Golden sunlight, pastel florals, and panoramic sea views set the stage for Renée and Mitch’s unforgettable wedding at Château de Cassis. Perched high above the charming harbor town of Cassis, this French Riviera venue offered a breathtaking blend of Provençal charm and coastal sophistication. Their celebration embraced the natural beauty of the region, with a design that married soft Mediterranean blues, warm neutrals, and blush accents in a palette inspired by the landscape itself. With every detail thoughtfully curated—from artisanal stationery to soulful live music—the day unfolded as a romantic ode to effortless elegance in the heart of Provence.
A Ceremony Suspended Above the Sea on the French Riviera
Everything about the day felt like something out of a dream. Guests arrived on a petit train that wound its way through Cassis’ pastel streets, adding a playful and personal touch to the celebration right from the start.
Renée looked breathtaking in a gown that shimmered like liquid silk in the golden September light. Mitch, looking sharp in a custom suit, waited on the château’s terrace as friends and family gathered for a ceremony quite literally suspended above the sea.
Framed by panoramic views of the Mediterranean, the couple exchanged heartfelt vows surrounded by stunning floral arrangements. Olive branches, blue tulips, hydrangeas, and soft roses came together in a palette that echoed the gentle colors of Provence. The moment was intimate, emotional, and so beautifully captured by Olya Kobruseva, whose eye for light and storytelling brought every detail to life.
Artistry & Details That Shine
The design of the day was a true celebration of the region’s natural beauty. Inspired by the sea and the soft tones of the château, the palette featured Mediterranean blues, warm neutrals, and delicate touches of blush and ivory. The Floral work blended refined structure with organic charm, bringing an airy elegance to both ceremony and reception.
As the sun set, the party moved poolside where candlelight flickered across the water and twinkling lights danced above. The tables were styled with crisp linens, gentle florals, and the artisanal touch of Encres et Nuances hand-torn stationery in soft, earthy hues. Every detail felt intentional, relaxed, and beautifully curated. And thanks to the incredible talent of photographer Olya Kobruseva, every magical moment—from the quiet anticipation to the joyous finale—was captured with depth, beauty, and timeless style.
With the sounds of the live band filling the night air, guests danced under the stars with the illuminated château behind them and the lights of Cassis twinkling below. It was pure magic.
Thanks to the expert planning of the wedding planner, everything flowed seamlessly—from the first steps off the train to the final dance under the sky. More than just a destination wedding, this was a heartfelt celebration where love, location, and design came together in perfect harmony.
