The wedding of Nicky and Daniel is a special one. Held in Chateu Grimaldi, the venue adds its own essence that makes this wedding really beautiful. It is lovely how little decoration is only what's needed to enhance the beauty of this place. Lit candles of various heights and clusters of white flowers with greeneries truly enhanced the sanctity of this setting.
The one thing that really stole our attention is the bridesmaid dresses. At first glimpse it might seem like nothing special. Turns out that the dress is anything you want it to be, literally. The fabric slurs is up for the bridesmaids to twist, turn, or toe to their hearts' content. And they come up with three distinctive styles with the same original dress. Lovely idea don't you think?
Here is what Greg Finck, the photographer, said about the wedding:
It can be tricky to attend to the wedding of an English and a German during the soccer world cup. England had just been beaten by Uruguay the day before, and Germany was heading to being the next world champion. This however didn't even bring a cloud over Nicky and Daniel's chateau wedding in Provence.
Nicky and Daniel is a wonderful couple from London, who had decided to tie the knot under the blue sky of sunny Provence. A fabulous day at Château Grimaldi, a private chateau in Aix-en-Provence, with stunning scenery and a pool embedded in the middle of castle ruins. This place vehicles all the beauty and magical light of Provence. Everything here is about pastel colors, soft and warm light, and the smell of lavender and olive groves.
Nicky and Daniel's day had been perfectly designed by Lavender&Rose, with their usual touch of beauty and elegance. Floral design by Wayne Riley Flowers, perfectly matched the location's softness, with in particular splendid rose bouquets for the bride and bride's maids. Nicky's effortless beauty had been enhanced by a bespoke Caroline Castigliano's gown, and a pair of Christian Louboutin's high heels.
The ceremony took place in Château Grimaldi's private chapel, adding much intimacy to that very emotional moment. Once more the design was fabulous, with candles illuminating that intimate dark chapel. The cocktail took place just nearby the pool, in the middle of castle ruins while a jazz band was playing and guests savoring some Champagne. We leveraged the beautiful afternoon light for a lovely couple session in the middle of olive groves.
The day ended with an elegant outdoor dinner, set just in front the chateau, with beautiful table setting from Lavender&Rose, and Wayne Riley Flowers. The sun was setting on a beautiful, and I could not help but taking our lovely couple in a lavender field, just nearby, for some last shots with the last rays of sun and a fabulous light.
Congratulations to Nicky&Daniel for an amazing and unforgettable day.
