Jeanette and Alessandro chose a crisp palette of white, ivory, and green for their Venezuelan-French destination wedding at Chateau de Robernier, a fairytale chateau wedding venue near Aix-en-Provence. Their spring celebration for 67 guests unfolded across the formal gardens and candlelit courtyard of a sun-drenched Provencal estate wedding destination in the South of France, captured in luminous detail by Laurine Bailly.

Inside the chateau's gilded salons, Jeanette stepped into a structured ivory ball gown with a square neckline and full skirt while Alessandro adjusted his white dinner jacket beside damask wall panels and crystal chandeliers. Fanny Calypso styled both bride and groom, keeping the look polished and understated to match the crisp palette they had chosen for the day.

The couple shared a private first look on the chateau's black-and-white checkered marble floor, Alessandro waiting with his back turned as Jeanette approached. They exchanged a quiet, unhurried moment before walking together through the ornate ground-floor rooms, Laurine Bailly capturing their reflections in the tall gilded mirrors that lined the hallway.

Sixty-seven guests gathered outdoors beneath Chateau de Robernier's pale stone facade for a spring ceremony framed by lavender-edged gravel and mature plane trees. Jeanette and Alessandro exchanged handwritten vows facing each other while a string of warm emotions passed through the crowd. The recessional erupted in cheers as the couple walked back through a corridor of applause.

Laurine Bailly photographed Jeanette across the chateau's ornate interiors, from crystal chandeliers and white marble fireplaces to the gravel driveway with the full limestone facade rising behind her. The structured silhouette of her gown held its shape against every backdrop, and a final series on the symmetrical front steps used the pale blue shutters and honey-gold stone as a graphic frame.

Golden hour bathed the gravel path in warm light as the couple walked toward the chateau, Alessandro in his white dinner jacket and Jeanette's gown catching the late spring sun. Laurine Bailly moved between wide garden compositions framed by cypress and olive trees and close-up portraits that isolated the couple against the Provencal landscape. A black-and-white series on an upholstered salon sofa closed the set with an intimate, quieter register.

The courtyard came alive under string lights as guests cheered the couple's entrance, tambourines raised high. Perche Giraud Traiteur served a seated dinner at long candlelit tables while ivy crept along the stone walls. Odysea kept the dance floor full late into the night, and a saxophone solo during cocktails beside the pool set the tone for the celebration that followed.

Maison Velvet Fleurs arranged sculptural centerpieces of blush peonies, garden roses, Queen Anne's lace, and viburnum that perfumed the courtyard tables. Crystal glassware and linen runners softened the long timber tabletops beneath string lights, and handwritten tambourine favors doubled as table art. The minimal white-and-green palette let the chateau's honey stone and candlelight carry the atmosphere.

Chateau de Robernier's golden limestone facade and pale blue shutters framed the celebration from every angle. An aerial golden-hour view revealed the terracotta rooftops, the symmetrical gravel drive, and the formal garden radiating outward from the entrance. The interior rooms with their checkered marble floors, damask walls, and crystal chandeliers provided a refined counterpoint to the open-air courtyard where dinner unfolded.
