Cynthia and Florian's first date, eight years before their wedding, was a pizza dinner. So when they planned three days on the Cap Roux peninsula near Saint-Raphaël, they gave the welcome dinner an Italian theme. One hundred guests joined them in the summer, at a venue that hosts only three weddings a year.

The music carried on over two days with two strolling bands. Les Garçons Chics, The Dukes, Dj Samdakik and Divin Gospel Music all played for the wedding.

Bridal Portraits

The bride wore a gown by Nicole Felicia Couture. The groom wore a made-to-measure suit in white silk by Suit Supply. Sonia B and Noa Mii did the hair and makeup, and Amantys Joaillerie supplied jewellery.

The brunch was yellow and blue and featured finger limes, with lemons, blue glasses and a painted tureen on the tables. An afternoon of swimming followed.
