South of France Wedding Chic

South of France Wedding Chic
May 25, 2016 Albion Parties

The South of France is synonymous with laid back glamour and it is no surprise it has become a popular style to recreate for summer weddings. The sun-bleached hues of the pretty stone buildings set against a backdrop of azure seas and hills peppered in vineyards and lavender fields, provide an atmospheric palette for wedding planners. This is our guide on how to recreate the chic South of France look anywhere:

  • To create a smart yet relaxed setting for your guests, use outdoor seating areas with rattan chairs and comfortable cream cushions to emulate the beach bars of Pampelonne beach in St Tropez. Muted neutrals and hurricane lanterns will offset and define your outdoor seating areas.seating south of framce
  • Create fluid movement between the formal dinner setting and the reception areas, and use a marquee without sides (however, keep the option for sides should the weather change). This airy setting will complement our next tip.marqueesouth of france

 

  • The beautiful scenery of the South of France provides the key to dressing your table for a South of France setting which is to bring the outside in. Reflect the environment of the South of France in your table settings, using Provençal Lavender tucked into napkins, sunflowers in floral arrangements, and soft silver green olive branches to tie the look together. Experiment with Mediterranean fruit in arrangements to enhance the verdant look. Introduce colour through glassware in pastel colours to give life to the colour scheme.sunflowers

 

  • A neutral scheme provides a wonderful backdrop for exciting lighting. From sumptuous candles to white paper lanterns, the warmth of light will enhance the South of France look. Play with colours for the evening’s festivities, introducing violet lighting, reminiscent of elegant nightclubs to denote the change from reception to party time!evening south of france

 

And when the evening is over, leave the party with a flourish in an iconic Citroen 2CV!
