We truly believe that beautiful stories could only be magnified by beautiful details.
With a glamorous palette, turning from nude to gold, including some shades of blush, the result went beyond Magdalena & Eoin’s expectations.
From the very first minutes, Magdalena was clear on her expectations regarding the scenography of her destination wedding in South of France.
It had to be a romantic and a glamorous wedding, without any possibility to get some meringue or bling spirit. And that’s a good timing: meringue is dead, and bling is not allowed under our roof!

Once we found the dream location (see photo below), I immediately knew, felt and understood that Magdalena and Eoin’s romantic and glamorous destination wedding was being to be created beyond expectations. And that happened!

No matter you have 216 guests nor 12, the wedding venue offers spaces that have to be optimised. Where to host the wedding ceremony? Where to host the Cocktail hour? Where to host the dinner? Where to host the party? Phew… so many questions that could drive you nuts and crazy. Hopefully, this is one of the multifaceted nature of my job. As the couple was not able to travel and choose the location prior their big day, we simply had Facetime meeting. Supplemented with maps of the locations, it was more simple to choose and confirm the use of the different spaces. We had the wedding ceremony into the vineyards – right before the harvest. Let me tell you it was out of time and splendid. Then follow the wedding cocktail in front of the pool area, then, and the dinner, in front of the Mas, under the pergolas with their falling vines. The party was under the stars.
September was the best period as grapes were ready for harvest. Right before it, we had time to celebrate! 
The vineyards were welcoming. It was a must-do to celebrate the ceremony there.
Olive trees are part of the deal when you decide to get married in South of France. 
Making obvious that guests would have the most perfect view on the Mas during the wedding ceremony.When I had the dream location in mind, and my clients confirm the choice that I presented to them, I am very excited to open the door to creativity! In this Mas in Provence, I received enough to be convinced that the tableware would be an ode to beauty, simplicity and authenticity. I worked then on fine materials – not to change! : a white linen tablecloth, with assorted napkins. Then I selected a refined beige china with border caramel and I matched a line of four smoked cristal glasses. Why four? One water glass + two glasses for wine – white wine and red wine + one cup of champagne for toasts. I also choose a beautiful line of cutlery: silver and nacre with lace cutting details.
We took care about the ironed chair, that enhance the experience of elegant atmosphere for this outdoor reception.
And when time came to lighten the candles, we were happy about the mercury glasses we chose .Floral Design > An assortment of blush David Austin roses, all tied in a splendid long garland of greeneries, where high candle jar and mercury vases also all aside the garland. Stationery > A brown crafted line of stationery had been designed for Magdalena & Eoin. Gold foil and white fonts had been chosen to keep the delicate spirit of this destination wedding. From the welcome cards delicately placed in each guests’ rooms, to the menu on the table, we also created a glazed board with a pure white calligraphy « Welcome to Magdalena & Eoin’s Wedding in Provence ».
Perfect mix of flowers and greeneries, as we predicted warm temperatures during this summer wedding ceremony.
The fireplace was a good-great-fabulous-wow excuse to add greenery garlands and some more big candles!
Wedding signs add personalisation to your wedding.
Cuties playing during the ceremony. Even at 3 years old, you can both play and be gorgeous! 
We had a lot of excitement to create this design for Magdalena and Eoin. We went beyond expectations as we paid attention to details! We also pay attention to each story and then design we have to create with the couple. We are ready to move forward with you. By your side and step by step.
