REAL WEDDINGS

A Three-Day French Destination Wedding from Paris to Domaine de Primard

Three days, three worlds: a Parisian bistrot welcome, a garden wedding beneath a white tent and a sunlit French pool party, all designed by Giritaly.

Lamya and Sam imagined their wedding as a three-day journey through three distinct atmospheres: Parisian glamour, refined countryside romance and the carefree spirit of a French summer. Each celebration was given its own identity, yet a shared design language and deeply personal details carried the weekend as one story, from a candlelit bistrot moments from the Eiffel Tower to a garden ceremony and a sunlit pool party an hour outside the city.

The weekend was planned and designed by WedLuxe partner Giritaly, led by Micheline Diab. Having worked across Europe and the Middle East, the Giritaly team creates celebrations in historic castles, seaside retreats, waterfront villas and exclusive venues, and here they shaped one vision across two remarkable French settings: Thoumieux in Paris and Domaine de Primard in the countryside.

Rather than repeat a single look, every day had its own palette. Bordeaux red and velvet set the tone in Paris, natural whites and greens framed the wedding on June 27, 2026, and sunny yellow and crisp white closed the weekend by the pool. Facibeni Weddings captured all three chapters, from blue hour on a Paris street to a final afternoon in the water.

A Parisian Welcome at Thoumieux

The celebrations began on June 26 at Thoumieux, in the heart of Paris and moments from the Eiffel Tower. The evening embraced the spirit of a true Parisian bistrot, elevated with a rich palette of Bordeaux red, candlelight, velvet textures and vivid red peonies by Lara Ahdab. Lamya, radiant in a sparkling burgundy gown, became part of the colour story herself.

French classics set the tone at the table. Guests settled along red velvet banquettes beneath globe lights and mirrored ceilings, each place set with an illustrated bistrot menu, as steak-frites gave way to a tower of chocolate profiteroles crowned with cherries.

As the night drew in, Lamya and Sam stepped out onto the street, the red Thoumieux sign glowing behind them and the Eiffel Tower lit at the end of the road. It was an intimate, glamorous and distinctly French introduction to the celebrations ahead.

A Countryside Wedding at Domaine de Primard

For the wedding day, the mood transformed completely. Just an hour from Paris, Domaine de Primard offered a serene landscape of gardens, water and sweeping greenery, and the design turned natural, airy and quietly elegant. In the late afternoon, before the ceremony, Lamya and Sam spent time together in the gardens, her strapless Danielle Frankel gown and cathedral-length veil trailing across the lawn below the château. Her bridesmaids wore a soft spectrum of blue, butter yellow, pink, mint and lilac.

A Ceremony Beneath the Trees

The ceremony unfolded beneath the trees, beside the water, in a setting designed to belong to the landscape rather than compete with it. Wooden cross-back chairs lined a grass aisle banked with white hydrangeas and delphinium, leading to a round white platform, and white paper fans waited on the seats for guests. Two violinists played as everyone gathered below the château.

Lamya arrived through the gardens, walking between tall clipped hedges with a bouquet of white flowers while Sam waited on the platform with his groomsmen. Guests rose as she came down the aisle, and the couple exchanged vows framed by garden blooms before walking back up the aisle as newlyweds beneath a shower of petals.

As guests drifted toward the lawn, the newlyweds slipped away for portraits among the climbing roses and along the formal parterre, the château glowing in the evening light.

Dinner Beneath the White Tent

Dinner took place beneath a magnificent white tent. Natural wooden structures, delicate greenery and oversized woven pendant lights created warmth and softness, while seasonal white flowers were arranged with an effortless, garden-gathered sensibility. The tablescapes combined long white tables, natural wood chairs, fine glassware and bespoke printed menus, with the tent’s open drapes framing the château beyond.

At the heart of the tent, a custom green-and-white chequered dance floor introduced a contemporary graphic statement, and the illustrated bar, menus and stationery carried the same visual language throughout. A tiered, garden-inspired cake by Synie’s reflected the wedding’s floral palette, ringed with the same white blooms that filled the tables.

Before guests took their seats, cocktails were poured on the lawn in front of the château, where white parasols shaded the gathering and a floral column of green and white crowned the bar. Lamya and Sam raised coupes from a champagne tower as the light softened over the gardens.

From Candlelight to the Dance Floor

As evening fell, hundreds of candles and lanterns brought warmth to the space. Guests gathered on the chequered floor before Lamya and Sam made their entrance along a lantern-lined path, arms raised, with the château behind them. Dinner unfolded to live performances from the band, the singers moving between the tables and the dance floor.

Dinner gave way to dancing. Lamya and Sam shared their first dance on the chequered floor, and before long their guests crowded in beneath the crystal chandeliers. Later, the palette returned to deep red as dramatic lighting and a high-energy after-party carried the celebration late into the night, with Lamya in a sparkling statement look for the final hours.

A French Summer Pool Party

The final day returned to Domaine de Primard for a joyful poolside celebration. The palette shifted once more, this time to sunny yellow and crisp white, as striped parasols and loungers, a striped bar, stacked lemons and marigolds, and playful details created a light, summery French atmosphere.

Guests arrived dressed in the same colours and became part of the composition themselves. Yellow-and-white evil-eye bracelets, folding fans and carefully chosen poolside favours added an intimate, playful layer, while a generous buffet and fresh lemon sorbet kept the afternoon bright and relaxed.

Music, dancing and pool games brought an effortless energy to the day, and by mid-afternoon the pool was full of guests among the yellow floats.

Lamya and Sam’s wedding was ultimately a study in contrast: the seductive Bordeaux reds of Paris, the natural whites and greens of the countryside and the sun-drenched yellow of a French summer. Each celebration was given its own world, and what connected them was the attention to detail, from flowers, colours and bespoke prints to the smallest personal touches. Three days, three distinctive atmospheres, and one story designed entirely around Lamya and Sam.
