A French-Australian Wedding at Hotel Belles Rives in Antibes

A Two-Day Wedding Celebration on the French Riviera

This French-Australian wedding in Antibes was imagined as a two-day celebration, blending Mediterranean elegance with a more free-spirited atmosphere. On the French Riviera, they gathered family and friends from Australia, New Zealand, England and France to celebrate together. Two distinct days, designed to create space for both emotion and celebration.

A Religious Ceremony and Reception at Hotel Belles Rives

The first day began with a religious ceremony in a family church, a place filled with meaning and personal history. The bride wore a dress she had chosen with her father, adding a deeply emotional layer to the moment. The celebration continued at Hotel Belles Rives in Antibes, an iconic venue on the French Riviera. Facing the sea, the soft evening light accompanied heartfelt speeches and the first moments of the celebration. An elegant and intimate wedding, with a palette of blue, white and subtle touches of lemon.

A Vibrant Second Day in a Family Property

The following day brought a completely different energy. Hosted at their family home, the celebration took on a more immersive and festive tone. Inspired by their love for desert festivals in the United States, this second day was all about freedom and shared experiences. Champagne tower, performances, music and dancing created a vibrant and joyful atmosphere where guests fully embraced the moment.

Between Roots and Movement

This wedding reflects both their story and their way of life. A balance between strong family ties and an international life shaped by travel. Every detail, from intimate moments to collective celebration, was designed to create meaningful memories. A wedding about being present, embracing life and celebrating it fully, together.
