Larry Walshe conceived the wedding ceremony at Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc in Nice as an immersive garden set against the brilliance of the Mediterranean. Drawing inspiration from the natural beauty of the Côte d’Azur, the ceremony aisle was lined with abundant meadow-style florals in soft whites and fresh greens—delicate sprays of blossom, garden roses, and textured foliage that appeared to grow organically from the ground.
The focal point was a trio of monumental floral arches, the central structure richly layered with ivory roses and seasonal blooms while the flanking arches were softened with airy greenery. Positioned against the sea and distant mountains, the design framed the landscape while creating a romantic architectural moment for the couple’s vows.
Walshe extended this botanical narrative throughout the reception design, translating the softness of the ceremony florals into an elegant tablescape. Long banquet tables were dressed in patterned linens reminiscent of classic French textiles, layered with flowing garlands of blush and cream roses, delicate filler flowers, and trailing greenery. Amber glassware, soft candlelight, and tailored place settings added warmth and refinement, while the abundant floral arrangements echoed the naturalistic style established earlier in the day. The palette remained intentionally restrained—ivory, pale peach, muted greens—allowing the flowers to feel fresh, luminous, and perfectly suited to the Riviera setting.
