Francesca & Greg were hugely inspired by France and their recent trip there. They loved soft pastels, periwinkle, shell pink, ivory, touches of blue toile, and of course lavender. The wedding was in a beautiful garden setting surrounded by greenery and florals galore. The day was full of romance and elegance.

[field title=”Proposal Story”]Francesca had dreamt of seeing the lavender fields in Provence, so Greg made her wish come true by traveling there together in 2021. To top it all off, he proposed on the trip making it an experience Francesca would never forget! Francesca says it was “straight out of a Van Gogh painting.” The backdrop for the proposal was absolutely stunning. The two drew inspiration from their experience in France when designing and planning their own wedding.[/field]
