Couture wedding with mineral notes
A couture wedding with mineral accents in Provence
A play on textures, clean lines and contemporary elegance: this wedding inspiration explores a couture aesthetic, mineral and resolutely modern. Conceived as a raw yet sophisticated painting, this editorial comes to life in the heart of Provence, in a setting of natural textures and assertive architecture.
This project was initiated by... Chloe Tresdoi of the agency You & C, Surrounded by Ayata Weddings and The Workshop Event, brought together a creative team to give birth to a strong vision, where concrete dialogues with silk, and where modernity enhances the timeless.
Through the sensitive and graphic images of Ayata Weddings, the team reveals the behind-the-scenes of this inspiration conceived as a stylistic statement, between controlled audacity and couture refinement.

What is the genesis of this wedding inspiration?
Celia, photographer at Ayata Weddings and Andrea, Wedding designer of the'Event Workshop thought together about creating a mineral and modern shooting for many months.
They then presented me with the project and their ideas so that we could assemble a creative and motivated team to carry out the photoshoot. They already had a couple on board, and we wanted the project to get off the ground fairly quickly. So we organized it in two and a half months.
The Glauges Valley
We chose the Vallon des Glauges For its modernity, clean lines, and textures with its stone and concrete walls and large bay window. This raw aesthetic immediately appealed to us and perfectly matched the spirit of the shoot and the materials we were going to use.
The shooting team
Photography and Scenography
The photoshoot was therefore initiated by Célia de Ayata Weddings and Andrea of theWorkshop Event who were able to completely convince me with their inspirations.
Stationery
From there, Elena de Two Made One studio based in Paris joined us with her modern and refined stationery and signs. She submitted several ideas to us and we did a lot of work in collaboration with Andréa the wedding designer on the choice of shapes, colors and materials.
Catering and wedding cake
Subsequently, we wanted to integrate a caterer into the team, Perche & Giraud Catering located in Bandol for its refined cuisine. On the culinary side, we also wanted a different wedding cake that would remain in the spirit of the shooting. So we submitted some inspirations to Gladys des Gladys' Delights who made us a great square cake decorated with airy decorative elements that made a connection with the chosen dress.
Wedding outfits
On this subject, we discussed a lot about the choice of the dress. Something modern, smooth with a touch of haute couture was essential for us. So I approached the boutique Sonia B in Marseille and was received by Jean-Pierre the manager and his team who were fabulous and were able to offer us the Vicky model from Milla Nova. Jean Pierre also offered us with his shop Men's Ceremony Space, a black suit with its accessories. All the elements were of great quality and the team took great care of us.
Flowers
Charlotte from Flowers and Twig also joined the team because we were all total fans of his floral arrangements and work.
Beauty
We already had a couple used to taking photos together in real life. Elodie Sellito, makeup artist and hairdresser, knew how to enhance the female model with natural and refined makeup as well as hairstyle.
Accessories, Video and Champagne
- Other providers have joined the team such as Lima House with its minimalist and very original jewelry. Florian Puech a lovely and responsive service provider who offered us a teaser of the shooting.
- We also had the opportunity to have some great shoes Jimmy Choo as well as bottles of Champagne from the Producer Marc Dominated in order to make this champagne cascade during the shooting with the glasses of Lunch Service Location.
We had a shared discussion group so we could all exchange ideas and desires to ensure that this photoshoot allowed everyone to express themselves and give their opinion. Everyone involved was incredible and very kind.

The artistic direction
For the set design, Andréa de l'Event Workshop worked on a very detailed moodboard with the desired colors, the materials used and the elements to highlight. We therefore made all our choices around this moodboard to have a real unity and that everything is totally linked. We wanted contrast, concrete, mineral elements while keeping this very side elegant et refined.
We wanted to set up a concrete table, which was difficult to find. So I rolled up my sleeves and made a completely polished concrete table so that Andrea could use all her creativity on the big day with the tableware she had chosen and Charlotte's floral arrangements.
