For some, the symbolic meaning is key. They want a beautiful and special place to spend their wedding night.
Where to sleep on your wedding night? Admittedly, this may not be the most important question when you decide to get married, but if you want to organise this exceptional day properly, it really is an element to be taken into account. Especially when it comes to a destination wedding in Provence! We’ll tell you more here.
The wedding night – think about it!
We’re all about authenticity here at Château la Beaumetane, which means that sometimes we’re a bit blunt. So we’re going to start this blog with just one fact that shouldn’t shock anyone…. The wedding night isn’t what it used to be. In fact, it’s rare for the wedding night to be the first night our bride and groom share their intimacy…
However, even symbolically, this wedding night remains important. It remains the first night that our beautiful cakes will spend as a married couple. For some, the symbolic meaning is key. They want a beautiful and special place to spend their wedding night. That’s why talking to your partner beforehand is important. Are you both on the same page about what you want from the night?
For some people, the intimacy and symbolism of the wedding night will not be the most important criteria for the success of this extraordinary day, evening, and night. After an exciting day filled with emotions and activity, all they desire is a peaceful and comfortable place to sleep for a few hours. Furthermore, this calm setting becomes even more important for a destination wedding. Since the bride and groom are normally already in a setting that is not entirely familiar to them, a restful night’s sleep becomes crucial.
The setting for the wedding night
Whether for symbolic or pragmatic reasons, the location of the place where you are going to spend your wedding night counts. There are several options available to you, depending on your intentions, particularly for the following day.
You may want to be closer to the airport if you are leaving early the next day for your honeymoon. However, this is more of an exception than a general rule among our brides and grooms. Even in this case, Marseille airport is so close to the château that the bride and groom stay overnight with us!
You can decide where you want to have brunch the next day. Finally, it’s up to you to decide whether you want to be in a secluded spot, just the two of you, or not too far from your guests.
Whatever the case, it’s important to find somewhere close to your reception venue. If there’s a car journey to be made, think about taking a driver… Fatigue and/or alcohol can be a problem… I know, I’m being a mum, but it’s important 😊
Another important little detail. Remember to bring the things you’ll need for the following day for our wedding night. In fact, we’ve already had a bride leave in her wedding dress the next day because she’d forgotten her bag at home!
Convenience and Romance: Why Our Newlyweds Stay On-Site
At Château la Beaumetane, we generally keep our brides and grooms. It’s often an obvious choice: the setting is beautiful, they’re having brunch the next day at the château, and they’re on site. Furthermore, their guests are close by. In fact, they are sleeping in the bedrooms of the recently renovated stables. But the bride and groom have their privacy, as they spend their wedding night in the bridal bedroom, which is in the château. Finally, all the bride and groom’s belongings are on site, as they usually get ready in the morning. Everything you need for a magical moment on the morning of the big day!
