Laura and Travis, a dynamic NYC power couple, embody the flair and class of the French Riviera. Laura, passionate about high-end fashion, and Travis, an advertising executive for international brands, are well-connected, well-traveled, and deeply in love. Their journey has taken them across the globe, from Portugal to Spain, Mexico to Dubai, Tokyo to Turkey, with many more adventures on their list. For their luxury coastal Wedding Hotel du Cap Eden Roc celebration they chose the sunny, relaxing, and accessible locale of Antibes, close to Nice but away from the city's hustle and bustle.
The Welcome Dinner
Their wedding festivities began with a luxury coastal Wedding Hotel du Cap Eden Roc. Known for its exclusivity and breathtaking views, this iconic venue set a glamorous tone for the weekend. Guests were welcomed into their sunny rooms with macarons on every pillow, ensuring everyone felt pampered and special from the moment they arrived.
The Morning Preparations
On the morning of the wedding, Laura and her bridesmaids, along with her adorable dog, got ready in the sunny bridal suite at Belles Rives. The excitement and joy were palpable as they prepared for the big day. Meanwhile, Travis waited on the jetty for their first look, creating a picturesque moment by the sparkling sea. The couple also took a few portraits by the water, capturing their love against the stunning coastal backdrop.
The Ceremony
The ceremony took place on the terrace at Belles Rives, under a bright blue sky. Laura and Travis exchanged vows beneath a lush arch filled with white flowers and greenery, with the moment officiated by Charlie, our in-house British celebrant. The setting was both intimate and breathtaking, perfectly reflecting the couple's sophisticated style.
The Cocktail Hour
Following the ceremony, guests enjoyed a cocktail hour on the shoreside terrace. They sipped champagne, Aperol spritz, and Negronis while listening to a live band featuring a singer, drummer, saxophonist, and pianist. The floral arch from the ceremony was moved to the terrace below, providing a beautiful photo area for guests.
The Reception
For the dinner, a single long table was set up by the water, creating a chic and intimate setting. The décor was elegant and minimalist, with white roses on each plate instead of name tags. Tall centerpieces and candles added a dramatic yet warm atmosphere, promoting conversation and intimacy among the guests.
The Evening Celebration
The night kicked off with a DJ and a sax player, setting a lively tone for the evening. As the party continued, guests enjoyed a late-night snack featuring croquembouche, cheese, fruits, tarts, and sweets. Since everyone was staying at the hotel, the celebration went on into the wee hours of the morning. The following day, the festivities continued with a waterfront brunch and a relaxing day on the beach.
