Beth & Kieren Destination Wedding in Provence
Beth and Kieren married in 2025 and celebrated with a 3-day party at the charming Château de la Garde. They fell in love with the venue immediately and it was perfect for their intimate weekend in Provence.
They kicked things off with a cocktail party (where the bar was emptied in under two hours!) and this set the tone for everything that followed. They were, without question, a group of proper party animals.
One of the standout features at this château is the forest ceremony setting. Beth wanted pretty but a little different for her flowers – and she nailed it. When you’ve been doing this a while, you spot trends looping back around, and Anthuriums were having their moment again.
Beth probably wins the prize for the most dramatic dresses. Her Pallas Couture gown was bold and ahead of the curve. I’ll be honest, I wasn’t convinced at first, but I ended up loving it – mostly because she owned it completely. That’s the magic: a bride who knows her style and wears it with confidence.
The whole thing was theirs from start to finish. Intimate, fun, and full of frivolity – exactly as they wanted. A couple after my own heart.
