From White Eden Weddings…Solene & Matt’s wedding was created based on a destination, the French Riviera, and an experience: a very fun week-end. Guests were coming all the way from Los Angeles, New York, London, Asia, France… and the idea was to put together and plan the warmest, meaningful & effortless chic wedding. The overall color palette was infused by the bright but so natural colors of the South of France. We wanted to create a warm styling, a bit informal but definitely not over the top and embracing every single space. In order to greet everyone, welcome baskets with local treats, a vintage postcard & a wonderful hand-drawn itinerary map by the talented Silent Word Studio were waiting for guests in hotel rooms.
The entertainment was the priority of Matt, the atmosphere was Solene’s. Music was then naturally a central focus of the celebrations. Starting with the welcome party with a strolling band who literally got the partygoers singing their hearts out and dancing on their chairs, however, the second day wasn’t left out.
A threesome of strings escorted our lovely couple during the ceremony; Lizzy & the Gentlemen, a live jazz band, played during the cocktail hour; Four Kicks, a pop-cover band accompanied Solène & Matt’s grand entrance at dinner and played several sets during dinner and set the party on fire, until Thomas Dusseune took over and DJed until 4 am.
The styling of the reception was quite a challenge, as it was hosted on a tennis court. The idea was obviously to transform the space into a modern, effortless and elegant area. With the guests coming down from the most breathtaking terrace on the French Riviera after an emotional ceremony and a musical sun-set cocktail hour, disappointed wasn’t an option. You can say it wasn’t thanks to the beautiful shots of the so talented Oliver Fly. Building and decorating a tent is always a challenge. Only a very few couples envision their wedding receptions under a tent for their South of France wedding. When it comes to it (and especially when it’s a plan A), doing 3Ds mapping & sketches really helps to envision the space and work together with the couple until we find the perfect and most adapted design. Working with the most talented floral designers such as Miss Rose by Perrine is a must, which allows a mix of creativity and boldness! After 8 months of intense planning, seeing Solene & Matthew speechless entering the reception was literally everything, and was one of these moments that remind us why we love so much our work!
