Location: Goudargues • Provence • South of France
Domaine de Brès, a rustic chateau wedding venue with accommodation in Provence offered a setting that felt both wild and luxurious. Perched above the Cèze valley, the estate unfolded in fields of lavender and olive trees, its horizon stretching endlessly over the southern countryside. For this editorial, wedding planner Mélanie Orsini envisioned a celebration that merged nature, elegance, and emotion — an ode to open-air Provençal beauty. The affordable provence wedding chateau‘s infinity pool and rows of cotton wedding tents added a whisper of adventure, creating an atmosphere where serenity met sophistication. Every detail reflected the spirit of the South of France: fragrant, relaxed, and irresistibly romantic.

From Wildlands to Refined Beauty
The vision began with Mélanie Orsini’s choice of venue — a historic property once home to horses, now transformed into a haven of rustic grace. Its ironwork arches, raw wood porte-cochères, and refurbished stables paid homage to its equine past, while the surrounding landscape set the stage for an editorial full of light and emotion. The photography by Solophotographie and videography by Just Go Wedding captured the purity of Provençal sunlight and the intimate gestures that define a wedding day. Together, they revealed the subtle magic of place: a sense of peace that comes from standing at the edge of the world.
Lace, Light, and Lavender Details
Designer Aurélie Mey’s gown — the Naia dress — embodied bohemian sophistication with delicate lace and effortless movement, worn beautifully by model Roselys. Maison Marcelle created a natural hairstyle paired with luminous makeup, complemented by earrings made with real lavender petals from Appoline Bijou Végétal. Florals by Anyflowers brought together Provence’s signature materials — olive branches, pampa grass, and sprigs of lavender — all styled with rattan accents for a soft, organic finish. Stationery by Et Caetera Studio tied the concept together with calligraphy in muted tones, each piece sealed with handcrafted stamps and a touch of personality.
A Provençal Story Told Through Light and Craft
As the sun dipped low over the lavender meadows, the editorial came alive with texture and warmth. Solophotographie, one of France’s talented wedding photographers, captured the gentle radiance that defines summer in Provence. Every image told a story of connection — between artisans, landscape, and light. With Mélanie Orsini’s direction, the day balanced wild beauty and refined styling, offering inspiration for couples dreaming of an outdoor wedding that feels authentic, artful, and deeply French.
