Former Southern Charm star Naomie Olindo and Billy Haire have officially tied the knot, celebrating their love with a sun-drenched summer wedding in the heart of Provence, France. The picturesque celebration, set against the historic backdrop of Château des Pradines, perfectly encapsulated the couple’s vision of a wedding day that felt both elevated and effortlessly romantic. Rather than imposing an overwhelming design scheme, the couple wisely chose to let the breathtaking French château lead the aesthetic, proving that the most magnificent settings often require very little outside intervention.
The multi-day wedding festivities began with a vibrant, lavender-filled rehearsal dinner held at Château de la Gaude, immersing guests in the full bloom and iconic sensory experience of the Provençal region. From there, the celebration transitioned seamlessly into the main wedding day, where every element was meticulously curated to reflect the couple’s personal style while honoring the natural beauty of southern France. Event planning agency Be My Love orchestrated the details, ensuring that the atmosphere remained organic, refined, and completely relaxed throughout the proceedings.
For the ceremony, floral design studio Flower and Twig kept the arrangements soft and organic, utilizing a sophisticated palette of greens and whites that echoed the surrounding Provençal landscape. Instead of competing with the historic architecture and lush greenery of Château des Pradines, the florals enhanced the natural ambiance, creating a seamless visual harmony between the venue and the decor. Charlotte, working closely with the couple, brought this cohesive vision to life, crafting an environment that felt deeply personal yet entirely at home in the French countryside.
The bride turned heads as she walked down the aisle in a stunning, custom-designed gown. Naomie collaborated directly with designer Lauren Gabrielson of The LG Project to create a wedding dress that was uniquely hers, blending high-fashion elegance with a sense of personal ease. Reflecting on the planning process and the big day itself, the bride’s advice to future couples remains wonderfully simple: prioritize comfort. In her view, when a bride truly feels comfortable and remains authentic to herself, everything else on the wedding day naturally falls into place.
Following the heartfelt ceremony, guests were treated to a reception that highlighted both French culinary tradition and deeply personal family touches. Rather than opting for a traditional tiered wedding cake, the couple chose a classic French croquembouche, a towering confection made of delicate choux pastry puffs, expertly prepared by their caterer, Roland Paix.
However, one of the most talked-about and personal touches of the entire celebration came in liquid form. The bride’s stepbrother, Hugo Marchal, owns a vineyard located nearby in the French countryside and produced a custom vintage especially for the occasion. Playfully named "Haire of the Dogs," the custom wine featured custom labels starring the couple’s beloved dogs, Olive and Gus. This clever and meaningful detail brought together family, place, and personality, serving as a clear favorite among the attendees and a memorable keepsake of the day.
Every fleeting moment, emotional exchange, and picturesque vista of the Provençal celebration was beautifully captured by photographer Jeremie Hkb, preserving the memories of Naomie and Billy’s romantic European wedding for years to come.
