only is this wedding one of the most beautiful we've ever seen - from the venue
to the fleur - but it's also sprinkled with sentimental design elements that
all have a beautiful story behind them. Weep in Provence took
inspiration from the bride's childhood memories to create a truly personalized
and special day from start to finish. The couple's adorable 7-month-old son
completely stole the show, the amount of "awww's" that happened while
going through Oliver Fly Photography's stunning images were too
frequent to count. Oh, and did we mention BIG DAY's INSANE floral
arrangements? I mean.... that arbor.is.everything. Keep on scrolling to see all
this French fairy-tale has to offer.
What did you envision your wedding
being prior to planning? What was your color palette and your style vision?
From the Bride... When we first started to plan the wedding, I envisioned
an intimate and romantic setting. We wanted to celebrate our special day with
our closest family and friends. Therefore, choosing La Bastide de Gordes worked
perfectly with the vision of the wedding. Then, came the wonderful wedding
planner who introduced us to Morgana of Big Day Flowers. The initial
starting point was the floral arch. I wanted to create an ethereal, romantic,
yet natural setting. I had taken a picture of a natural arch is one of my daily
walks at Regent’s Park, London (I lived there for 10 years, before moving to
Paris and meeting the love of my life in Paris). I showed the picture of the
arch to Morgana, and then I told her the story of how I made a wish under a
cherry blossom tree on Hyde Park, where I spoke to my late grandmother and
asked to unite my life with my soul mate: someone who gets me, who is there
for, someone I dance and laugh with together. 7 months after making this wish
under the cherry blossom tree, I met my husband in Paris, where I had just
moved. I asked Morgana if we could somehow incorporate the cherry blossoms into
the floral arrangements, and she did so. It was a spring, a new beginning, love, and romance featured in the wedding. The other detail was white butterflies.
When I was a little girl, growing up in Bulgaria, my grandfather will take me
to our villa in the summer, and on the way there, he will point out white
butterflies that we will see flying above the grass and say to me, "If you
see a white butterfly, it means your whole summer will be beautiful!”
This is why, I found paperwhite butterflies, and had the lovely calligrapher
Jessica Shady, write the names of our guests on them. The wedding style was
very intimate, authentic, and romantic. It felt like a fairy-tale, and a dream
come true.
Why did you choose this wedding
venue?
We chose the wedding venue because we had taken a weekend trip there two years
prior to getting married. It was still the beginning of our relationship, and
it is a special place for us. The venue is intimate and incredibly romantic.
We also thought the staff showed incredible hospitality towards us, and we
thought it will be a great place to get married. I am Turkish-Bulgarian, and my
husband is American. Many of our guests traveled from far away, and we wanted
to give them an experience where they will truly enjoy themselves and have a
lovely time. What unique elements or DIY details did you include? The
butterflies, the arch (the write up above explains it), but another detail is
also the cake. It was litchi vanilla and Made in Cake recreated the cake I
used to have in London with my maid of honor, Annabel, during our coffee
dates. Another unique detail was having my friend Tania (Grier) do my makeup.
She was there during cocktail, wedding, and brunch, never leaving my side for a
minute. I met her in London more than 10 years ago, and we immediately became
friends. Whenever she would do my makeup for events I was invited to, we would
jokingly say that she will one day do my wedding makeup. It was wonderful to
have her there. She was also the one to put my veil on before I walked down the
aisle – a very special moment for me.
What was your favorite moment? Your favorite
detail?
All of it, but here are some of our most special moments:
- Our son :
This was the most wonderful and blessed moment of our wedding: to have our son
be present and celebrate with us. He was there with me when getting ready, and
he was the one to bring the rings down the aisle. The day after we had the
ceremony, he turned 7 months exactly, and we had a ‘birthday party’ for him
during brunch with his own cake and balloons that spelled his name. He was the
highlight of everything.
- The ceremony led by my father in law:
It was very personal to have my husband’s father to lead the ceremony. He did a
beautiful job. It was personal, warm and lovely. In addition to that, we had
three people that are very special to us (my husband’s two sisters, and my
cousin) read three special poems to us. It was a very intimate and personal
ceremony.
- Having Annabel as my maid of honor:
Annabel, my maid of honor, was absolutely wonderful. She has a very special
place in my heart, and she has been such an inspiration, a friend. When my
husband decided to propose to me, he had contacted her (she is a jewelry
designer) and asked her to create the engagement ring. There is a pink heart
inside the ring, to symbolize ‘the eternal romantic’ that I am. I wore her
earrings during the ceremony, cocktail party the night before, and even during
brunch. She was next to me along the way in this journey, and not only during
the wedding. When I look back, it feels like she has been there in the most
crucial moments of my life. An incredible friend and it was such an honor and
a blessing to have her there at every step of the way.
- The vows:
We decided to write our vows, and it was incredibly beautiful and touching.
When my husband started to speak, I could not hold back my tears. It was the
most romantic and wonderful thing anyone has ever done for me, and I will
remember this very moment for the rest of my life. He wrote them that morning,
and he kept showing me funny vows on YouTube a couple of days before. He is also
not someone to be very vocal about his emotions (instead he shows it with his
actions), and I did not expect the vows to be so heartfelt, so beautiful and
touching.
- Walking down the aisle, entering the aisle and seeing it all for the very first
time:
We had spent a long time with Morgana planning the arch, the floral details,
and the aisle decorations. However, I did not see any of it and how it all came
together until I walked out into the gardens. It’s already a very emotional
moment, but the second I walked out; I was overwhelmed by the beauty of it all.
It is an indescribable emotion, and it is absolutely thrilling, and beautiful.
Overall our wedding made me feel that my whole life came together, from my
childhood in Bulgaria, a life spent between London, Istanbul, Paris, and US, and
the end was a fairy-tale like ending. I said in my vows that many years ago I
had rewritten my life story as a fairy-tale, where everything that has happened
good or bad, makes sense in the end because it all leads me to my one true
love. Our wedding day was truly the representation of that. In the end, it was
only and ever loves.
Tell us about your flowers, your
gown, your favors for your guests, your cake… we want all the diets!
I have a leather goods label, and we decided to create custom business card
holders for all the guests. We had our names and a logo that was created for
us, by our talented graphic designer friend (Black balloon Agency) printed on
them. It was a personal touch to the wedding, and something the guests could
take with themselves and use every day.
What is one piece of advice that you could give brides-to-be?
Simply relax and know that this is a day to celebrate your love. I did not
stress over any details, including my dress. In fact, I chose it in a few hours.
It was the second store I went to, and the second dress I tried on. I could have
spent months trying to find another dress, but I focused on what matters:
celebrating love and that wedding celebration is only one day of your life. We
also invited only the closest family and friends, who made the wedding even more
special and everyone, commented on the positive and happy vibe. It was a
wonderful wedding, because of the people we got to share it with. They were the
ones who made it beautiful. This also reminds me of another important factor:
choosing the wedding planner and all the other vendors. Once again, I chose
everyone very quickly and looked not only at their portfolio, but their
positivity as people. I spoke to my wedding planner over the phone (I live in
Paris and she are based in Provence). She was the second person I had spoken
to, and I knew right away, she was the right one. I didn’t need to call anyone
else on the list. I believe choosing the right people around you is important because they can be there to support you and remember to have trust. This is
very important.
