, coupled with Liv’s family connection to one of the owners, made it clear that this was their destined spot. With the help of their wedding planners, Josh Tully Management, their destination wedding was a blend of excitement and careful coordination, ensuring the venue reflected their memories and future dreams.
Styling the Perfect Day: A Nature-Inspired Celebration
Their wedding day was a true reflection of their style, blending seamlessly with the natural beauty of Le Grand Banc. Under the canopy of an ancient tree, they exchanged vows in a ceremony that celebrated nature’s beauty. Olivia’s delicate off-white dress that drifted into a pale nude/pink, complemented by her bridesmaids in stark white, brought an elegant simplicity to the day. The reception echoed the ceremony’s connection with nature, featuring exposed wood tables adorned with creamy chiffon and Ikebana florals. As they dined under the Provençal sky, the sunset on the Luberon valley, wrapped the day in a soft, romantic glow, a fitting tribute to the love and commitment shared between Henry and Olivia. Indeed, it was the epitome of a perfect destination wedding in France.
