Dolce Vita Brunch at Chateau Saint-Jeannet – French Riviera (S & A’s wedding)

Mediterranean Elegance in Every Detail

Imène Hanafi, a renowned wedding planner who specialises in exclusive events across Monaco, the French Riviera South of France and Italy, brought her signature touch of indulgence and opulence to every detail. This wasn’t just a brunch—it was an experience that transported guests to the heart of Southern Italy, all while basking in the beauty of the French Riviera.

Drawing from Southern Italy’s vibrant coastal aesthetic, the décor for S & A’s Dolce Vita wedding brunch was nothing short of spectacular. The tablescapes were a true highlight, fusing Mediterranean elegance with fine craftsmanship. Lush white roses, hydrangeas, and cascading orchids paired beautifully with bright lemons, creating a vibrant nod to the Amalfi Coast’s sunny appeal.

Ornate Sicilian Moorish head vases, each a piece of art, adorned the centre of every table alongside delicate ceramic busts, lending a sense of heritage to the décor. The blue-and-white patterned table linens evoked coastal charm, while wicker placemats, finely detailed plates, and vibrant blue glassware completed the sophisticated Italian look. The entire design was a harmonious blend of Mediterranean colour and elegance, inviting guests to indulge in a beautifully curated setting on the French Riviera.

The seamless integration of nature was another key feature of this wedding at Château Saint-Jeannet. Lemons and greenery were woven throughout the décor, from the centrepieces to the dessert display, with the Château’s rustic stone walls providing an authentic Italian ambiance. The setting was as exclusive as it was unique, making it one of the finest wedding venues on the French Riviera.

A Culinary Journey Through Southern Italy

While the décor set the scene, the culinary experience was just as captivating. Imène ensured that guests were treated to a sumptuous feast, with a menu inspired by the rich flavours of Southern Italy. The brunch was served under a charming awning dressed in real lemons,where guests savoured a range of dishes, from freshly baked focaccia and pizzas to delicate lemon and pistachio cakes, each dish paying homage to Italy’s celebrated food culture.

The dessert table was a particular highlight, featuring elegant cakes and repurposed Sicilian bust vases filled with fresh herbs like basil and tomatoes—combining culinary flair with creative design. Every element was carefully curated to provide a luxurious yet relaxed experience, embodying the laid-back refinement that defines both the French Riviera and Southern Italy.
