In August 2026, Rosalyn and Arteen gathered their loved ones in Antibes for a two-day French Riviera wedding. A beach welcome party in Juan-les-Pins, a Persian ceremony in the gardens of Bastide du Roy, dinner under the stars and a party that went on until the end of the night: here is a look back at a celebration that was as elegant as it was joyful.
The celebrations started the day before the wedding, on the beach in Juan-les-Pins. Guests were greeted with welcome bags and cocktails, and the tone was set straight away: relaxed, yet effortlessly elegant. It was the French Riviera spirit at its best, and the perfect way to open the weekend.
The next day, the wedding took place at Bastide du Roy, a stunning wedding venue in Antibes. Rosalyn and Arteen chose a Sofreh Aghd, the traditional and deeply symbolic Persian wedding ceremony, held in the estate’s French formal gardens while a string quartet played.
The design celebrated the French Riviera with a palette of baby blue, white and green. It was a magnificent moment, and one I will remember for a long time.
After the ceremony, guests made their way to the pool for cocktail hour. The caterer, Perche & Giraud, treated everyone to exceptional food, and the mood was wonderfully laid-back.
Dinner followed, still outdoors, under guinguette string lights, with an elegant table design and flowers in abundance. Then the party began, and everyone celebrated under the open sky until the end of the night.
Planning this French Riviera wedding with Rosalyn and Arteen was a joy from start to finish. We connected from the very beginning, and everything felt easy after that.
It is something I deeply believe: the relationship with your wedding planner cannot be invented. When the feeling is there, go for it. With them, it worked beautifully, and I loved being by their side every step of the way.

I chose Pauline because we instantly clicked during our first call. She was incredibly organized from the beginning and always made me feel confident that such an important day was in capable hands. She is also warm, funny, and genuinely a pleasure to work with.
Pauline has an amazing ability to understand your vision and bring it to life – we picked her because she doesn’t do a “copy/paste” of weddings across couples… she really does make your wedding yours. Pauline made coordinating a wedding in France with English-speaking clients completely seamless.
On the wedding day, we never had to think about timing, vendors, setup, or what needed to happen next – we were able to be completely present and enjoy ourselves.
