Anna and Alfie come from Jersey, they are a sweet couple, hard workers who deserved a good break for their wedding weekend. They fell in love with Provence a long time ago and decided to celebrate their love with their close friends and family in Grasse, the beautiful city of fragrance.

Anna and Alfie chose the Bastide Saint Mathieu which is a wonderful and typical bastide from the South of France where life is peaceful and where you easily feel at home. Surrounded by olive trees and lavender, this wedding venue features a swimming pool and a petanque field for your guests… add some rosé wine, spend some time there and you will never want to leave France!

It was important for Anna to have a wedding design that reflected the decor of the venue itself. It was such a beautiful day and the acoustic band added something special to the moment. If possible, we always advise every bride and groom to have some live music during the drinks or the ceremony, it creates a great atmosphere for your French wedding.

The ceremony was performed by the talented Celia Drummund. The bride and groom had a good idea: they decided to print the lyrics of a song for all their guests so in the middle of the ceremony they could all sing together while the band was playing, what a beautiful vibe! The fact of asking your guests to be part of the ceremony at some point creates something special and they feel more involved.

The night kept going on with emotional speeches, smiles, laughs and tears until the arrival of the typical french wedding cake made of buns, cream and caramel which pleased all guests wherever they came from! When getting married abroad it is nice to keep some local touches especially food when getting married in France!
