From the Parisian Celebrant — offering bespoke ceremonies across France, Italy, Spain & beyond.
An Icon’s “Oui” in the South of France
When Thai actress and entrepreneur Virithipa “Woonsen” Pakdeeprasong said yes to a French wedding, the stage was set for something exceptional. Joined by her partner, Nick Thanapoomikul, the couple welcomed their loved ones to an extraordinary celebration of love, culture, and haute sophistication under the Provençal sky.
The destination? The legendary Château de Tourreau, a venue known not only for its grandeur, but for its rare ability to make you feel both royal and entirely at home. This was no ordinary wedding — it was a masterclass in love, design, and storytelling.
The Day Before: Sunset Arrival, Cocktails & Poolside Elegance
From the moment guests arrived at the breathtaking Château de Tourreau, the air was filled with anticipation. The late afternoon Provençal sun bathed the estate in gold, setting the perfect tone for a relaxed yet polished pre-wedding gathering.
Under the shade of elegant parasols and surrounded by curated garden blooms by La Blonde et le Barbu Design, friends reunited, champagne glasses clinked, and laughter spilled over into the warm air. The couple—Virithipa “Woonsen” and Nick Thanapoomikul—chose to keep this moment effortlessly chic: guests dressed in soft whites and neutrals, perfectly in sync with the surrounding palette of terracotta, cypress green, and antique stone.
What made this soirée even more memorable? A garden picnic setup like no other—low tables adorned with ripe peaches and pale pink dahlias, velvet cushions underfoot, and refined porcelain with vintage flair. It felt more like a film still than a rehearsal. Every detail curated by Dentelle Events whispered luxury without ostentation.
The Morning of Elegance
From the first light, the château buzzed gently with excitement. Inside its stately suites, Virithipa prepared with grace and elegance, surrounded by her closest confidantes and the talented hands of @andisoon and @dnadiafive, who crafted an effortlessly radiant bridal look.
The scent of garden roses and white blooms filled the air, thanks to the floral artistry of @lablondeetlebarbudesign. Meanwhile, fine tableware and design installations arrived from @options_aixenprovence, @be_lounge_officiel, and @balmrental, transforming the grounds into a living poem.
Morning Preparations: Slow Rituals & Mother-Daughter First Looks
The wedding day began slowly—intentionally. Unlike the high-tempo rhythm of most weddings, this was a morning for grounding. In her private suite, Woonsen was joined by her closest friends for an intimate glam session, styled effortlessly by Andi Soon and Dnadiafive. Between sips of champagne and bursts of laughter, they took their time—because time was part of the luxury here.
One of the most tender, unscripted moments? The first look between Woonsen and her mother. No guests, no photographer cues—just two women, heart-to-heart, in the glow of French morning light. The entire atmosphere felt hushed and sacred, a quiet prelude to the joy that would soon unfold outside among 150 elegantly dressed guests.
The Ceremony: Where Provence Meets Poetry
At 5:00 pm, guests took their seats as I, The Parisian Celebrant, welcomed them into an atmosphere charged with emotion and intimacy. Framed by floral arches and the sun-drenched terrace, the ceremony opened with delicate melodies from @harpsodyproduction, setting the tone for something unforgettable.
Woonsen, glowing in a gown that whispered modern royalty, walked down the aisle toward Nick with the soft golden light behind her. Their vows — delivered beneath ancient cypress trees and before their cherished family and friends — were quiet, powerful, and deeply moving.
A ceremonial highlight: the roses exchange. Each bloom, hand-chosen, represented values they wanted to carry into their marriage. A symbolic nod to timeless romance with a modern soul.
Golden Hour Moments
As the sun dipped lower, the magic intensified. @linasdambrauskas, one of the most sought-after luxury photographers in Europe, captured each glance and embrace. Alongside @liveproduction_official, not a moment of this fairytale went undocumented.
The newlyweds stole away briefly in a vintage classic from @provenceclassics, cruising down vineyard-lined lanes with the wind as their witness. Back at the château, guests were welcomed to a champagne cocktail featuring pours of @rarechampagne_official, and notes from @rosemary_quartet drifted through the courtyards.
Dinner Under the Stars
Planners @dentelleevents transformed the gardens into an ethereal dining experience. Long tables were layered with creamy linens, soft candlelight, and an abundance of florals.
Each course, curated by @fredericbernardtraiteur, reflected the terroir and decadence of Provence — paired exquisitely by sommelier @romainfabreselection.
Toasts flowed with laughter and happy tears. Moments of reflection and moments of riotous joy. No script — just the truth of two people in love and their world celebrating with them.
The Sparkle of the Night
As darkness fell, the energy rose. @dj_malike_, curated by @curate_entertainment, began the evening’s transformation into a glittering celebration. The lighting, designed with precision by @wildfire_djs and @loicjandia, turned the château into a dreamscape.
The moment everyone will remember? The first dance under the stars — bathed in golden light and surrounded by the people who knew their love best. Every beat, every step, every sparkle — perfection.
