Love united a global guestbook at Château Grimaldi for an elegant celebration planned by Fete In France. Filled with subtle nods the couples’ Franco-American heritage and shared love of sailing with soft blue Laetitia C. sheaf bouquets, there is no doubt the images from Marion Heurteboust will be a family heirloom for generations to come.
From Fête In France…Nicole and Jerome celebrated their wedding in elegant provençal style in a villa near Aix-en-Provence. The Franco-American couple – Nicole is American and Jerome is French – welcomed family and friends from the US and France, as well as Sweden, China, Spain, South Africa, Italy, Romania, Australia amongst other countries!
The couple shares a love of sailing, and it was this common interest that brought them together and helped give direction to the color theme. The palette of blues, greys and grey-greens fit perfectly in the setting of the historic villa where they held the reception.
After a traditional blessing at the local church, wedding guests were treated to a cocktail hour on the villa’s terrace overlooking the Mont Sainte Victoire. Guests were then invited to see the amazing transformation of the villa’s chapel into an elegant reception room.
There are so many things we loved about this wedding – the bride’s romantic lace dress, her vintage-inspired arm sheaf bouquet, the groom’s natty 3-piece suit – but our favorite detail was the lovely surprise the bridesmaids planned for the couple. Pre-addressed cards and postcards were set out so that guests could write a note to the couple. The bridesmaids take care of sending out the cards throughout the year so the bride & groom will receive notes reminding them of their special day!
