INSPIRATIONAL EDITORIAL - An Exquisite Flower-Filled Intimate Franco-Hindu Wedding, Captured by Marie Landoin at Jardins Secrets, Haute Savoie, France The idea of carrying out a Franco-Hindu styled shoot had been in floral designer Laëtitia Clément's mind for a long time, and following her accidental discovery of the Jardins Secrets venue, it finally took on its full meaning.

In order to carry out the project, Laëtitia called on Charlène from the Pur Bonheur wedding planning agency to carry it out by her side. Charlène remarks:

“The visit to this secret garden was a real crush. We were transported to different worlds, which pleasantly surprised us, due to the architectural and botanical diversity. We aim to take the bride and groom on a journey and show that there are many possibilities available to them in our beautiful region.”

The artistic direction and styling led by Laëtitia was based on the architecture and the spirit of the garden, elegantly fusing both cultures, and Charlène was in charge of sourcing all the other wonderful local suppliers to bring the vision to life, and coordinating everything to perfection on the day.

The Venue

Charlène continues:

“The history of this place instantly seduced us. The owners maintain and cultivate the flowers that they grow themselves ecologically. The construction of the buildings was inspired by their origins and built with natural and reclaimed materials.”

The Stationery

Pictured for the first time here are the wedding rings supplied by ethical artisanal jeweller Paulette à Bicyclette.

The Bride, Groom & Guests

HMUA Marine Iachini enhanced the natural beauty of the bride with a subtle makeup look and a gently sweeping updo, accented with fresh stephanotis flowers.

The gorgeously bejewelled traditional saris of the guests were sourced from Caftan by Richard Amina (the wearing of which required much time to perfect for the team, but was worth every minute!).
