Forget big weddings, our gorgeous Texan couple show us how to do intimate and elegant when they eloped to Provence for their nuptials this spring.

We have fallen in love with the stunning views from their wedding venue Hotel Crillon Le Brave. Perched on a tiny hilltop village surrounded by vineyards and olive groves this relaxed and informal refuge allows you to enjoy all of the simple pleasures of Provence.

Each detail of today's wedding was carefully planned by FWS vendor Haute Wedding who specialise in luxury destination weddings throughout France. They ensure your dreams are brought flawlessly to reality while reflecting your desire for travel, culture and beauty.

Our beautiful bride and groom started their day with a first look after spending the morning getting ready in all their wedding attire. Have you ever thought of including a first look into your big day? It's something that is becoming increasingly popular and many photographers explain how much calmer their brides are before the ceremony, not forgetting the moment makes for beautiful photographs.

Let's hand you over to Haute Wedding who will be walking you through todays Hotel Crillon Le Brave Romantic Elopement...

"The vineyards of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, the roman city of Vaison-la-Romaine and the beautiful Lubéron region are just a stone's throw away making this the perfect getaway weekend." "The modern lines of this old church contrasted perfectly with the ivory trumpet with laser cut lace and beaded floral of the brides dress. But the true treat was just behind the doors. The light bellowed in through the stained glass windows creating rainbows that danced around the monastery as they said their hand written blessings."
