We based our wedding stationery on a painting my mother, Nina, had given me; a delicate illustration of lily flowers. It felt incredibly special to weave something so meaningful into our day. The invitations and monogram were designed by our close friend Luke, who perfectly blended sentiment with timeless elegance.

Our wedding weekend began with an intimate dinner at the Chateaux, shared with our wedding parties and closest family. It was a peaceful, special start to the celebrations. I chose an ivory silk gown, styling it with an aquamarine bangle once gifted to my mother by my father in the late 90s, and a baby-blue beaded silk bag borrowed from my late grandmother.

As the sun set over the mountains of Vence, we stepped away for a few quiet moments together. The light was perfect, and it became one of those rare, intimate pauses we shared just the two of us.

Some of my bridesmaids waiting for the rehearsal to begin. We’d been counting down to the weekend, and rehearsing our walk down the aisle together felt surreal and so much fun.

Our soirée blanche with all of our wedding guests incorporated everything I love! Endless pink flowers, flowing canopies, and classic toile. I chose a full Danielle Frankel look, finished with a soft updo and Chanel accessories.

The mix of green and pink was a subtle nod to the natural beauty surrounding us in the château’s olive garden.

We created an X-shaped layout with expansive, dramatically long tables, allowing the florals to flow uninterrupted. It was especially striking when viewed from the balcony above.

We used subtly different shades of pink in all the florals.

Layers of gently differing pink tones were woven through the florals.

My younger sister, Rose, welcomed our guests with a speech I hadn’t heard beforehand, it was effortlessly funny, witty, and deeply touching. I was completely blown away by her delivery.

The happiest morning of my life. With my ten bridesmaids and my mother by my side, I felt so loved and incredibly excited, not a single nerve among us.

My ceremony look was couture Vivienne Westwood, created over ten months with the atelier. Made from French lace, I kept everything else understated. Just my engagement ring, diamond studs with marquise drops, a soft French twist, and natural makeup in soft pink hues.

My father and I are incredibly close, and I had always dreamed of that Father of the Bride moment - ‘seeing Annie at the top of the stairs’. He hadn’t seen my dress beforehand, and I don’t think either of us expected just how emotional we would be.
20 of 48
Each of my bridesmaids chose her own gown for the ceremony, and I hadn’t seen them all together until that moment. They hadn’t seen my dress either, which made our first reveal to one another so meaningful.

Ready. Excited. With the ceremony briefly delayed by the weather, we shared a private moment. Music on, dancing together, until it was finally time.

Jack wore a custom-tailored suit. It took him all of 30 minutes to get ready, and he’s never looked better.

Alongside Jack stood his best man, Abraham, his brother, Conor, and his closest friends. Among the groomsmen was our officiant, Josh, wearing a subtly different suit.

Surrounded by love, our ceremony took a circular shape so everyone felt equally part of the moment. With endless white florals and a canopy above us, we felt completely immersed in beauty, as Jack stood, emotional, while my father and I made our way down the stairs and into the aisle. I walked down to Say Yes to Heaven and the moment truly felt heavenly.

As my father and I walked down together, we shared a quiet, emotional moment. I was filled with excitement, smiling as I saw the people I love waiting for us. I softly told him, “Today is the happiest day of my life,” and felt so grateful to be sharing it with him and everyone I hold dear. I wanted to share the ceremony with my mother and grandmother as well, my mother removed my veil when I got to the altar and my grandmother held my bouquet as the ceremony unfolded.

We opted for traditional vows, even within a non-traditional celebration. It felt important to honour the same promises our parents and grandparents had made before us.
27 of 48
And just like that, we were married. We walked back down the aisle to "Baby I’m Yours," and it was the most joyful, fun moment.

With flower petals falling above us and florals lining the path below, it felt absolutely perfect.

We’d practised the dip beforehand, unsure if we’d actually go for it. We did, and I’m so happy we did.

Back with my girls. This shoot was so much fun, having all my best friends there meant everything, and sharing a quiet moment with my maid of honour, Jane, made it even more special.

The cocktail hour bar, made even more special with my mother’s painting taking centre stage.

Set inside a glass marquee, our reception featured a dramatic chandelier at its heart, a mix of round and rectangular tables, a classic chequered dance floor, and our band setting the tone.

We chose timeless silverware, glassware, and menus, with embroidered napkins featuring our ‘L’ and ‘J’ monogram, and oversized white floral centrepieces to keep the look classic and refined.

Every angle offered a different point of interest. Ivory silk draping cascaded from the ceiling, adding depth while allowing the florals on the tables to truly shine.

We left the marquee and made our way to the Châteaux’s bar, transformed into a late-night nightclub for the after-party. I changed into another couture Vivienne Westwood look, styled with a sleek ponytail and custom Westwood platforms, of course!
