A Romantic French Garden Wedding Shoot

This post A Romantic French Garden Wedding Shoot first appeared on The Wedding Community Blog

We have a really pretty treat for you with this romantic French garden wedding shoot. Captured by Amanda Karen Photography, this shoot will make you dream of sunny days in France. The ethereal details and pretty tones of pink, grey, green and ivory are so romantic.

An amazing styling team created this vision of a romantic, whimsical French garden wedding with a chic, modern twist. The shoot brought together British, French and Italian suppliers for a true destination collaboration.

So sit back and look through the fabulous pictures from this romantic shoot…

An Intimate Wedding in a Beautiful French Garden

“The romantic, whimsical French garden with a modern twist inspired this shoot. Rustic textures in an enchanting palette of blush pink, greys, greens and ivory. My talented friend Amanda Karen captured the fabulous photographs perfectly.

“We wanted to share our vision of an intimate wedding in a beautiful French garden. A few people having a lovely meal outside, with a backdrop of beautiful hills and countryside. We also wanted to show that Grasse is a beautiful region to marry in.”

The Perfect Backdrop

“The shoot was in the grounds of the beautiful Mas Peyloubet, Grasse, in the French Riviera. The surrounding countryside provided the perfect backdrop.”

Understated Elegance

“French wedding style is all about achieving a look of understated elegance. The idea stemmed from our love of all things vintage and romantic. By gathering inspiration from beautiful lace and gorgeous pastels we created a modern twist on a timeless concept.”

A Romantic Soiree

“This shoot is full of beautiful colour pallets. Setting the table with beautiful cotton linens and adding a touch of romance with glassware and gold cutlery was an obvious choice. The menu set the tone for a romantic soiree, while the floral centrepieces were the table’s pièce de résistance.”
