Chateaux or castles are a great choice for a wedding in France. These are suitable for a romantic bride and groom couple who want a dream wedding. Also, a chateau for the wedding location is a great place for amazing wedding photos. You can do your bridal preparations, the reception but also the wedding party in one place. The wedding photographer from Provence will be pleased that he doesn’t have to travel from one location to another. Also, your guests will remember this location without a doubt. Chateaux are some of the best wedding venues in Provence, France, but they are also very popular. English wedding planner based in Aix-en-Provence and Uzes providing a very personalised service for couples wishing to celebrate their marriages in southern France. A Wedding in Provence follows Alexandra, a young woman who is desperately trying to avoid the life expected of her by her relations. When a chance encounter gives her the option to work as a nanny she jumps at the opportunity. But, the job is in a chateau in rural Provence, with 3 children to look after, no experience and a very attractive Count; can Alexandra forge her own path? Following on from A Wedding in the Country where three young women, Lizzie, Alexandra and Meg, meet on a cookery course and become firm friends, A Wedding in Provence is Alexandra’s story. A chance meeting in Paris leads to her being employed as a nanny to three French children who live in a chateau in Provence. Their father is absent a lot of the time, and their mother left many years before, so they present her with a bit of a challenge to say the least. However, Alexandra is a capable and resourceful young woman and, despite disapproval from almost everyone she meets, gradually gains the children’s trust. Her relationship with them is the main focus of the story, with the romance almost taking second place. When it comes to location, the Chateau is placed within the centre of a sweet little village that your guests can easily visit and stay within. It is 35 mins from Carcassonne and 90 minutes from Toulouse, so easily accessed via car from the airport.
Location, location, location. This can make the difference between a modern or rustic wedding. Think about the wedding of your dreams. Where does the wedding take place? It’s a beach wedding in the South of France or a modern wedding at a well-known hotel venue? For sure the location makes the difference. Not very eager to take this route, she jumps at the chance to stay in gay Paree for a little longer when a temporary job offer comes up, but it ends up in Provence, as a nanny, rather than something more glamorous. She finds herself in a chateau, looking after three children, unaided, two of which aren't keen to have her there, with a grandmerè who doesn't feel she is qualified, an estranged mother of said children, who wants to whisk the children away, and a friendly dog. Claire has been recognized as one of the top wedding photographers in Europe and her work has appeared in Vogue, Style Me Pretty, Love My Dress, French Wedding Style and many more well-known publications.She finds herself looking after a teenage girl, a not much younger brother and adopted much younger sister. The teenage daughter is not best pleased she's there! Then comes along the prim and proper granmere followed by the children's estranged mother who both insisit the new nanny is not suitable and the children should be sent to boarding school in England leaving behind their adopted sister.
Cookery school-trained, with ‘colloquial and rustic’ French, Alexandra is to take charge of le Comte’s – Antoine’s – three children in a chateau in Provence for a month. Orphaned herself at a young age and ‘supervised’ from afar by relations living in Switzerland, Alexandra has always fended for herself in the family home in London. Now she has to care for children who view her ‘with a mixture of hostility, resentment and defiance’. Where is her favourite spot to get married in Provence? She says it’s too hard to choose. Although the area around Gordes, near Aix-en-Provence and Avignon, all get top marks.It also left me feeling a little uncomfortable when Alexandra was assessing men for their suitability as suiters and that she should prefer this one instead of that one because her's closer in age, Perhaps it was something that women did in the sixties? Look at men as potential husbands? As the sun sets, head inside to discover the reception room and the evening's decorations under the great masterful vaults. The chef Adrien Brunet creates a unique menu, between exceptional dishes and the unavoidable pièce montée. A generous and refined cuisine prepared from the best local products. After dinner, the hotel's DJ will keep you dancing until the end of the night. I'd absolutely recommend this book to anyone and everyone, whether you're a romance lover or not, read Katie's books.' Also, please tell me I’m not the only one that was getting all The Sound of Music vibes? Hello Captain Von Trapp aka Antoine! *sighs* (again!) It’s the whole saying so much without saying anything, isn’t it? Hello to The Look! Words are so underrated! Waiting for her inside is three silent, rather hostile children who are to be her charges for the next month.
