Wedding at Chateau La Napoule – French Riviera
Jennifer and Peter’s Welcome Dinner in Cannes
The celebration of Jennifer and Peter, an elegant couple who chose the private beach “Le Villebrequin” on the Croisette in Cannes for their welcome dinner.
Their choice of location was both strategic and romantic. Every year on July 4th, the city of Cannes hosts an extraordinary fireworks display over the bay — a dazzling spectacle of light and color that illuminates the Mediterranean night. Jennifer and Peter decided to host their dinner on that very evening, giving their guests a once-in-a-lifetime experience where celebration met magic. As the sun began to set over the Riviera, guests arrived at Le Villebrequin, greeted by the gentle sound of waves and the scent of the sea breeze. The Aava Wedding team designed the entire décor with stunning creativity. The setting was rich in color, inspired by the vibrant hues of summer on the Côte d’Azur — coral, turquoise, golden yellow, and soft blush tones that echoed the region’s natural palette. Every floral arrangement and table detail reflected the warmth and luminosity of the Riviera.
The tables were elegantly dressed with delicate linens, glassware that shimmered in the evening light, and arrangements of fresh flowers that seemed to capture the essence of summer. As twilight deepened, soft lighting and candles created a dreamy atmosphere. Then came the fireworks — brilliant explosions of red, gold, and silver lighting up the sea, reflected in the eyes of the newlyweds and their guests. It was a moment that seemed to stop time. The laughter of friends, the sound of champagne glasses clinking, the glow of sparklers in the warm air — all of it beautifully documented by Christophe Serrano, who moved discreetly among the guests, capturing genuine moments of joy, intimacy, and celebration.
The Atmosphere of the Welcome Dinner
Over the course of three days, guests were immersed in the magic of the South of France. The festivities began with a chic welcome event at Villebrequin Beach under the Luxury hotel like Carlton, Martinez at cannes, followed by an outdoor ceremony surrounded by lush gardens and the sound of gentle waves. The evening unfolded in the château’s grand courtyard, transformed by candlelight, red florals, and elegant table settings that reflected the warm, passionate tones of the Mediterranean. Every detail was curated to showcase the effortless beauty that defines a luxury wedding in the South of France.
