In the heart of the South of France, where the scent of lavender dances on the warm Mediterranean breeze, a dream wedding took place. The enchanting Bastide du Roy, with its timeless charm and picturesque surroundings, served as the perfect backdrop for Shayna and David’s unforgettable celebration. This special day was meticulously planned for the French couple, who currently reside in Dubai. Their vision was clear: they wanted to bring the essence of their homeland to life in a way that would captivate their 250 guests.
The Venue: Bastide du Roy
Nestled in the idyllic French countryside, Bastide du Roy is a venue that exudes elegance and historical significance. With its rustic architecture, manicured gardens, and breathtaking views, it was the ideal location to host this grand wedding. Shayna and David fell in love with the venue at first sight, drawn to its authenticity and the serene ambiance that perfectly matched their vision of a quintessential South of France wedding.
A Blossoming Affair: The Floral Arrangements
One of the highest priorities for this wedding was the floral arrangements. Shayna envisioned a floral wonderland that would leave guests in awe. Our talented team of florists transformed Bastide du Roy into a blooming paradise. From the entrance archway adorned with cascading flowers to the intricately designed centerpieces on each table, every detail was thoughtfully curated.
The color palette featured soft pastels, lush greens, and bursts of vibrant blooms, reflecting the natural beauty of Provence. Roses, peonies, and lavender were among the stars of the show, creating a romantic and ethereal atmosphere. The floral arrangements not only enhanced the beauty of the venue but also added a personal touch that resonated with Shayna and David’s love for their homeland.
Entertainment Extravaganza
Entertainment was another top priority for the couple. They wanted their guests to experience a night of joy and celebration, filled with unforgettable moments. To achieve this, we curated a diverse lineup of entertainment that catered to the couple’s tastes and their guests’ preferences.
A live band set the tone for the evening with a mix of classic French chansons and modern hits, ensuring everyone was on their feet dancing. The highlight of the night was a surprise performance by a renowned local artist, a gift from the bride’s parents, which added an extra layer of excitement and emotion to the celebration.
For the younger guests and those young at heart, a professional DJ took over later in the evening, transforming the dance floor into a vibrant party scene. The energy was palpable as guests danced under the stars, creating memories that would last a lifetime.
A Jewish Ceremony to Remember
The wedding ceremony was a beautiful blend of tradition and personalization. As the couple had a Jewish heritage, a traditional Jewish ceremony was held, adding a layer of cultural richness to the day. The ceremony took place under a beautifully decorated chuppah, symbolizing the home the couple would build together.
The Rabbi officiated the ceremony, guiding the couple through the customs and rituals with grace and warmth. The sound of the breaking glass and the guests’ resounding “Mazel Tov!” marked the beginning of their journey as husband and wife. It was a deeply moving and joyous moment that resonated with all in attendance.
Reception and Dining
Following the ceremony, guests were treated to a lavish reception in the courtyard of Bastide du Roy. The tables were elegantly set, with floral centerpieces echoing the theme of the ceremony. The soft lighting and rustic décor created an intimate and welcoming atmosphere. The couple’s choice of a sumptuous menu featuring local delicacies delighted the guests, making the dining experience as memorable as the ceremony itself.
