HIGHLIGHTS

A luxury destination wedding weekend in the heart of Provence

Serena and Jimmy welcomed family and friends from around the world for a three-day celebration in Provence, France. Designed as an immersive destination experience, the wedding blended the relaxed elegance of the French Riviera with the timeless charm of the Provençal countryside, creating a celebration that felt both intimate and effortlessly refined.

The festivities began with a beachside welcome dinner at La Tropezina in Saint-Tropez, where guests gathered overlooking the Mediterranean to enjoy a seasonal menu inspired by the region. With loved ones travelling internationally to attend, the weekend was thoughtfully designed around connection, hospitality, and memorable shared experiences.

The celebrations continued at the iconic Le Mas des Poiriers, one of Provence's most sought-after private estates. Set amongst orchards and framed by the beauty of the surrounding landscape, the venue provided a romantic backdrop for a wedding inspired by the colours, textures, and traditions of the South of France.

A winding aisle lined with abundant white florals led guests to the ceremony, set beneath dappled shade within the estate grounds. Bespoke details were woven throughout the celebration, including a hand-painted table plan displayed on fine china plates, inspired by the couple's favourite destinations, and a hand-painted silk drinks menu positioned behind the bar.

Dinner design drew inspiration from the region, incorporating grapes, shells, pearls, and rich burgundy florals. Delicate illustrations of the venue appeared across linens and fine china, while live music and a grand pavlova overflowing with seasonal berries provided the perfect finale to a beautifully curated weekend in Provence.
