Cream Roses and Vineyard Gold at Chateau de Sannes, Provence

Chloe dressed in an Alma Real gown beside tall shuttered windows, the fluid ivory fabric catching soft directional light. The quiet ritual of getting ready felt genuinely unhurried, a mood that Laurine Bailly caught in available light without interference. Each frame held the warmth of a room not yet fully awake.

The vow renewal unfolded on the ceremony lawn as afternoon light filtered through lime trees, casting moving shadows across the aisle. Low floral arrangements in cream and sage flanked each row. Thomas Augier and second shooter Joffrey Wingrove flanked Laurine Bailly to capture the moment James turned before Chloe reached the walkway.

After the ceremony, the couple walked the vineyard rows in late-afternoon heat, vine leaves dry and aromatic underfoot. At the old mill, stone still warm from the day, Laurine Bailly worked in that particular quality of July light on pale stone. These portraits carry the texture of the Luberon landscape and the ease of two people who had already said their vows once and chose to mean them again.

Dinner moved to the terrace as the sky shifted from cobalt to indigo. Candles in hurricane lanterns caught the facets of Joli Bazaar glassware. Love is More Weddings timed every transition to the light, and the final hour, with the Luberon ridge dark against the last pink of the sky, closed with the calm rhythm of crickets and the clink of a coupe.

Joli Bazaar sand-toned stoneware sat on undyed ecru linen, while Be Lounge rattan chairs and curved settees lent the ease of a Provencal farmhouse. Arrosoir de Margaux centrepieces used garden roses, ivory-cream astilbe, and olive branch cuttings from the estate. Les Delices de Gladys created a four-tier buttercream cake pressed with fresh herbs and micro-flowers.

Precieux Papier calligraphy envelope seals sat alongside Joli Bazaar stoneware in sand and stone tones. A champagne-gold satin ribbon looped around letterpress-crisp ivory cards with hand-painted botanical borders. The composition read like a Provence market in miniature, warm chalk and sage against the cool weight of a crystal flute.

The formal parterres and shaded avenues of Chateau de Sannes create a natural sequence of ceremony lawn, olive grove, old mill, and terrace. The reflective pool mirrors the sky in that particular Provencal cerulean, and stone facades shift from pale gold at noon to amber as the sun drops behind the vineyard ridge.
