Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Château de la Gaude, this Provence-inspired wedding editorial masterfully intertwines modern romance with timeless French elegance. Captured through the lens of CHRISTOPHE SERRANO, the editorial was designed to celebrate the harmony of high fashion and ethereal wedding aesthetics, transforming the château’s historic grounds into a runway for love.
Known for its elegant bastide and meticulously curated gardens, CHÂTEAU DE LA GAUDE is a place where old-world refinement meets contemporary artistry. Sculptures dot the landscape, adding a modern touch that beautifully contrasts with the romantic, floral-filled atmosphere of this inspiration shoot. The vision? A couple exuding contemporary elegance, set against a setting rich in history, romance, and natural beauty. Wedding planner RACHEL SWORD masterfully took the concept from vision to reality.
Château de la Gaude is a perfect blend of traditional refinement and modernity.
the florals
Floral designer Céline of LES HERBES FOLLES infused the editorial with an avant-garde floral concept inspired by the vibrant landscapes of Saint-Tropez and Valensole. The ceremony space was reimagined as a fashion-forward runway, where the couple stood immersed in a sea of lush, colorful blooms. Airy textures of asparagus fern and Mediterranean-native limonium created a light, organic feel, while gradients of bright, zesty hues gave a distinctly modern edge.
For the reception tablescape, Céline played with contrast and abundance, maintaining the château’s signature aesthetic—a balance of heritage and innovation. A tablecloth adorned with pastoral scenes set the tone for an elegant tablescape, where floral arrangements overflowed with garden roses and dahlia balls. The unexpected addition of vibrant Vanda orchids introduced a bold, contemporary twist, while delicate Oncidium orchids, with their tiny, speckled yellow petals, added a sense of movement and lightness.
The result? A Provence-inspired wedding vision that feels both timeless and refreshingly modern, perfect for the couple seeking a celebration infused with artistry, romance, and high fashion.
