Julie and Mike's wedding, beautifully planned and designed by Imène Hanafi of The Wedding Planners Monaco, was an enchanting celebration in the South of France, evoking the magic of a romantic fairy tale.
The Venue
The Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild, a stunning French seaside villa on the French Riviera, is renowned as one of the most exceptional wedding venues.
Created by Baroness Beatrice de Rothschild and architect Aaron Messiah, this grand rose-coloured villa opened in 1912 after seven years of construction. The villa is surrounded by nine exquisitely manicured themed gardens, offering spectacular views of Beaulieu Bay and the Bay of Villefranche sur Mer.
