Would You Elope in Provence? If You Did It Could Look Like This...
I can't count how many times I've ooh-ed and ahh-ed over a submission delivery from Koman Photography. Marlene and John are two of my favorite people in the industry (I know I shouldn't have faves! But they are incredible). When they deliver inspirational shoots like this one here? It's hard not to praise them. Along with styling and planning by Intens' Events and florals by Fleurs de Fée, they brought to life what an uber romantic Provence elopement could look like and I am dying to see one of you do your own real version. Go ahead, dive in.
From Murielle of Intens' Events... When the Komans and I decided to collaborate on this beautiful creative project, I immediately thought that Chateau de Tourreau would be the perfect backdrop. Built-in the middle of the 18th century, the chateau has survived the French Revolution and has become over the years the beautiful gem we know today. With its green shutters and beautiful park, it really has something special. Right from the start, we decided to include that green in our main color palette.
Through the design, we wanted to celebrate Spring, the rebirth of nature. When we leave winter and we are only at the beginning of Spring, there's a burst of life, trees are in bloom and it's like we are surrounded by clouds of flowers. We wanted these blooms to be our central theme and we chose each element of the shoot accordingly.

The first part of the shoot was a boudoir session. We created a soft and relaxing environment for our young bride. Fleurs de Fée designed this stunning floral arrangement mixing blooming branches and beautiful garden roses, in a soft color palette. Camille Bonardi created a natural look that highlights our bride's beautiful curls and fresh complexion.
The intimate ceremony was set up in the park, using the fountain as a backdrop. Here again, Fleurs de Fée did an incredible job, using only white flowers and blooming branches, as if our couple was walking in a field, surrounded by all these Spring blooms. The bride and groom's look was romantic, elegant and chic. The bride's Claire Pettibone blush dress featured lots of delicate pastel flowers and Camille created a more sophisticated bridal look, beautifully styling our bride's natural curls. The bouquet showcased a color palette of soft pinks and browns and was the perfect match to this sumptuous dress. For our groom, we chose a classic yet stylish look featuring a black tux and black bow tie.

The table setting was deliberately clean and simple as we wanted the focal point to be this burst of flowers gushing from the ground, ready to invade our table. We envisioned a refined tablescape showcasing a fresh color palette of immaculate whites, vibrant greens and antique gold, organic flowers and beautiful chargers, adding a touch of old-world charm to the design.
The cake, designed by Made in Cake, was a masterpiece all by itself and we were all very impressed by the meticulous and fabulous work she did on the sugared flowers. And what to say of the beautiful invitation suite created by Shelby from S. Libbrecht Studio, mixing green and white handmade paper with vellum.
We really feel like all the vendors involved have totally embraced the festive Spring mood we wanted to create and we are very grateful for the great job made by such a talented team.
