Lilac and Buttercup Florals at Domaine de Lamanon, Alpilles

Lise and Tom's garden wedding at Domaine de Lamanon in the Alpilles. Lilac, pink, and yellow florals by Les Nanas Studio. 40 photos by Cleya…

Lise and Tom's celebration at Domaine de Lamanon, an authentic Provencal wedding estate in the Alpilles leaned into garden colour: lilac, chartreuse, buttercup yellow, and rose petal pink through every arrangement and linen. Captured by Cleya Asulon, an editorial wedding photographer in Provence, the day unfolded across stone terraces and olive groves at a garden wedding destination in Provence.

A couple portrait taken outdoors on a gravel driveway lined with tall cypress trees, suggesting a French or Mediterranean-style property. The bride wears a white halter-neck flowing gown with a cathedral-length veil, drop earrings, and has an visible back tattoo; she holds a small bouquet of blush and light pink roses. The groom wears a slim-fit sand-beige suit with black leather shoes and no tie. The two face each other closely, smiling, with the bride's hand resting on the groom's neck. The composition is a full-length portrait shot with the cypress-lined path receding into the background, giving the image depth. © Cleya Asulon

Cleya Asulon caught the precise second Tom turned around during the first look, shoulders slightly dropped, a half-exhale, as Lise appeared in her Alma Real gown. The final portraits came as the last line of indigo settled over the Alpilles, the couple backlit by the warm spill of courtyard light. Lise had her head tilted back and Tom had his hand at her waist, the whole frame holding the rain, flowers, and laughter in a single image.

One continuous table set for all guests stretched beneath the evening sky in Domaine de Lamanon's inner courtyard. Taper candles in terracotta holders cast a flickering amber-rose light once dusk arrived, and Les Nanas Studio Floral centrepieces dropped lower as the evening progressed so sightlines stayed open. The wedding cake by Les Delices de Gladys, tiers in textured vanilla buttercream with pressed edible flowers, sat on a marble slab at the table's end.

Les Nanas Studio Floral built arrangements of ranunculus in champagne and pale apricot, sweet peas in lilac and violet, trailing jasmine, and bursts of acid-yellow craspedia. Tablecloths in washed dusty rose linen layered over ivory undercloths, with iridescent glassware throwing small rainbows across the stone surface. Stationery by Koklyqo arrived hand-lettered in sage ink on cotton-rag stock with botanical motifs in soft marigold and blush.
