A wedding at Domaines de Patras – Camille + Julien

In the middle of the lavender fields, lulled by the sound of cicadas, Camille and Julien met their loved ones in Drôme Provençale. In the magical setting of the Domaines de Patras (#bestplaceever), they brought their dream wedding to life. Refined, poetic and delicate as you wish!

With the beautiful images of Yeter Kurt Photography, they take us on a journey through their story…

Their meeting 

"At the Lausanne hotel school, in 2009. Enrolled in the same class, we very quickly forged very strong bonds. After more than 6 years of pure friendship, Camille finally made the first move..."

The marriage proposal

"At sunset, in the vineyards of Lavaux, overlooking Lake Geneva. This was the third attempt, Camille having unfortunately changed her plans at the last moment during the first two (yes, she is sometimes elusive)."

Wedding at the Domaines de Patras

"We had 3 selection criteria for our wedding venue: it had to be in the middle of nature, it had to be beautiful and authentic and above all, coming from Switzerland, we wanted a certain assurance that the weather would be nice and warm. So we visited about ten venues that met these criteria.

The Domains of Patras was our last visit, and it made us forget all the other places."

Wedding planning at Domaines de Patras

“Coming from a hospitality background through our studies, we organized everything ourselves. In our opinion, the organization is part of the wedding and it allows us to prolong the experience. We will not only remember the big day, but also the 12 months that preceded it.

It's clear that it requires a lot of work, but it allowed us to have a wedding that reflects us, down to the smallest details."

Wedding decoration

« Fairy flower took care of the flowers but we did everything else, with the help of our mothers, including the secular ceremony next to a lavender field."

The wedding budget

"The initial budget was far exceeded, but it was the price we had to pay to have the wedding of our dreams, without denying ourselves anything. And we have no regrets."

Their best memory 

"The secular ceremony was the most moving moment. Many tears and laughter, surrounded by our families and closest friends. This ceremony was led by the officiant Alexandra Baro who was exceptional. But above all it was the smiles on the faces of each guest, from the paella on Friday to the brunch on Sunday, that filled us with happiness and that we will keep as a best memory."

Advice from the newlyweds

• Be very organized and have a good team of witnesses to be able to let loose on the big day. You have to enjoy every moment because the weekend goes by very quickly.
• Choose providers as quickly as possible because the best ones are booked very quickly. Among these, you have to choose an excellent photographer because these are the wedding photos that will remain as a last memory in many years. On this subject, our photographer Yeter Kurt gave us absolutely stunning photos, all the while bending over backwards for us.
