Perched high above the Mediterranean, the couple exchanges vows at the breathtaking Villa et Jardins Ephrussi de Rothschild on the French Riviera. The historic pink palace, nestled between Nice and Monaco and surrounded by nine lush gardens, evokes the romance of an Italian palazzo with sweeping coastal views. Known as one of the most beautiful palaces along the Riviera, it set the tone for a wedding day drenched in color.
Bright, bold hues painted every moment. Bridesmaids embraced the spirit of the South of France in a mix of vibrant dresses, creating a joyful spectrum of color against the villa’s soft blush facade. In the venue’s enchanting French Garden, framed by cascading waterfalls and serene ponds, the couple exchanged vows surrounded by lush florals in vivid pink, crisp white, and fresh green.
The bride made her grand entrance in a classic Oscar de la Renta gown, its timeless silhouette a refined contrast to the day’s exuberant palette. As guests transitioned to the reception, the colorful design story unfolded in full. Long, family-style tables were layered with striking arrangements in bold shades of yellow and orange, accented with moss balls and thoughtful touches of green and pink that brought texture and dimension to the setting.
Following the dinner, the couple gathered loved ones for a Champagne toast beside their towering five-tier white wedding cake, a moment equal parts celebratory and elegant. As the evening deepened, glittering fireworks illuminated the Riviera sky, reflecting over the Mediterranean in a dazzling finale.
