From White Eden Weddings… Kristen & Aaron’s wedding planning started a bit over a year before the big day and was lead by three key words: refined, French and fun! Both the aesthetics and the experience were important to them, especially that their guests travelled overseas to celebrate their marriage and spent several days in the South of France. It all started with the venue’s choice, and this incredible chateau in the middle of the vineyards & the olive groves in Provence was a must for K&A. Having such a playground was also amazing for us, as we had tens of possibilities, opportunities and ideas to create a unique and beautiful wedding.
Kristen & Aaron lived New York until early September and actually quit their jobs and apartment to travel the world for 6 months. Talk about honeymoon goals! Their wedding was a very special celebration in the sense that it was also the start of this beautiful adventure. Having fun, taking the time to enjoy special moments with their dearest and closest family & friends was then definitely more than a goal, it was a priority.
Kristen & Aaron were both very busy at work and school during the planning and relied on us to put their vision together. We started the styling with a very soft color palette, which included beige, various shades of light pink (Kristen’s all time favorite), gold & shades of green and featured original attentions and creations. We created for instance a petal bar so that guests could create their own petals cones to toss to the newlyweds at the end of the ceremony, with their favorite flowers & colors.
Both the ceremony & reception were designed with consistency, with of course the same color palette but also while keeping in mind to have everyone feeling comfortable during the entire celebrations. The ceremony’s florals path created by the great Sister’s & Blush Florals Studio perfectly enhanced the will of giving a bespoke look to this special day and adding a natural feel to the very refined venue.
The dinner area was also very special and detail-oriented. Kristen’s favorite flower is peony, so we chose beautiful plates with pink peonies and touches of gold to perfectly meet her tastes! Their bespoke and calligraphed day stationery by the talented Silent Word Studio, their unique candlelit sweetheart table and the customized wall of choux (these local French pastries) were some details that really made their wedding warmhearted and pretty, as beautifully captured by Julie Michaelsen.
They day after their massive party – they danced until 4am (!), everyone enjoyed an easy-going recovery brunch in front of the Chateau, by (and in) the pool with a laid-back, in a musical and warm atmosphere.
