Bohemian chic weddings find their ideal setting in Provence
Imagine your wedding celebrated in a setting where the natural beauty of Provence meets the timeless elegance of a historic château. Bohemian chic weddings offer the perfect blend of relaxed authenticity and sophisticated refinement, creating a unique celebration that reflects your personality.
What is a bohemian chic wedding? Combining authenticity and refinement
Bohemian chic weddings fuse country and hippie-chic aesthetics with a remarkable touch of sophistication. This trend values simplicity, authenticity and a strong connection with nature, while incorporating elegant and refined elements that set this approach apart from conventional celebrations.
Imagine a celebration where the freedom of form marries the grace of noble materials, where every detail exudes natural harmony while retaining a timeless elegance. It's this subtle alchemy that characterises bohemian chic weddings.
Inspired by the gipsy spirit and the fashions of the 1960s and 1970s, this style has its origins in the 15th-century term "bohemian", which referred to a nomadic people living in Bohemia. Figuratively speaking, it now embodies a lifestyle free of social conventions, marked by freedom and improvisation in the organisation of your union. Imagine the rustle of light fabrics in the Provençal breeze, the heady scent of dried flowers and the gentle warmth of candles dancing in the twilight - this is the very essence of a bohemian chic wedding.
This relaxed, dreamlike atmosphere is characterised by soft, soothing colours. The bohemian chic palette plays on natural shades: sand and earth tones as a base, enhanced by sage green, burgundy or terracotta. Gold accents add a discreet elegance, while off-white and ivory create a luminous harmony.
For a more contemporary touch, don't hesitate to introduce powdery blues or very pale pinks. Subdued lighting, created by decorative candles and string lights, creates a warm, intimate atmosphere that will transform your celebration into a magical moment. The important thing is to keep the colour scheme consistent, while playing with materials and textures to create depth and relief.
How does the Château des 3 Fontaines enhance your bohemian chic wedding in Provence?
Our Provencal estate is the ideal setting for your bohemian chic wedding, combining the natural beauty of Mediterranean gardens with the architectural elegance of a 19th-century residence. Provence naturally offers the authentic setting sought by couples aspiring to a bohemian chic celebration.
The idyllic location: Provence, the setting for your union
With 300 days of sunshine a year and sunny landscapes, our Provençal region offers a setting that's naturally suited to the bohemian chic theme. The 10-hectare park with its century-old trees, waterfall and pond creates a romantic, relaxed atmosphere where your guests can feel transported into a country fairytale.
Decoration in perfect harmony with the bohemian chic style
To create a successful bohemian chic atmosphere, certain decorative elements are essential. Floral arrangements should favour dried flowers such as lavender, immortelle or dried roses, combined with natural foliage. Hanging flowers and garlands of pendants add the airy dimension so characteristic of the style.
Textiles play an essential role: linen, raw cotton and muslin create supple, natural draperies. For floral arrangements, combine different heights of glass or raw ceramic vases to create movement. Think of hanging dried flowers above the tables for an airy atmosphere. Alternate large country bouquets with small, discreet floral touches to vary the effect while maintaining a natural harmony. Aromas of lavender or rosemary in bouquets add an olfactory dimension to your decor.
Don't hesitate to mix materials with touches of velvet or silk to add refinement. Vintage rugs, embroidered cushions and light blankets complete the warm atmosphere.
The Château's spaces blend perfectly with the characteristic elements of bohemian chic weddings. Our approach to natural decor highlights dried flowers, macramé, natural materials like wood and linen, as well as soft lighting with garlands and tealight holders.
The 470 m² Orangery and the vast 1200 m² lawn offer modular spaces in which to integrate these decorative elements harmoniously. The modular flower walls fit in perfectly with this theme, while the rattan and untreated wood furniture adds that touch of authenticity and comfort sought after in the bohemian spirit.
From elegant outfits to natural flavours: every detail counts
The art of the bohemian chic wedding lies in the harmony of all its elements, from the clothes to the food. Our team will work with you to select every detail to create a cohesive celebration that reflects your personal vision of relaxed elegance.
Outfits that embrace freedom and bohemian elegance
For the bride
Bohemian chic wedding dresses are characterised by their fluidity and lightness. For an authentic look, opt for flowing cuts with long, flared sleeves, plunging necklines or delicate halter tops.
Materials such as openwork lace, gauzy chiffon and matte satin create graceful silhouettes. Embroidered details, discreet floral motifs and macramé belts add a personal touch.
Complete your outfit with hammered metal ethnic jewellery, braided bracelets or dried flower wreaths to complete this free, romantic style.
For the groom
A light linen or cotton suit in natural tones such as aqua green, sky blue or beige is perfect for a relaxed atmosphere.
Bow ties often replace traditional ties, while braces add that vintage touch that is so characteristic of bohemian style.
For guests
Suggestions pour harmoniser les tenues des invités avec l’esprit bohème chic : robes longues fluides en coton ou lin pour les femmes, costumes décontractés en matières naturelles pour les hommes. Privilégiez les teintes douces et les imprimés floraux discrets qui s’accordent avec la palette couleur du mariage. Comme accessoires, pensez aux chapeaux en paille ou aux petits sacs en macramé pour une touche authentique.
Authentic gastronomy and sweet treats to match the theme
The culinary philosophy of the bohemian chic wedding favours local produce and authentic flavours. Our network of selected caterers offers menus highlighting Provençal specialties, respecting this natural and refined approach.
Wedding cakes often take on the appearance of 'naked cakes', where the layers of sponge cake and cream remain visible, adorned with fresh or dried flowers. This less conventional approach perfectly reflects the authentic, natural spirit of the bohemian chic theme.
Attention and activities for your guests to prolong the bohemian spirit
Create authentic moments of sharing with events in keeping with your theme: a calligraphy workshop for the menus, a "polaroid" corner with rattan decorations, a relaxation area with cushions and plaids for intimate conversations. For the children, plan nature activities such as creating flower crowns or decorating small terracotta pots.
In the evening, transform the lawn into an ephemeral dance floor with string lights and lanterns to prolong the party under the stars. Opt for a DJ or an acoustic band who will mix folk melodies with lively rhythms.
To create an immersive experience, offer your guests activities in keeping with your theme. A photo corner with natural elements such as a straw mat, wicker chairs and floral garlands will capture authentic memories. Organise a wreath-braiding or macramé bracelet-making workshop for a convivial event.
In the evening, deckchairs arranged around a campfire with hanging lanterns create an intimate atmosphere. Offer signature cocktails made from local produce served in earthenware glasses to keep things natural and relaxed.
Guest gifts are part of this ecological and authentic approach: small local delicacies packaged in natural materials such as kraft paper, seed sachets to sow, artisanal honey or flower infusions. These gifts extend the sensory experience of your bohemian chic wedding well beyond the celebration itself.
At Château des 3 Fontaines, we understand that every couple wants to create a unique celebration. Our personalised approach to bohemian chic weddings combines the expertise of our decorator, florist and catering partners to turn your vision into reality.

A soundtrack that evokes the bohemian spirit
Music plays an important part in creating a bohemian chic atmosphere. For the ceremony, opt for acoustic melodies on guitar or violin. During the cocktail reception, instrumental versions of contemporary pieces or folk compositions will add a modern touch while keeping with the theme. The choice of tunes for the dance can be a mix of timeless classics and contemporary rhythms to appeal to all generations.
