A poetic and free-spirited wedding inspiration at Château du Griffon, in the heart of the Luberon. In the luminous intimacy of Château du Griffon, nestled in the heart of Provence, two free souls choose to rewrite their story.

Not a fixed fairytale, but a living narrative — the story of a love that is deliberate, delicate, and timeless.

A love that, like an undeniable truth, seemed to have been there… all along. This inspiration shoot was imagined as a real wedding. Juliette and Oliver — a fictional couple brought to life with sincerity — experienced these moments as if they were truly their own.

It all begins with a welcome dinner at sunset, in the château’s garden. A long table, a refined bar, laughter shared. She wears a fluid jumpsuit, he a light suit. The atmosphere is soft, almost suspended in time. The next day, they each get ready in sun-drenched rooms. Then comes the highlight: a secular ceremony, envisioned as a simple celebration deeply rooted in nature. That day, the wind joined in. It disrupted the set design, but not the hearts. The team, united and flexible, adjusted, adapted. And finally, the moment happened. Even more real, more vibrant. The creative thread running through this shoot: drapery. Light fabrics, suspended like veils of poetry.

You’ll find them on the seating chart, the stationery, the table linens. The scenography plays with textures, light, and volume — a strong aesthetic choice, both bold and infinitely elegant. Dinner unfolds in the château’s white room.

A minimalist table is adorned with a dramatic cascading floral arrangement, like a botanical waterfall. Candles, fine tableware, and natural wood chairs complete this delicate tableau. She now wears a perfectly tailored gown, he a black tuxedo. They embody this new version of themselves: confident, elegant, free.

This project was born from a desire to gather passionate vendors around a shared vision: a wedding that dares, that tells a story, that elevates without excess. A refined aesthetic, meaningful details, and a great deal of heart.
