A French Garden Wedding That Felt Like a Painting

Meredith and Ethan’s wedding at Château du Martinay was a beautiful celebration of love, style, and heartfelt moments. With the French countryside surrounding them and an elegant palette of cream, blush, Provence blue, and lush greenery, every detail felt intentional and timeless.

Meredith and Ethan’s morning was full of excitement, emotions, and unforgettable moments. While Meredith got ready with her bridesmaids, surrounded by laughter and a few happy tears, Ethan spent his morning with the groomsmen, playing pool and setting the perfect tone for the day ahead before saying, “I do.”    

Their ceremony at the breathtaking Château du Martinay in Provence felt like stepping into a fairytale. Nestled among picturesque gardens and grand historic architecture, the château’s timeless beauty made every moment even more magical. As Meredith walked down the aisle, Ethan couldn’t hold back his emotions—tearing up as he saw his bride for the first time.  

After the ceremony, guests enjoyed a relaxed cocktail hour in the garden, sipping signature drinks and savoring the sunshine and easygoing atmosphere. 

"Upon arrival, we were spellbound by the elegance of the design, which harmoniously blended with the natural surroundings. The carefully chosen palette of cream and white created a romantic and refined atmosphere perfect for this momentous occasion."


As the sun set, the celebration continued under a canopy of twinkling lights, creating the most magical atmosphere for an unforgettable evening. Heartfelt speeches brought both laughter and tears, while beautiful first dances set the tone for a night full of joy. Guests filled the dance floor, enjoying every moment of the celebration. The evening ended on a high note with a show-stopping croquembouche—equal parts delicious and elegant—perfectly capping off a truly special day.
