Terracotta Florals and Vineyard Gold at Chateau les Crostes, Provence
Pauline and Raphael's September wedding at Chateau les Crostes near Lorgues, Provence. Terracotta florals, Mila Nova silk gown, 56 photos by Rodriguez Wedding.
Seven years after meeting through family and work, Pauline and Raphael shaped a celebration at Chateau les Crostes, a sun-drenched vineyard wedding estate in Provence that blended Provencal warmth with Italian-inspired details. Wed'Love Events orchestrated every transition from church ceremony to open-air dinner, while Rodriguez Wedding captured the vineyard light and terracotta palette across the day.

Kim Coirre handled makeup and Aurelie styled hair in the chateau's upper rooms, morning light filtering through tall shuttered windows in long pale bars. Pauline's Mila Nova gown in ivory silk hung against stone, its structured bodice and pooling skirt catching every shift in the diffused glow. The glam team kept the palette warm-toned and precise, a soft terracotta eye and loosely dressed hair with a few strands left to move freely.

The church ceremony in Lorgues filled a cool stone nave with filtered gold light as the saxophonist played guests to their seats, the instrument's resonance carrying something both celebratory and tender. Pauline walked forward and the vows echoed through the space, the sound lingering against old walls long after the words were spoken.

Rodriguez Wedding led Pauline into the olive grove where broken silver light fell through the branches. The silk of her gown whispered against dry grass, and the burnt-ochre landscape behind her made the ivory fabric seem almost luminous. These images carry the quality of something remembered rather than staged, saturated and still.

Rodriguez Wedding pulled the pair away as the last light left the sky, that brief purple-blue interval particular to September in Provence. Vineyard rows stretched behind them, the chateau glowing warm amber in the background, and Raphael turned Pauline into the final frames with the easy weight of a very good day behind them.

Wake Up DJ shifted the evening from gentle to genuinely joyful as dinner gave way to open-air dancing beneath a sky still holding the last Provence sunset. Les 2 Toques had catered the meal with confident Provencal simplicity. Tristan Perraud-Ussel filmed the room with a lightness of touch that matched the mood, catching Raphael's jacket coming off and Pauline's dress moving brilliantly on the floor.

Design by C France dressed the dinner tables in warm linen between sand and champagne, with low arrangements of copper-toned garden roses, dried grasses, and clusters of dark burgundy fig built by Jackie Flore Grasse. Sonorisation 83 washed the courtyard in warm amber light as dusk settled, and candles filled every surface with votives, tapers, and small hurricane lanterns.
Flat Lays

The flat lay palette traced terracotta, blush apricot, and deep burnt sienna, connecting directly to the couple's Seville proposal. Dried pampas sat beside Pauline's nude satin Jimmy Choo pumps, and the letterpress invitation suite carried the same warmth pressed into cream card with the faintest texture.

Vineyards press right up to the stone walls at Chateau les Crostes, and in mid-September the vines carried that particular dusty-gold colour between amber and old parchment. The estate gave the couple olive groves for portraits, a sunlit courtyard for arrivals, and shaded terraces where afternoon air moved through rosemary and lavender.
