The wedding season is fast approaching with the arrival of warm weather. Folies de Provence offers you a whole range of reception decoration ideas and original guest gifts that will surprise your guests while leaving an unforgettable memory of this enchanting moment.

Calm and delight

Close your eyes and imagine... sun-drenched lavender fields, alleys of century-old olive trees and vineyards, hilltop villages with sumptuous bastides and magnificent Provençal mas, wine estates as far as the eye can see, the song of the cicadas and crickets... There you are... Welcome to Provence!

The framework is set for a dream day where we say Yes for life ♡

Absolute relaxation and total escape

Whether you are a native or simply in love with this beautiful region, many couples choose to get married in Provence. And it's easy to see why! The towns and villages of character in the Alpilles, Haute Provence or Luberon will make you fall in love with their many authentic charms. Idyllic places to guarantee a chic and bohemian wedding in places of charm and elegance.

We have found some inspiring places hidden away in the greenery. Here are a few luxury hotels or refined guest houses:

Guest house Monastère des Ségriès, a charming place located in the heart of the Verdon natural park in Moustiers-Ste-Marie

Le Mas du Juge, well-known as the birthplace, home and inspiration of the poet Frédéric Mistral, located a few minutes from Saint-Rémy de Provence

The Domaine Saint-Antonin, a typical Provencal farmhouse that combines classicism with the picturesque charm of ancient architecture, located in Jouques near Aix-en-Provence

An authentic and romantic atmosphere

Once you have found the perfect place to celebrate your happy day and decided where the cocktail party, the banquet and the dance floor will be held, it is time to think about the decoration that is so important for a successful wedding. 

Thanks to its luminosity, which has inspired famous painters, and its thousand and one warm colours, the picturesque setting of Provence is almost enough to celebrate such an event. Lavender, the emblematic flower of the region, adds an extra Provencal touch to the whole. 

Here are some ideas for a very special day:

• On the reception tables or on the backs of chairs (not forgetting those in the church and the town hall), bouquets of lavender, simple or accompanied by white roses and gypsophila tied with a pretty ribbon or raffia, bring a simple yet chic elegance,

• At the exit of the church, think of a loose lavender throw using small cones filled with lavender flowers distributed to your guests,

• Scattered on the tables or attached to the napkins, sprigs of lavender beyond bring softness and delicacy,

• To make the place cards more original, think of decorating them with lavender sprigs,

• Lavender candles or other scents from Provence can be placed on the reception tables for a soft and warm atmosphere. These can also be decorated with sprigs of lavender and pretty ribbons to fit in perfectly with your country-style decor and sparkle all night long! 

Small gifts that make a difference

Leaving a trace of this fabulous day and beautiful memories for your guests can also be a source of reflection to avoid falling into the classic gifts of most weddings you have attended. 

To stand out from the rest and surprise your guests, here are some inspirations for original guest gifts:

• Small embroidered or coloured sachets filled with lavender that smell of Provence. In different shapes, in linen, cotton or organza and in the colours of the south, they will leave beautiful scented memories in the hearts for a long time, 

• Little glass vials filled with lavender flowers,

• Small lavender candies or nougats with lavender to replace the traditional sugared almonds,

• Small jute bags filled with herbs from Provence,

• Marseille soaps decorated with sprigs of lavender or presented in pretty Provencal-inspired boxes, but also heart-shaped soaps,

• Beautiful compositions with the products of your choice to personalise your gifts even more... 

Getting married in Provence is a unique experience. Thanks to its lush nature and exceptional setting, its mild and sunny climate, its sober and luxurious atmosphere, its Provencal products, its sun-drenched fruits and vegetables, its tasty cuisine and its great wines, you will love this magical moment!
