THE WEDDING ESTATE: A DREAM SETTING

Their wedding took place at Mas de Pradines in Montoulieu , a historic estate dating back to the 14th century, offering a majestic setting with its sumptuous arches.

Marion, an elegant and refined bride

A minimalist dress enhanced by a delicate back jewel

Marion chose a wedding dress with a sleek and sophisticated style, highlighting her bare back. To complete her look, she opted for the Raffinée back necklace , a delicate piece of jewelry that added a touch of subtle elegance to her outfit.

"Before finding a back necklace that I liked, it was another story! And I came across yours, quite sober, elegant above all and I loved it! When I received it I knew right away that it was the right one and I really loved it! It went perfectly with the rest of the outfit and people said the same thing: pretty, sober, elegant, perfect! Today I can add tough because I danced until the end of the night with it! :)" - Marion

Hardly ever wearing a necklace, Marion was extremely hesitant before deciding to accessorize with her jewelry for her bridal look. She wondered: how to highlight my back neckline while staying understated from the front?

Get ready for Marion's magnificent decoration, of course completely handmade! From the guestbook (more original you won't find) to the bride's gazette, Marion made her wedding unique with her creativity and commitment to making the most beautiful day of her life just like her.

Small last-minute problem: the rain… Marion and Axel found themselves on the big day accompanied by the enemy of all weddings on the very morning of the ceremony. Marion was able to cope right away and called on a decorator to adapt her decoration to the situation. The talents of Marion and Tatjana S. Baralic created a sublime harmony. For the floral arrangements, Marion called on her uncle, a florist in our pink city! For our Toulousaines, don't hesitate any longer and look at the sublime work of @lefleuriste31300 !

The theme of the decoration revolved around lavender . Axel, our young groom, started his lavender field production in 2020, alongside his studies.
This one is about 17 hectares and he sells most of his harvests in organic essential oil to pharmaceutical industries. However, recently, they have both launched their own sale and production of organic essential oil. It is time to support them and salute their work, we strongly advise you to consult their Instagram account: @talley_huile_essentielle

Let's get to the heart of the matter, Marion's handmade decoration. Let's start with the menu , designed and printed by Marion. She added fresh lavender flowers the day before with a wax seal.

For the arrival of the guests, Marion nestled a magnificent vintage mirror and stuck stickers on it that she printed directly at home. At the foot of this mirror, the bride and groom placed their wedding gazette , magazine style and a basket of fresh flowers of their production.

For the guest gifts, Marion also opted for handmade creations! A small bottle of essential oil , macramé-style key rings , fans and even handkerchiefs .

The highlight of the show: the guestbook . Marion made a stand with a guestbook made of a rotating postcard with printed photos of their travels. Each guest could leave a little note on the back of the card and insert it into the transparent glass urn with cute little origami flowers . Marion had also planned a bouquet of origami flowers, a vintage mirror and an ink stamp.

Marion even thought about the exit from the Town Hall, all the guests had a small cone of dried lavender to throw at the end of the ceremony <3

We would like to congratulate the two lovers for their sumptuous wedding! But also to warmly thank our bride Lilac Marion, who wore our Raffinée back necklace magnificently but who is above all a sublime young bride who showed kindness and commitment without appearing for our workshop <3

The road to unconditional love has only just begun!
