CHATEAU
LA TOUR VAUCROS
Château La Tour Vaucros was the perfect background for this wedding inspiration session. This was brilliantly captured by wedding planner La Phocéenne Events and photographer Mickael Courtois. That project is the result of our collaboration during the REFERENCE masterclass. It is a true celebration of elegance and delicacy. We wanted to capture the essence of Provence, while adding a touch of modernity and refinement. For this wedding, they were the perfect models to represent the spirit of Douce Provence. Axelle and Valentin are young lovers with a passion for fashion and simplicity. The photo shoot session was a celebration of the couple’s intimate and distinguished union. Every detail, from the choice of dress to the floral arrangements, perfectly reflected their love of Provence and their taste for elegance.
PRE-WEDDING AT HOTEL CRILLON LE BRAVE
For their pre-wedding rehearsal dinner, Axelle and Valentin chose the Hôtel Crillon le Brave, an intimate, family-friendly venue. This offers a wonderful view of Provence. The choice of this hilltop view enhances the couple’s desire. For this occasion, they want to surround themselves with serenity and natural beauty. However, the bride’s dress is an exceptional creation and the jewelry has also been carefully selected. This shows the purity and delicacy of this shooting. The stationery, designed by Creme de Papier, uses soft, balanced shades. The flatlay, created by La Phocéenne Events wedding planner Charlotte, gives an extra touch of luxury, particularly with the installation of the black veil under the stationery. This gives movement to the composition and respects the refined aesthetic desired by the bride and groom. An elegant and graceful finish for this painting, created with love and sophistication. Floresie’s floral arrangements add a touch of freshness and romance.
HAUTE COUTURE AT CHATEAU LA TOUR VAUCROS
The most important aspect of this inspirational wedding was the week spent at Château La Tour Vaucros. It’s an authentic venue that’s so full of history. While remaining traditional and simple in their rehearsal dinner at Crillon-le-Brave, Axelle and Valentin have explored another facet of their passion for haute couture and French gastronomy. Under Mickael’s artistic direction, the photo shoot at Château La Tour Vaucros mixed editorial aesthetics with art. Photographic poses inspired by haute couture. The castle’s stone walls and wrought-iron furniture create a luxurious, timeless atmosphere. This enhances the concept of “quiet luxury” beloved of the bride and groom. Finally, the day ends with a sumptuous wedding dinner under a glass roof installed by Be Lounge. Floresie has transformed the environment with a spectacular scenography. Green flower necklaces are in perfect harmony with current trends and bring a touch of elegance to the evening. The color palette, which featured the blurred Pantone peach hue for 2024, sublimated the wedding table. But bows on this wedding table are the big trend of the year. They add a touch of modernity.
A WONDERFUL IN PROVENCE
For this event, we designed a shoot at Château La Tour Vaucros that was original and different from the previous ones. A true celebration of love and quiet luxury with the timeless beauty of Provence. With grace and elegance, Axelle and Valentin created the vision we wanted to share. a union where every detail is essential. In order to create an authentic and unforgettable story, we didn’t forget to communicate emotion and beauty during this inspiration shooting.
