Couture Wedding in Gordes
Gordes Couture: elegance reinvented in Provence
In a decidedly contemporary style, Provence Here, she reveals a new facet of her art of entertaining. GordesSuspended between sky and stone, time seems to stretch out to give way to a vision of marriage where luxury, modernity and emotion converse with rare precision.
At the initiative of Savina Uldry, an international wedding planner with a keen eye, this inspiration was conceived for Cranberries Gordes – La Bastide transcends traditional codes to offer a couture interpretation of a Provençal wedding. A masterful aesthetic, where every detail — from materials to lighting, from volumes to transparencies — celebrates excellence and craftsmanship in their most precious form.
Conceived as an immersive experience, this project brings together a constellation of international talents around a shared language: that of beauty, meaning, and emotion. All of this is enhanced by the delicate eye of Marion Co and the vibrant images of Laurent Rostaing.
A timeless interlude, a blend of sophistication and gentleness, which Savina elegantly unveils for us…
How did the initiative for this shooting come about?
“A great meeting with the Airelles team, discussions, sharing and a discovery of Cranberries Gordes – la Bastide, a sublime place. But also the desire to reveal the latest trends for future brides and grooms in this exceptional place.
An exclusive and contemporary project for Airelles Gordes The Bastide, a haven of beauty and history, located in the picturesque village of Gordes and one of the most beautiful regions of France: the Lubéron.
La Bastide offers you a breathtaking view of the valley. You will find the beauty of the South, its lights and its exceptional landscapes. It is in this lush setting that Savina de All you need about wanted to offer another vision of this timeless place by adding a more couture and modern touch.
The location of the photoshoot in Provence
“Since the pandemic, many brides and grooms have chosen a wedding destination that is easily accessible by plane, train or car for their guests, for a long weekend in the South. Provence and the Luberon region offer an exceptional setting with a mild climate, typical scents of the South; a real invitation to beautiful escapes, where life is good and where time stands still.
Cranberries Gordes – La Bastide is a timeless, authentic, refined place in the heart of the Luberon.
A unique place nestled on a cliff overlooking one of the most beautiful villages in France.
The shooting team
“For this editorial shoot, Savina de All you need about selected talent providers to singular universes, in France and internationally, in order to create a unique project with luxury codes in this Provençal jewel.
Creative alchemy and teamwork gave birth to a Timeless Romance.”
The scenography of the luxury wedding inspiration in Gordes
“For the set design, Savina worked on a contemporary, luxury and authentic artistic direction, with natural, noble materials and some markers of French know-how.
The color palette revolved mainly around the White, pure and deep, embellished with plays of transparencies and shades of champagne, beige and gold. A very trendy colorimetry in the world of fashion, notably in the latest collection “Le Papier” by the designer Jaquemus.
The terrace of Airelles Gordes, with its majestic stones, its light and its lush vegetation, was the ideal location for an exceptional dinner, with this interminable royal table and its modern arched layout.
Table decoration was designed in a chic and timeless way, as if illuminating this green setting… with white linen tablecloths, porcelain, cut crystal glasses, transparent chairs inspired by the famous Philippe Starck and a touch of gold brought by the cutlery and stationery. Add to that a view overlooking the Provençal nature and time stands still.
For the flowers, the florist has carefully selected noble seasonal flowers in the shades of the palette, worked like true pieces of art to bring movement, volume and modernity.
At the level of stationery Claire of CMO Studio has developed a custom stationery around a monochrome white on pure cotton creative paper, using luxurious printing techniques such as inkless embossing and satin gold hot stamping.
Finally, to cut to the chase, the Welcome Dinner was imagined from another angle: "Al fresco", where opulence and conviviality reign. The vibrant colors associated with the house's tableware ginori 1735 helped create a table of memorable character.
