Some love stories are best told in whispers—and this intimate elopement at Bastide du Roy felt just like that. The day began in the heart of Cannes at the elegant Hôtel Martinez, where the bride got ready in the soft morning light. With no guests, no schedule, and no distractions, it was a day crafted entirely around the two of them—full of meaning, romance, and simple, beautiful moments.
Elopement at Bastide du Roy with Vows in the Spanish Gardens
Leaving the buzz of Cannes behind, the couple arrived at Bastide du Roy, a hidden gem nestled in Antibes. The venue’s spanish gardens, offered a peaceful setting for their heartfelt vows. It was just them, standing beneath olive trees and wrapped in warm sunlight, promising forever. Visuals by Abbi captured every quiet smile, every touch, and all the emotion in between—creating images that truly feel like poetry. After their vows, they explored the gardens hand-in-hand, soaking in the beauty of the moment while Abbi documented their joy with effortless grace.
An Al Fresco Lunch with Light Blue Tone
With the formalities behind them, the newlyweds shared a cozy al fresco lunch beneath the olive trees with two of their best friends. A single table was thoughtfully styled with light blue accents, soft linen textures, and minimal white florals that perfectly complemented the garden setting. The overall design was intentionally simple, letting the natural beauty of the French Riviera take center stage. There were no grand centerpieces, no timeline to follow—just laughter, connection, and the kind of intimacy that makes you forget the world exists beyond that garden. It was exactly how they imagined it: relaxed, romantic, and completely theirs. From start to finish, this Bastide du Roy elopement was a gentle reminder that sometimes, less really is more.
