A wedding at the Patras estates – Camille + Thibault

It is always such a pleasure to return to the Patras Estates, even virtually. I love this authentic place that smells of Provence so much. And it's no secret that its owners are little loves on legs who welcome you like at home. For Camille and Thibault, it was love at first sight. And to make their wedding perfect, they chose each professional with care and taste. A team that completely sublimated this beautiful day filled with love and emotion.

With the beautiful images of Fanny Tiara Photography, Camille tells us more…

The initial meeting

"We met in an English law firm on the Champs-Elysées in June 2011. A year later, we found ourselves, somewhat by chance, in a university in the United States where we came to study. From that moment on, we became inseparable…

The marriage proposal

“May 6, 2016, on a beach in Oman. We had planned a ten-day trip to Oman to unwind after long months of work in our respective law firms. The last evening, during a romantic dinner on the beach, Thibault proposed to me…an unforgettable memory!”

Wedding at the Domaines de Patras

“We had a hard time choosing our wedding venue. We live in Paris but Camille grew up in Asia. Thibault wanted to have our wedding in Arcachon, where he spent many family holidays, and Camille wanted to have the wedding in Bali, a magical island where her parents have a big house.

We finally decided on a region where we had no family ties, Provence. We came across an authentic place, full of charm that we immediately liked a lot: the Domaines de Patras.

Wedding planning

“We planned our wedding ourselves. Our parents advised us but in the end, we found the venue, the photographer, the caterer, the chapel, the decorator, the videographer and everything else on our own. We chose everything, down to the smallest detail. Fortunately, our family and especially our parents were very attentive to our ideas.

I won't hide from you that Kéty and Eric Breda, the owners of Domaines de Patras, as well as our decorator Antoinette (Fleurs de Fée) were also a very valuable help! Our photographer Fanny Tiara, our videographer Cédrick from Sensor of Emotion, the caterer (La Vallergue) and all the people we carefully chose were a great help and incredibly professional. They were all also key people in the organization of the wedding and without whom nothing would have gone so well.

We can never thank enough all the people who supported us so much for this event."

Wedding decoration

“The Domaines de Patras have a crazy charm but I wanted to move away from the “country wedding” decoration that I had seen and seen again on social networks. It must be said that the place lends itself particularly to it!

Kéty advised us to contact Antoinette Martin, who was particularly responsible for the floral design for our wedding. We talked a lot about my vision of our wedding, which we wanted to be simple but elegant, more "floral" than "plant-like" and exclusively with white roses and peonies. Antoinette was very attentive to our desires, wishes and preferences. Antoinette was a particularly important help in managing the decoration, which is a very time-consuming project."

Our best memory

"This is a difficult question, but I would say perhaps the emotion when entering the church. It took a lot of self-control to contain my tears."

Your advice

"This wonderful day goes by so quickly. Enjoy every little moment of this exceptional time. In the last days, you don't have to worry about little details anymore.

Our advice: surround yourself with the right people. Trust your family, your witnesses, photographer, caterer, decorator to take the load off your shoulders. You have to have confidence and learn to communicate your vision and wishes.
