And they said "I do"...!
.
Last week, we had the pleasure of revisiting beautiful France, and this time for a special occasion indeed. A lovely young woman and a fabulous young man were going to "tie the knot" in a setting so stunning, the word breath-taking seems a feeble adjective to do it justice...
I did not attend the wedding personally, but joined the joyous crowd the following day, as the celebrations continued... (hence the slightly bent signs after the thunderstorms during the night).
I have been to this gorgeous home at the foothill of the Pyrenees before, but never has it looked more stunning than it did last weekend, so beautifully decorated for the special event and with the air scented not only with rose petals and lavender, but with so much love and happiness that it nearly made me tipsy.
(Please click on the horizontal images, to see the whole image - you only see a cropped version otherwise.)
There, next to the house and wrapped in flowers, bunting and romance,
lies the old barn, and what better place to ....
...say "I do" than on the second floor with this view?!
The trees were filled with (- I believe - ) sun powered lights, and I can only imagine the magical atmosphere that must have reigned here at night...
If only walls and doors could speak... what stories would they share?
(As mentioned before, please click on the horizontal images to see the whole image.)
A large marquee hosted the dinner...
... and even the day after, the laughter, the speeches, the music and the tears of joy,
could still be heard as faint whispers inside the deserted party tent...
As the clearing up of the party tent began, the flowers having adorned each table in the marquee,
were gathered on the tables by the pool. (No, the table is not levitating!)
Fluffy clouds of gyp hugging roses that looked good enough to eat...!
Thank you, B and S, for letting me share some of the decorations on your special day -
I wish you all the best for a wonderful life as husband and wife!
Love,
Helena
Ps, Thank you so much for all of your kind comments and emails, and hello all new readers!
Dear Helena,
ReplyDeleteit lokks like a neverending dream. Wonderful!
Vilket drömbröllop det måste ha varit! Så ljuvliga dina bilder är och de gör förstås det hela rättvisa! Du kan ju verkligen fånga den rätta stämningen!
ReplyDeleteÅh, så vackert och romantiskt!
Kram

A beautiful set of photographs Helena. The floating florals against that magnificent backdrop could not have been placed more magically. What a wonderful opportunity to visit the day after the ceremony with the romance and occasion still fresh in the air.
ReplyDeleteNydelige bilder, skjønn stemning og det er et nydelig område. Jeg har bodd et år ved foten av Pyreneene og fikk en veldig lengsel til å reise tilbake av disse bildene. Det er så frodig og grønt - tordenstormer er jo veldig vanlig der og ofte så er det et skikkelig lysshow over fjellene.
ReplyDeleteHej Helena,
ReplyDeleteÅhå, en tripp till Frankrike är ju inte helt fel. Grattis till brudparet. Ser ut att ha varit en magisk kväll och dagen-efter-partyt minst lika fint! Tänk om man kunde dekorera sådär vackert i sin egen trädgård (utan att riskera att det blåser och regnar sönder..) och ha ett mysigt garden-party en augusti-kväll. Oh well, keep dreaming.. :)
Många kramar Sanna
Oh my that just looks perfect! Love the vintage feel to it and the flowers and table settings look gorgeous. Your photos really do it justice!

ReplyDeleteHelena, wonderful photos again and again. You have a hand and a heart for finding the best views to let us share the moments. I thought you were in Sweden right now...so I didn´t write... Hopefully tomorrow I´ll find more time and you´ll get mail ;-)

This is what weddings should look like - a beautiful simplicity and oodles of romance. A very lucky couple.
ReplyDeleteVilket romantiskt sagobröllop!!! Med en sådan ljuvlig och själfull miljö kan det nog inte bli finare. Så läckert med de hängande solcellslamporna också. Effektfullt på kvällen förstår jag. Å underbara blommor. Helt perfekt. Känner lavendeldoften ända hit :-))
ReplyDeleteStooor kram!!
