There are many wonder ways to design around the French Provençal style. The welcoming and cozy feeling of the genre lends itself to family style meals served from large platters at long tables. Choose tablecloths made from one of the classic French Provençal small prints. You can use solid color napkins in one of the colors from the print as an accent. Layer in a hint of a check in the form of a ribbon tied around the napkins. For centerpieces,In order to create a romantic feel with your flowers, You could use light colored roses, hydrangeas, peonies or David Austin roses that looked very similar to peonies.

At any French inspired wedding, the food and wine are going to be a big deal.  The food from Provence is actually very Mediterranean, and uses many of the same ingredients as Italian cooking. Some of the key ingredients are garlic, olives, tomatoes, artichokes, anchovies, and goat cheese. The region is also known for an aromatic blend of herbs called Herbes de Provence, which features thyme, lavender, rosemary, and tarragon, among other things. Bouillabaisse is the classic seafood stew of Provence; serve it in beautiful hand painted heavy pottery; delicate bone china has no place on the rustic French Provençal table. Try a rich red wine made from Grenache grapes with the hearty stew.

The welcoming feeling of the French countryside is an absolutely wonderful atmosphere to create for your wedding day. A party that is all about good food and great company is really what a wedding reception should be about. Add to that great classic French design, and you will see why a French Provençal wedding is such a beautiful thing.
