It was back in 2019 that Alexandra Baron and Daniel Berkovitz first met, before getting married in 2023 in Vence, in the South of France. Fans of last-minute trips, the model and art collector got engaged during a getaway to Iceland, during a surprise helicopter flight organized by Daniel. ‘I had no idea we would land on the side of a mountain where Danny proposed to me,’ recalls the young bride. ‘It was one of the strongest emotions I’ve ever felt. It’s one of the most special moments of my life, and I love the fact that it was just the two of us. He didn’t tell anyone, except our parents – not even the pilot, who I think was as shocked as I was!’
For their wedding, Alexandra Baron and Daniel Berkovitz hesitated before settling on the South of France
Alexandra Baron is half-French and fulfilled her dream of getting married in the South of France thanks to the wedding planners at White Eden Weddings. ‘When we saw Château Saint Martin, our reception venue, we fell in love.’ A beautiful place in itself, it was decorated with thousands of white lilies for a traditional yet grand effect. ‘We hung 15,000 lilies above us, which spread all around the tent. We couldn’t believe how beautiful it was in reality after looking at sketches for so many months,’ said the bride.
To match the grand venue, Alexandra Baron already had an idea of the kind of wedding dress that she wanted. “I knew I wanted a spectacular wedding dress to match the beauty of the venue, especially since it’s not my usual style. You only get married once! I’ve always liked the look of a low waist dress, so when I tried one at Galia Lahav, I knew it was the one for me.” After several fittings, the model insisted on dropping the straps of her dress to make it even more fitting, encouraged by her sister-in-law to achieve THE look she had been dreaming of.
Alexandra Baron and Daniel Berkovitz nearly got caught in the rain for their outdoor wedding ceremony
After a festive and colorful welcome dinner, the couple had planned an outdoor wedding ceremony, yet they hadn’t considered the unpredictable French weather. “On our wedding day, all forecasts predicted 100% rain,” recalls Alexandra Baron. “As I waited to walk down the aisle, the weather began to clear up and the clouds dissipated. I felt like I was dreaming, but as soon as I stepped into the aisle with my father, the clouds parted and the sun appeared.” The rest of the day was filled with good vibes and French food. Obviously, the newlyweds and their guests ended the celebration by dancing all night long. To feel more at ease, Alexandra opted for a mini dress with sequins and pearls. This wedding weekend was a great moment of sharing, something dear to the couple. ‘Above all, I hope our guests felt the love we have for each other, but also for all of them!’ Relive the Alexandra Baron and Daniel Berkovitz’s big day here with an exclusive interview and photos.
