Mediterranean Beach Elopement in Provence

An intimate wedding on the wild coast

Instead of a classical wedding, our international couple preferred to chose freedom and privacy. On a sailboat, surrounded by their best friends, Colin, American, and Louis, French, lived an unforgettable elopement in between the hills of Provence and the Mediterranean Sea.

A wedding for two is not the right thing for everyone. But neither is a big family celebration. The compromise between the two felt just right for Colin and Louis: a private ceremony in the presence of their four closest and best friends. But that remained the only compromise, it seems. Concerning everything else, they decided on the full program: sun, beach and sea, but also emotions, fun and friendship were not neglected here.

The Golfe of St-Tropez and its particular light

The area of Saint-Tropez wasn’t chosen randomly. It is the place where they met during a holiday on the french coast. Naturally, this is where they said Yes to each other, on the magical scenery of the Rayol Canadel village.

Choosing to live a strong engagement, at the closest to nature and the sea, they sailed on a catamaran to land on the fine beach of Cavalaire. Where wedding planner Vanessa Roussel lovingly and with attention to detail made sure that the little company did not miss out on anything. She even had ceramic dishes custom made by hand, to match Colin and Louis’ wedding colors.

A simple ceremony on the sand, feet in the water, faces brushed by the soft wind. A seductive wedding dress of Aude Violette Créations. The sunset light skimming the hills before diving behind the horizon.
