Classic French Riviera Wedding

Few luxury wedding settings on the French Riviera capture the effortless beauty of the like Tiara Miramar Beach Hotel & Spa. For Alina and Pavel, a Russian couple living in London, the choice was deeply personal: Alina’s parents call the Riviera home, and they wanted a wedding that felt both romantic and rooted. The result was a three-day celebration filled with sunshine, sea views, and joy shared among family and friends. Set along the coast of Théoule-sur-Mer, 5-Star Seaside Hotel for weddings near Cannes offered the ideal backdrop 55 rooms overlooking the Mediterranean and the rare luxury of being fully privatized for the weekend. From the first toast to the final dip in the sea, every moment felt distinctly Riviera.

Ceremony

In the foreground, rows of dark wooden folding chairs are arranged facing a circular floral arch decorated with greenery and what appear to be pink and red flowers, positioned at the edge of a terrace overlooking the sea. To the right on an adjacent terrace level, round reception tables dressed in white linens are set up under a pergola structure, with guests or staff visible near them. The overall styling is classic with natural floral elements, set against a rocky coastline backdrop. Potential venue feature image.

When Alina first connected with Rock My Love, her excitement was infectious. The couple had just three months to plan their wedding  and eighty guests arriving from England and Russia. Through Skype calls, email threads, and shared Pinterest boards, the team coordinated every detail remotely. The Tiara Miramar became their coastal haven, offering both accommodation and the flexibility to host every part of the event in one place. The ceremony was held over the hotel’s pool, transformed into a platform that overlooked the open sea. Guests dined on a menu created by Fabrice Giraud, the hotel’s Head Chef, whose dishes showcased the best of southern French cuisine. The evening ended just before dawn, with guests and the couple diving into the sea fully dressed, laughter echoing over the waves.
