A vintage wedding in the South West of France

August 2024, in this picturesque old abbey, nestled in the French countryside in the South West of France, Fleur and Rick tied the knot with their fmaily and friends. Fleur being half French, half English, Rick being English, they both live in Dubai, it made sense to gather everyone in this beautiful part of the world.

Destination weding planner and photographer, Clementine and Mark from Awardweddings had the best time planning and photographing this gorgeous destination wedding.

Hair & Make-up

Fleur chose a glamourous look with a gorgeous up do, and Charlotte Tilbury make up.

The dress

Fleur chose a sublime dress with the most gorgeous bow!

The bridal party wore a pink dresscode with mismatched dresses.

Rick the groom, wore a relaxed yet sophisticated light pink suit. Definitely a colour of 2024!

Wedding flat lays

One part about the morning we love are creating the couple's wedding flat lays with all the accessories they have carefully gathered and planned for the previous months. It's a creative part of the day, and so exciting to see everything coming together!

Vintage wedding styling

Fleur & Rick wanted a French vintage wedding styling and we love the various plates and clothes, bespoke stationery and handmade candles. We just couldn't resist to create more flat lays with the flowers of the wedding. What do you think about these gorgeous details?! Hope you love them as much as we do!!

The ceremony

An outdoor intimate ceremony in a whimsical setting, with a dreamy backdrop... If you're taking your guests from across the world, this is a pretty special place to be...

We love the trail of flowers coming out of the floor for an organic, country look, with these colour palette of corals, mute reds, cream, pale blue and a touch of yellow.

A wedding cocktail reception in an old abbey

This epic old abbey with the best pool inside is just the perfect place for a cocktail reception. Canapes, cocktails in the gardens and around the pool, just the perfect set up to soak in the place!

Wedding group shots

Who said that wedding group photos had to be tedious?... With good organisation, photos are fun and a great time with your bridal party and family!

A French wedding dinner

Carrying through the vintage theme all the way to dinner with these gorgeous antic plates, cutlery and clothes, tying in perfectly with the bespoke stationery, flowers and candles.
