The decor plays an essential role in the atmosphere of a wedding. Here, we have set down our suitcases in Provence, in an estate with discreet charm where old stone meets the surrounding nature. This type of place is ideal for those who want a chic wedding without artifice, where authenticity prevails.

Nestled in the heart of Provence, the medieval Château de Fontarèches , near Uzès, seems frozen in time, imbued with a centuries-old elegance where echoes of the past still resonate. Its sun-gilded stones, its gardens with intoxicating scents and its captivating atmosphere make it an exceptional place for a timeless union. Here, history and nature intertwine, offering a majestic setting where each moment becomes an enchanted interlude. Between shadow and light, between grandeur and delicacy, Fontarèches is the perfect setting for a wedding imbued with poetry and authenticity, a place where love is forever engraved in stone and in hearts. https://www.chateaufontareches.com/

This bride's look embodies minimalist and modern elegance, enhanced by refined details.

Her dress, fluid and refined in silk crepe, is distinguished by a contemporary cut with clean and sophisticated lines. With its long, slightly flared sleeves and subtle cutouts at the waist and back, it combines audacity and delicacy. The bare back brings a sensual touch while remaining very elegant. This magnificent creation from Maison Maeli was the perfect choice for this inspirational shoot in Provence.

As for accessories, the bride opts for a natural and timeless style. Her hair is styled in a casual way with a pretty fabric ribbon, adding a romantic and feminine touch. Her makeup, bright and fresh, highlights her radiant complexion with a natural approach that enhances her beauty without artifice.

Finally, her pearl earrings bring a touch of classic refinement, perfectly balancing the modernism of the dress with a hint of tradition. A look that is at once chic, modern and timeless, perfect for an elegant wedding in Provence.

Winter brides can take inspiration from this model and adapt it to their wedding with long lace sleeves, an elegant cape or even satin gloves for an irresistible vintage touch.

Makeup and hairstyle should reflect the bride's personality while harmonizing with the wedding atmosphere. Here, the choice fell on a fresh complexion, subtly colored lips and a look highlighted by bright touches.

Hair-wise, a low, loose bun and a few delicately wavy strands create a sophisticated yet natural effect. This type of hairstyle is ideal for showcasing wedding hair accessories such as a pearl comb , a flower crown or even a silk ribbon for a romantic effect.

To enhance the bride's modern, elegant and refined look, the choice of wedding jewelry fell on the Danse à Deux earrings. A unique creation that captivates with the beauty of natural pearls: each hook is adorned with a large luminous pearl, from which two fine lines of delicate pearls gracefully descend. Both contemporary and timeless, these earrings embody sophisticated simplicity, perfect to elegantly complete the look of this dazzling bride.

Beyond the bride and groom's outfits, the wedding atmosphere is created through the decoration and the scenography. For this shooting, each element was chosen with care:

• A minimalist and refined table , enhanced by floral arrangements in neutral tones and candles providing subdued light.
• Soft and natural colors , ranging from beige to off-white, in perfect harmony with the Provencal environment.
• Noble materials , such as linen for the tablecloths and artisanal ceramics for the dishes, for a warm and intimate atmosphere.

The centerpiece of the reception, the wedding cake is part of the refined and sophisticated aesthetic of this inspiration shoot. Imagined by Lilie Cakes , as a sweet work of art with a vintage style, it embodies delicacy and modernity through minimalist lines, a soft color palette and refined details.

Draped in immaculate white, subtly textured, it evokes purity and timeless elegance. A few floral touches lightly adorn it, recalling the floral compositions of the decor. Inside, delicate flavors, mixing tradition and gluttony, invite you to a moment of sharing and sweetness. A dessert as beautiful as it is good, perfect to end this unforgettable day on an exquisite and poetic note.

Flowers take center stage in this delicate and refined painting, bringing a touch of grace and lightness to every moment of the wedding. The bride's bouquet , designed as an extension of her modern and refined look, mixes flowers in soft tones: white, ivory and powdery shades. Each stem seems to dance elegantly, creating an airy and natural movement, perfect for a bride in search of modernity and subtlety.

The floral arrangements, scattered throughout the ceremony and reception, play on transparency and luminosity. Arranged in glass vases with clean lines, they seem to float in space, capturing the daylight and reflecting an infinite softness. The candles, harmoniously integrated, reinforce this romantic and magical atmosphere.

Each petal, each stem, each arrangement tells a story: that of a love that is delicate, timeless and deeply rooted in elegance.
