We LOVED working with Julia and Eric to bring their French provincial wedding vision to life! When we first met, they described their ultimate dream of transforming the back courtyard of their apartment building into a welcoming, luxe European countryside celebration with a modern twist. They did a lot of DIY work to prep the space in advance by having the space cleaned out, stringing lots of bistro lighting and planting large potted olive trees.
Our first step in the design process was determining a color palette and this one was a no-brainer. Lavender! Nothing says French Provincial like the swaying fields of fresh lavender. To bring in depth we worked with several shades of purple and added greenery in shades of sage and olive.
Knowing what other details Julia and Eric were bringing in like rented eclectic seating, wine barrels as high top cocktail tables and vintage glassware, we were able to seamlessly put the finishing touches on top. Our botanical designs included potted lavender, staged baskets and ladders with styled climbing greenery and amber etched bud vases overflowing with “just from the meadow” botanicals. And let’s not forget the candlelight. One of our fav details was creating the lantern-lit pathway into the space!
