1. Pastel flowers
Pastel wedding flowers set the softly romantic theme with sky blue, blush pink and lavender blooms recalling the dreamy colors of Provence. Pair with honey tones and sage green to evoke the Provençal landscape.
2. Elegant tablescapes
Elegantly set tables with vintage details will enhance the French chic look and transport your guests to the vineyards and lavender fields of Provence. Think antique-style crockery (bonus points if can pick up authentic pieces from a brocante); tall candelabra; linen napkins and stationery adorned with gold leaf and calligraphy.
3. French sweet treats
The French love their sweet treats so talk to your caterer about incorporating some gourmet delights into your menu, like macarons, madeleines, profiteroles, palmiers or éclairs. They should be as beautiful as they are delicious!
5. Choose a European style wedding venue
Finally and most importantly is your choice of venue and fortunately there are many beautiful US wedding venues with a European feel. Think vineyards, olive groves and flower farms, and look out for estates with sprawling gardens, outdoor terraces, fountains and European-style architecture.
4. Chic fashion
Choose effortlessly chic outfits that compliment the natural backdrop of your venue and floral design, such as a flowing gown with floral details, natural hair and beauty, and elegant understated jewelry.
