Surrounded by hills, cypress trees and olive groves Domaine de La Vene is a dreamy location for a beautiful, relaxed, Mediterranean style wedding.

The wedding weekend started with a welcome party by the pool. Adam and Archie asked all their guests to wear a white outfit, surprising everyone by appearing in black themselves. With local wine, cheese and olives they couldn’t have a better introduction to the French Rivera lifestyle.

The ceremony took place on the grands of the villa, with a breathtaking view of the hilly landscape and a private lake. Decorated with white peonies, roses and hydrangeas ceremony arch and the aisle gave the place an opulent and romantic look.

Following the cocktail hour by the pool, the guests were welcome at the tables. Dining outside in the wild garden they had the best experience of French summer night. The local chef prepared specialities such as seasonal vegetable raviolis, crab cakes and foie gras.

The evening finished with dancing under the stars to the music played by a British famous radio DJ.
