Calla Lilies and Dove-Grey Linen at Demeure du Siecle, Cap Ferret
Marion and Ludo's spring elopement at Demeure du Siecle, Cap Ferret. Calla lilies, dove-grey linen, Atlantic light. 43 photos by Paulineh Photographe.
Marion and Ludo's spring elopement at Demeure du Siecle stripped everything back to essentials: calla lilies, dove-grey linen, and the quiet rhythm of the Atlantic. Set above the Arcachon Basin in Cap Ferret, this coastal elopement destination in Nouvelle-Aquitaine paired minimalist design with the raw beauty of France's Atlantic shoreline.
Bridal Portraits



On the wooden terrace above the water, Marion wore a two-piece ivory outfit by Ana des Cabanasses: a chiffon off-shoulder top paired with a fitted crepe skirt. She carried trailing white orchids while jewellery from Zephyrade kept the look architectural and clean. Lola Guilhem styled her hair in loose waves that caught the Atlantic breeze as the basin stretched silver behind her.
Couple Portraits





Paulineh Photographe worked in wide frames that gave the Arcachon Basin room to breathe and close frames that caught the private exchanges: a hand held, a glance returned, the way Marion and Ludo stood together as light shifted from gold to grey. The dunes and pine-lined shore provided a natural backdrop that needed nothing added.
Reception






Dinner unfolded on the west-facing terrace as the basin turned from silver to deep indigo. A rectangular table dressed in dove-grey linen held Eloise Dubois Ceramiques vessels in off-white and warm stone, with slim brass column lamps and clear-glass hurricanes casting low light across the surface. A croquembouche tower of choux sat at the centre, the single vertical gesture in an otherwise horizontal scene.
Design and Details






The palette translated Cap Ferret's coastline into every surface: chalk, ivory, warm taupe, and dune green. Dahlia Monamour and Semeur Cueilleur built structural arrangements of white calla lilies and arching grasses. Eloise Dubois Ceramiques provided hand-thrown vessels shaped like smoothed pebbles. Stationery by L'atelier M sat on pale linen beside gold bands and a single clipped calla lily, and Noemie Lbj2a's direction held throughout: cool neutrals, natural texture, deliberate space.
