potager (vegetable garden).

linen menus
alfresco dinner on
the circle deck
“We wanted to provide a whole weekend full of experiences so that our guests would
be able to see the many different sides of Provence - we offered a wine tasting in
Chateauneuf-du-Pape for the bridesmaids, a bike tour for the groomsmen, a seated
dinner underneath a beautiful sycamore tree for the rehearsal, and a strolling supper
in the village of Gordes for the welcome dinner/party.” —Yelena
The La Veille au Soir music trio led guests across
the field to where an alfresco dinner was served —
on a circular deck surrounded by a lily pond with
a big tree growing in the middle. Dessert was
served on the treetop deck!
Candles, custom table runners, and
monobotanical arrangements in shades of
pink lined the tablescapes.
Each place setting had custom linen hemstitch
cocktail napkins and dinner menus designed by
Holly Hollon. A Flutter-approved keepsake splurge!

It was a themed “white party” where guests were
asked to wear all white. All blooms and decor
were white and accented with fresh greenery and
kumquat oranges.
The Butterfly Trio Quartet enchanted guests with
traditional French tunes.
