Do you know what a wedding floral designer’s dream is? Absolute consecration? The best reward? When a bride contacts you from the other side of the world and gives you carte blanche for her wedding in the Cévennes.

This is exactly what happened with Grace, who beyond embodying her first name better than any dictionary definition, shared my eco-friendly philosophy. As long as all the flowers were local, the color didn't matter to her, she saw that the natural style that I love to offer as much as possible in my compositions - English garden design - corresponded to her desires.

So I went through Marieke from Fleurs du Mas exclusively and completed with a little picking, especially for the bridal bouquet: a cascade of wild clematis. Grace would have wanted jasmine but it was no longer the season, clematis was ideal to meet her desire for small white flowers and to match the incredible embroidered lace veil she wore.

On the reception side, the garden-style floral arrangements could not have found a more beautiful setting than the garden of Maison Odette in the village of Aulas, a dream location for a wedding in the Cévennes, where the guests were led by an orchestra as they left the small church.
