Wedding decoration in La Crau: floral creations and ceremony décor in the heart of the vines
At the foot of the Fenouillet hill, between Hyères, La Garde and the first Côtes de Provence wine estates, La Crau (83260) is the quintessential land of countryside weddings. Iliade Création, a studio for wedding decoration and bespoke floral creations based in Carqueiranne — a quarter of an hour from the centre of La Crau — stages your ceremonies in the parks, bastides and estates of the commune. More than 300 weddings enhanced since 2021.
🌸 Floral creations worthy of a wedding among the vines
The hues of the La Crau vineyards — soft green in spring, gold and terracotta in autumn — inspire our in-house floral studio. Every arrangement is made to measure, in fresh, dried or premium faux flowers, with a built-in water supply that guarantees their freshness from the first glance until the end of the night.
- For you: bridal bouquet, buttonholes, floral bracelets, combs and headpieces ;
- For your tables: centrepieces, domes and wreaths, floral columns, Martini vases, table runner braids ;
- For your décor: floral aisles, flower sprays for ceremony chairs, floral lectern, pampas floor arrangements and table plan flowers.
💍 Arches and chuppahs for your ceremony in La Crau
Nothing frames an exchange of vows better than an arch raised before the rows of vines. Our wedding arches — bohemian wood, hexagonal, triangular — come in arrangements in Terra Cotta, autumnal, Matcha, Dolce Vita or Nude — palettes tailor-made for the countryside settings of La Crau.
For traditional ceremonies, our white metal chuppahs, wooden or adorned with fresh flowers are installed, draped and adorned with flowers by our team — our article The chuppah: meaning and traditions tells you more.
✨ Rustic celebrant-led ceremony: parks, bastides and La Crau estates
Shaded reception parks, bastides nestled among the vines, olive groves: La Crau offers a wealth of stunning settings for a celebrant-led ceremony. We compose your complete décor — coconut runner for the aisle, chair décor and bows, celebrant's lectern, personalised directional arrows — and install it on site, arranged to perfection before your guests arrive.
🎉 Décor and accessories: every detail tells your story
Our catalogue of décor and accessories completes the styling: personalised welcome sign, wooden table plan or rustic, table names and numbers, gold standing mirror, cylindrical columns, audio guest book, candy bar, and the bohemian lounge corner in jute rugs and pouffes to carry the evening on.
💡 Illuminations: a starry ceiling above the vines
As night falls, our illuminations transform your reception: starry sky stretched above the tables, festoon lights between the plane trees, wood-effect LED lanterns and candles for a soft, warm and photogenic light.

À l’écart du littoral, La Crau cultive une identité de plaine et de vignes qui séduit les mariages champêtres. Le massif du Fenouillet, qui la sépare d’Hyères, offre des points de vue lumineux sur la campagne, tandis que le quartier de la Moutonne et la plaine agricole alignent domaines viticoles, mas et jardins clos. Ce décor plus intime, loin de l’affluence balnéaire, convient aux cérémonies laïques sous arche végétale et aux réceptions en extérieur, entre oliviers et rangs de vigne. La commune est idéalement reliée à La Garde, Solliès and Hyères, ce qui élargit encore le choix des lieux à quelques minutes.

Depuis Carqueiranne, La Crau se rejoint en quinze minutes, et son relief de plaine facilite grandement la logistique. Les domaines et bastides y sont le plus souvent accessibles en camion, sans portage complexe : nous livrons et installons arches, compositions, mobilier et illuminations directement sur le lieu de réception, dès le matin. Cette aisance d’accès nous permet de soigner les mises en scène de grande ampleur — allées fleuries, arches imposantes, chemins de table — en toute sérénité. Nous restons disponibles pendant votre journée et assurons la reprise le soir même ou le lendemain. Sous le soleil de la plaine cravéenne, le maintien en eau de nos fleurs fraîches préserve chaque composition jusqu’à la fin de la fête.
