There’s something undeniably magical about lavender fields in full bloom — endless waves of purple stretching to the horizon, bathed in the golden light of the South of France. French wedding planner Candice from Quinze Heures Quinze and wedding photographer Aude Lucas dreamed up a photoshoot that captures this beauty, offering inspiration for couples seeking an unforgettable engagement session in Provence. Designed as a luxury yet effortless picnic among the lavenders, this shoot perfectly illustrates how France is the place where simplicity meets timeless elegance.
A Provençal Dream: Chic Engagement Among the Lavenders
Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Provence’s rolling lavender fields, the shoot imagined a refined country picnic that could serve either as an engagement session or a romantic lifestyle shoot. Two stunning looks brought the vision to life: first, a vaporous day-time gown (“Lea” by Lili Pellegrino) paired with a wide-brimmed hat for a chic and effortless countryside feel. A beige suit by Faubourg Saint Sulpice complemented the setting perfectly, creating a bright, relaxed, and stylish look ideal for sun-drenched fields.
Later, the bride-to-be changed into a sleek, glamorous evening gown (“Diamond” by Pronovias) for a second, more luxurious feel. The evolving looks allowed the shoot to transition naturally from a casual picnic into a golden-hour soirée, capturing the beauty and versatility of a Provençal engagement celebration.
Artful Details for a Lavender Love Story
Every detail of the session was carefully curated to enhance the romantic Provençal mood. Maureen L Beauty and Best Coiffure by Yulia created hair and makeup styles that embodied effortless French glamour — from airy, natural waves to sophisticated updos. Jewelry by So Helo added the perfect pearl accents for both styles, while Charlotte Boudreaux Design crafted a bouquet that mirrored the wild elegance of the lavender fields, blending soft purples, pinks, and whites.
To complete the scene, Candice designed a luxurious yet intimate picnic spot featuring French cheeses, fruits, baguettes, and champagne — a true ode to the “art de vivre” of France. Aude Lucas captured this romantic moment in a style that married fashion and romance, with sunset shots rich in golden hues and soft film-like grain, giving the images a timeless, cinematic feel.
This shoot is a true invitation to dream — a reminder that in Provence, romance blooms as naturally as the lavender fields themselves.
