Elegant outdoor wedding ceremony with flowers and couple

The design and the planning of this wedding was conducted by talented wedding planners Lisa and Franck from Wanderlust Wedding, who chose the fantastic Hotel Belles Rives on the French Riviera for it’s amazing sea views during the ceremony and the unique decoration throughout the entire venue, inspired by “The Great Gatsby.”  Keep scrolling to see all of the beautiful photos captured by Thomas Audiffren Photography and the stunning florals by Sisters And B.  Don’t forget – you can see all the images in the full gallery here, including the bride’s incredibly covetable shoes (We’ll give you a hint: They’re Jimmy Choo!).

Sisters And Blush created beautiful and delicate floral decorations in a “Jardin à la Française” inspiration. The chairs and tableware were rented by Latini Design – based in Italy – to sublimate the French Touch of this dreamy decor.

The ceremony was incredibly emotional and inspiring due to its personal nature. It was a typical Bahá’í (Persian) ceremony with the very important table of Sofreh, full of poetic symbols such as two chandeliers (symbolizing Energy and Clarity), a mirror (representing light and truth), apple and pomegranate (symbolizing health and prosperity), and honey (representing sweetness).

As always, film photographer Thomas Audiffren  was aided by  Carmencita Film Lab to process and scan the films.  Truly no detail went unnoticed.
