Fuchsia Blooms and Jewish Tradition at Domaine de Vignale, Corsica
Chelsea and Nick chose Domaine de Vignale in Corsica for a spring Jewish wedding with bold fuchsia florals and hora dancing. Photos by Vincent Pennachio.
Chelsea and Nick brought bold colour and Jewish tradition together for a vibrant spring celebration at Domaine de Vignale in a sun-drenched Corsican estate wedding destination in the South of France. Fuchsia peonies, a Corsican feast by Atelier du Chef, and a saxophone-fuelled party that ran until dawn turned the stone courtyard into a stage for nonstop dancing and heartfelt ritual.
Ceremony






Chelsea walked toward Nick along a flower-lined aisle as family gathered beneath the open Corsican sky. A close friend officiated the Jewish ceremony on the stone terrace of Domaine de Vignale, where the couple exchanged vows framed by the estate's warm rendered walls and teal shutters. The hora erupted immediately after, guests lifting the couple skyward on chairs in a rush of laughter and applause that set the tone for the entire evening.
Bridal Portraits






Vincent Pennachio captured Chelsea against Domaine de Vignale's weathered pink walls and turquoise doors, where climbing hot-pink roses created a vivid natural backdrop. Portraits moved between the olive grove and the courtyard, mixing colour and black-and-white frames. The warm spring light caught the structured bodice of her Watters gown as she paused on a gravel path flanked by mature olive trees.
Couple Portraits






The couple slipped through a vine-draped stone archway into the formal garden, where golden spring light filtered through palm and olive canopies. Vincent Pennachio alternated between wide garden compositions and tight details of Nick's coral boutonniere against his navy suit. A poolside portrait just before sunset caught their silhouettes reflected in the still water, closing the series with a quiet counterpoint to the ceremony's energy.
Bridal Party




Bridesmaids in flowing gowns flanked Chelsea on the manicured lawn while groomsmen stood in coordinated suits in front of the Provencal estate. Laughter carried across the garden as the group swapped poses beneath a towering pine, and a smaller portrait of Chelsea with her three bridesmaids against the blue shutters capped the series.
Reception






Dinner unfolded in the inner courtyard beneath candles and garlands of greenery, with round tables dressed in white linen and natural wood crossback chairs. Atelier du Chef prepared a traditional Corsican veal dish alongside a piece montee that the couple struck with a champagne bottle in a burst of laughter. A live saxophonist from Marinka Production wove through the crowd as dancing carried on until nearly four in the morning.
Design and Details






Fuchsia peonies, blush lisianthus, and deep magenta orchids by Langage des Fleurs burst from bud vases along the reception tables, their saturated spring palette popping against warm stone. A gold-framed welcome mirror stood on the lawn beside a seating chart displayed on tall glass panels, while the ground-level ceremony installation blended hot pink blooms with trailing greenery.
Flat Lays





Atelier Petit Papier's stationery suite paired sage green botanical wreaths with script calligraphy on cream card stock, arranged alongside Chelsea's powder blue satin platform heels. The rings from The Diamond Guys rested on a textured linen surface beside the invitation set, and a loosely gathered bridal bouquet in saturated pinks and corals completed the vignette.
Venue



Domaine de Vignale's cream-rendered walls, terracotta tiles, and mint-green louvered shutters were laced with climbing hot-pink roses that defined the estate's character. An aerial view revealed the full grounds: a rectangular pool, manicured lawns, and the stone outbuildings where cocktails flowed. The architecture provided a warm, textured stage for every moment of the celebration.
