Provencal Palette
Capture the romantic colours and elegant beauty of Provence with a dreamy colour palette inspired by the region. This could be anything from the rich and rustic tones of the French landscapes to the ethereal hues of classic French décor. Incorporate complementing colours such as powder blue, lavender, sage green, vibrant yellow, and citrus orange into your decor, floral arrangements, and attire for a romantic atmosphere that reflects the beauty of the South of France.
Scent Infusion
Your summer wedding can smell as beautiful as it looks by adding scent infusion into your celebration. For a dreamy and ethereal colour theme add lavender and eucalyptus into your table décor and floral displays. If your vibe is more vibrant then the citrus notes of lemons, oranges and grapefruits will capture the essence of the Mediterranean and would work perfectly in signature cocktails, or as additions to table centrepieces. Adding a bespoke perfume to your day as favours is also a luxurious touch, close to the Chateau is the infamous perfumery region where you could get creative with scent infusion.
Floral Wonderland
With an abundance of florals available in the summer months, the floral world is your oyster so take advantage of it! Create a floral wonderland for your outdoor ceremony and reception spaces, they will complement the natural beauty of the backdrop perfectly. Think cascading floral installations, blooming arches, and lush garlands for a romantic and ethereal ambience.
