Elegant Provence wedding editorial at Chateau Martinay

August 6, 2024

Today we’re sharing a gorgeous Provence editorial that new 100LC guide member Vivien Malagnat captured at a photography workshop by Jeremie Hkb at the marvelous, historic French wedding venue Chateau Martinay. It’s perfect for those seeking a fairytale destination wedding on the French countryside in spring. But before we share the elegant wedding vignette designed by Claire Yossman Weddings, the team also included this stylish, summery scene in front of the chateau, which would make for the perfect rehearsal dinner or welcome party to help guests settle in…

Lemons and sunflowers make such joyful accents for a wedding bar! Love this vignette for a rehearsal dinner, welcome party, or cocktail hour after the ceremony.

Our bride and groom kicked off the festivities in airy wedding fits, a linen suit and blazer style wrap dress.

The team titled their editorial Esprit de Provence, the Spirit of Provence, as they sought to reflect the timeless beauty and romance that Provence is known for, beginning with the elegant invitation suite by Rue vendôme Studio.

Love opting for peach as a subtle departure from wedding blush!

Floral designer La Blonde et le Barbu Design meticulously crafted an exquisite wedding arch complete with peach and blush garden roses, white accent blooms, and lush greenery. What could be more fitting for a venue like Chateau Martinay?
