Pastel Garden Celebration at Château de Tourreau in Provence

Daphne and Sebbe’s wedding at Château de Tourreau, a luxury wedding chateau with luxury accommodation blended the ease of a Provençal summer with the energy of a long-awaited celebration. After years of traveling to France together, they chose to return with seventy of their closest friends and family to mark the next chapter of their story. With House of Luce leading the weekend, every detail unfolded with understated precision across the luxury Provence wedding castle’s courtyards and lawns. Amanda Drost’s vivid, true-to-color photography captured both the grandeur of the setting and the intimacy of the moments a celebration defined not by formality, but by feeling, light, and connection.

Wedding Inspiration

Design Notes: French Garden Palette and Effortless Style

The ceremony balanced intimacy and joy, taking place beneath soft Provençal light in front of an open aisle surrounded by friends and family. The floral design followed a French-garden palette blush, lavender, butter yellow, and powder blue woven through with garden roses, delphinium, sweet peas, and peonies. Guests watched from shaded rows as petals drifted through the air, laughter mingled with emotion, and vows felt natural and true. House of Luce’s direction kept everything unhurried, allowing space for moments to unfold organically while Amanda Drost moved fluidly between close details and wide estate views, preserving the vibrant, airy tone of the day.

Captured by Amanda Drost and Planned by House of Luce

As evening fell, the celebration shifted into the courtyard for dinner - a single long table running the length of Château de Tourreau’s façade. The setting glowed in the same gentle tones: blush linens, hand-painted plates, and tall tapers shimmering above low floral arrangements. House of Luce, one of the trusted wedding planners in the South of France, guided a seamless flow from heartfelt speeches to the first dance and on into the night. Amanda Drost, among the admired wedding photographers in Provence, captured it all in luminous motion - the laughter, the sparkle of glass under string lights, and the slow rhythm of a summer night that lingered well past midnight.
