A dream between lavender and French charm

A Provençal-style wedding is an ode to sweetness: pastel colors, rustic details, the scent of lavender, and a light elegance that enchants. Born as an evolution of shabby chic, the Provençal style combines French sophistication and bucolic simplicity , perfect for romantic couples dreaming of an outdoor wedding in Tuscany, immersed in the scents and colors of nature.

Perfect locations for a Provençal wedding in Tuscany

The charm of Southern France meets the authentic beauty of the Tuscan countryside: the Val d'Orcia, Chianti, and the hills of Siena are the ideal backdrop for an open-air ceremony. The perfect locations? Ranches, farmhouses, estates surrounded by greenery, or villas with rustic courtyards, exposed beams, and enchanting views.

Practical tip: choose a venue with large outdoor spaces where you can hold both the ceremony and reception under the starry sky.

Floral arrangements: lavender is the star (and not only)

The heart of Provençal style is the language of flowers : lavender first and foremost, but also peonies, roses, daisies, hydrangeas, ears of corn, and gypsophila. The palette plays with lilac, wisteria, mint, creamy white, and dusty pink , avoiding optical white.

Floral ideas to inspire you:

• Arches with lavender + English roses + peonies

• Centerpieces in glass jars or vintage jugs

• Place card with lavender sprigs

• Seats decorated with floral garlands

• Aviaries suspended between the trees with flowers and ribbons

Materials, fabrics, and details: rustic becomes chic

The Provençal style loves light wood, wicker, decorated white ceramics, market boxes, straw baskets and light lace.

What can't be missed:

• Tablecloths in raw linen or cotton

• Ivory lace bows

• Vintage mirrors and wrought iron lanterns

• Lavender-scented candles for a soft, romantic glow

Floral designer tip: Even indoors, you can recreate a Provençal atmosphere with decorated seating, lanterns, mirrors, rustic centerpieces, and floral garlands.

The reception table: simple, but well-finished

Opt for wooden tables or set them with natural white tablecloths, embossed ceramic plates, floral centerpieces, and rustic details.
