From a heartfelt “first look” to private moments together around the estate, Meghan and Patrick cherished every second. The planner organized a surprise for the couple and their special moment. “We offered a special moment to the couple by organizing a private picnic by the Sorgues River at the venue so that ‘Pat and Meg,’ as we dearly call them, could exchange their vows privately,” shared the planner. “They absolutely adored this kind touch and this special moment, which was filled with joy and emotions!”

Thoughtful floral arrangements of chamomile and white roses added a delicate charm to the setting, while the sunny Provençal day framed the event with natural beauty.
