Château de Forbin: a never-ending source of inspiration for wedding celebrations

A true ode to love, this château in Provence lends itself to all kinds of wedding themes. Here are a few ideas to inspire you. 

A vintage wedding 

Château de Forbin is a residence that embodies several eras, from the 18th century to the present day. It is the perfect setting for an old-fashioned ceremony. 

A 1920s-themed wedding can be a beautiful example to celebrate in the heart of the villa. Large feathers, pearls and rhinestone table runners are a welcome addition to the décor. To add a touch of whimsy, you can dress up in period costumes and impose a dress code on your guests. For the entertainment: a photobooth with 20s-inspired masquerade costume accessories will be ideal for entertaining between two meals. For example, a moustache or a cloche hat.

A classic chic wedding

Château de Forbin places elegance at the heart of its architecture, making it the ideal venue for a chic wedding. The carefully appointed reception rooms reflect this spirit. They feature grandiose period architecture that marries perfectly with the contemporary works of art and sculptures that adorn the premises. 

To sublimate the decor while respecting your theme, elegance and sobriety are the order of the day. Candelabras, quality table linen and discreet floral arrangements are highly recommended. In terms of colors, white, gold and pastels will be a delight to the eye. The decor doesn't need to be overloaded. In fact, to create a romantic atmosphere, it needs to preserve a certain softness and purity.

A country wedding 

With its naturally beautiful gardens, the Château de Forbin is perfect for an enchanted country-themed wedding. Particularly during the summer months, when nature is at its most magnificent: blue skies, greenery, natural light, fragrant flowers in a thousand and one colors... A little wood, straw objects and jute fabrics reminiscent of the countryside will naturally find their place here. At dusk, you can enhance the landscape with guinguette candles, garlands or lanterns. There's no need to overload the decor, as it's already there in its own right.
