The ceremony took place on a manicured lawn terrace framed by ivy-covered stone architecture and topiary. Wooden Chiavari chairs with white cushions lined the aisle as the couple exchanged vows in the open air. From the hanging terrace, the view reached across the Luberon Mountains past olive groves to the terracotta rooftops of the village below.

As night fell, fairy lights overhead transformed the stone courtyard while the village of Gordes illuminated behind the tables. Alexandra Weddings managed every transition with quiet precision as the meal moved from local truffles and seafood to regional wines. Live bands Dakota and Jazzmood carried the evening. Coupe glasses were filled from a champagne service as guests circulated freely.
