Provence wedding in a castle – Coco + Sukru

It was September 15th. Courtney is American, Sukru is Turkish. Both live in Brooklyn, NYC. When they decide to get married, Provence stands out as a delicious obviousnessHalfway between the United States and Turkey, it will be the perfect place to bring their Guests 50They fell under the spell of the Château de Grimaldi, not far from Aix-en-Provence, and called on the great team Of love and decoration to assist them in organizing and decorating their wedding.

With the beautiful images of Pinewood Weddings, the team tells us…

“Courtney contacted us 10 months before her wedding, despite the language barrier, we hit it off straight away, her personality is incredibly endearing.”

Wedding planning and decoration

"It was our first wedding where we had to manage the organization in addition to the decoration and flowers. We could not imagine not being surrounded by the best professionals with whom we are used to working and in whom we have blind trust. Amandine from Citron Pavot and Marie from Marie's scissors followed us without hesitation and we thank them again!! 

One day Courtney sent me an email to ask me what I imagined for the flowers, I showed her 2 photos, she replied: " I won't tell you about it anymore, we are on the same wavelength.". We had carte blanche!!! I can tell you that in these cases we really want to please, so we filled the truck to the ceiling!!!"

Provencal wedding in a castle

“On D-Day, we had to bounce back with some unforeseen furniture issues and the estate caretaker was great in lending us a hand. Our great pride is that the bride and groom didn't notice anything on the big day."

A memory

“If I had to remember just one thing? When Courtney kisses you, she really kisses you with her arms and with a lot of gentleness and kindness. IIt had been a long time since I cried at a wedding, but his hugs, his gift in tribute to his grandfather and his little note got the better of my emotion... There was a before and after this marriage."

The married couple's council

“Give your wedding designer free rein!!”

"Coco and Sukru contacted us on November 17, 2017, 10 months before their wedding date. We immediately had an incredible feeling, all their ideas resonated."

Relationships with the bride and groom

"Everything was done with respect and listening, Coco and Sukru gave us great creative freedom. They told us right away that they were fans of our work, photos and films, and that they had total confidence in our know-how. An incredible luxury for the creatives that we are. They wanted to receive our advice regarding the timing of the big day, so we built this day together, without stress and with time for everyone. Coco and Sukru validated all our suggestions, it was so fabulous to work in these conditions."

Your vision of Coco + Sukru's wedding

"We will keep a light memory of this beautiful day. Coco and Sukru let go from our meeting until the big day, which allowed us to focus on the essentials. We particularly like small weddings of foreign brides and grooms. The guests are on vacation in a sublime place, the atmosphere is always very jovial and relaxed. In the end, everything was as we had imagined. Except Coco's look which was an incredible surprise. We loved it!!!"

Marie's scissors, the beauty treatment 

“When Coco contacted me, her message really touched me. She told me that she was a designer and that my work was done with an artistic touch that matched her expectations. I was committed to another wedding, I submitted another service provider to my bride, I absolutely had to meet this person.

During the test, the feeling was immediately there because Coco is a woman who emanates a lot of love and generosity. She is a deep person.
When I saw her dress and headdress, I realized how lucky I was to be able to do her beauty. She is one of my favorite brides from an artistic and human point of view.

I loved his thank you gift of maple syrup in a beautiful bottle, the same gift for his guests and a lovely little personalized note. This maple syrup, in tribute to his grandfather who had created this company so that he could be present on this big day.

Thank you life for this beautiful encounter.

Lemon Poppy, the caterer

"Courtney and Sukru contacted me about 9 months before their wedding date. I was already in contact with several couples at that point but they absolutely wanted to work with me and signed before even receiving a first proposal! The energy and good vibes were already there, we were meant to work together."

Relationships with the bride and groom

“The preparations went very well. Courtney is the perfect client, we exchanged regularly and Sukru spoke with me about the drinks part. I can’t count the number of times I’ve collaborated with Vanessa D’amour et de déco – who is also my friend – and working with a team that you like makes the organization easier.”
Your vision of Coco + Sukru's wedding

“The day went wonderfully, everything was beautiful. What an emotion when we discovered Courtney ready for the ceremony, she was breathtaking. Marie did a remarkable job.
The decoration was superb and the Pinewood weddings friends were there to immortalize this wonderful day. What more could you ask for?

Courtney trusted me from A to Z on the menu and the flow of the dinner. It was a real pleasure to have carte blanche."

A detail that you will remember from this wedding at the Château de Grimaldi

“It’s hard to remember just one thing from this wedding!
As a service provider I would say Courtney's iconic headdress, which made her a very popular bride on social media!
On a personal level, I would remember her gentleness, her trust and the bonds we have created. We are still in touch. This wedding is in the top 3 of my favorite weddings.
