Brad hopes it will make them smile. Apparently, the elephants were the children's idea.''They want the wedding to take place just before sunset, so that as they say their vows the church will fill with fabulous red, orange and yellow light. The lawns have all got new sprinkler systems in, so they'll be green and lush for the big day. Brad wants the guests to say, 'Wow' the moment they sweep through the gates.''The 'Moneyball' actor is taking a very hands on approach to the planning, and is particularly keen that his big plans for the grounds of the estate provide a legacy that will last for generations to come.Lucille explained to the new UK issue of Grazia magazine: ''Brad flew in two weeks ago and has given a team of eight gardeners very specific clean-up plans, along with planting instructions that he drew up himself ... Brad wants what they plant to help local wildlife for generations to come.''He's spending in the region of £30,000 on flowers and says they've decided no cut flowers, just planted wild ones, so that in the future, their great-grandchildren can see where they made a promise to each other.''

Sometimes parents need a night away from their kids to enjoy themselves - and that's exactly what Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie recently did!Life & Style has learned that Brad and his fiancée put an A-list spin on a tried-and-true date -- dinner and a movie -- earlier this month.First, the stars popped up at Sony Pictures Studio in LA for an ultra-exclusive screening of a not yet-released film, Inside Llewyn Davis, a folk-music drama. “They held hands and stuck close to each other as they mingled,” an eyewitness tells this week’s issue of Life & Style, on stands now. “They looked so solid together.”After the credits rolled, Brad, 49, whisked Angie, 37, to Mr. Chow, where the couple got flirty over a feast of high-end Chinese fare.“He pulled out her chair for her,” recalls a fellow diner, “and they held hands at the table.”And calorie-counting wasn’t on the menu for the lovebirds. “They sipped wine and munched on dumplings,” continues the diner. “He ordered the Drunken Fish and green beans, and Angie had the Crispy Beef!”Though the couple, who are parents to Maddox, 11, Pax, 9, Zahara, 8, Shiloh, 6, and 4-year-old twins, Vivienne and Knox, got engaged in December 2011, they've yet to set a wedding date."I'm not somebody that thinks about destiny and fate, but I don't walk away from it when something unfolds," Angie's said about their engagement. "It's like my children. Especially when you adopt in some countries. All my other children were just, 'This is the child that's been chosen for you."

It seems Angelina Jolie was a lot more thoughtful than her baby daddy Brad Pitt when it came to Valentine's Day. Apparently there is a running joke between the pair about Angie's halitosis, so Brad gave her breath mints in lieu of a romantic gift.Angelina, who's notorious for splurging on pricey gifts for Brad, also went the understated route this time. But she got her man something he may be a little more excited about than a package of mints. According to the National Enquirer, Angie ordered Brad an X-rated coffee table book, "Suicide Girls: Hard Girls, Soft Light."The Suicide Girls are legendary for their "DIY" brand of erotica, and their new book features hundreds of tough, tattooed punk-rock types baring it all under the angelic glow of daylight. The book purports to portray young women who are "more brazen than the girl-next-door," and the company calls itself the "most dangerous collection of outsider women in the world." Hmm ... sound like anyone we know? The mag's insider says Angelina thought the girls featured in the book were reminiscent of her own younger days. Well, she didn't have the tattoos yet, but what do you think -- could Angie have made it as a Suicide Girl?

The ‘World War Z’ actor jokingly gave his lady vegan, gluten-free, sugar-free mints as a gift for the lover’s holiday.Brad Pitt gave his love Angelina Jolie a refreshing Valentine’s Day gift … breath mints.The 37-year-old actress received Eatwhatever mints from Pitt, 49, her man of almost eight years.The vegan, gluten-free, sugar-free product includes one swallowable gel cap and a mint to suck on and was intended as a loving joke because “he always teases her that she has bad breath,” a source told Us Weekly.“It’s a joke gift,” the source added. “He’ll also get her something more serious.”With the way most women view Valentine’s Day, he’d better not sidestep on the other gift.In fact, Jolie has never been shy about showering her fiancé with gifts like the diamond pendant engraved with a microscopic love note she gave him in 2011. To top that, the “Maleficent” actress gifted Pitt with a California waterfall, an actual waterfall that the couple plans to build a house above.The “World War Z” actor’s mints just can’t compare to the 200-year-old tree Jolie gave him for the lover’s holiday in 2010 or the $1.6 million helicopter and flying lessons she surprised him with last year.But love is love, right? Maybe Pitt will up the ante when the couple finally gets married “definitely this year,” the source predicted.

After centuries, sleepy Châteauneuf-du-Pape in the southern Rhone is waking up and changes are afoot at one the appellation's premier estates. First there was the Famille Perrin iPad app. Now, the family has a new joint winemaking project with actors Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt.According to a story on the British wine magazine Decanter's site, the Perrin family of the renowned Châteauneuf-du-Pape estate Château de Beaucastel and the Central Coast property Tablas Creek, will be making the wine at the Hollywood stars’ Provence estate, Château Miraval, in Correns, France.The article quotes Marc Perrin as saying, "They (the Jolie-Pitts) want to ensure they are making the best Provence wines they can. They were present at the blending sessions this year, and are relooking at everything from the installations in the winery -- where we have already switched to stainless steel tanks -- to reworking the labels across the range of wines."Château Miraval is described as "one of the most beautiful historic domaines in France" on its old website. (The new one is still under construction.) The estate makes white, rosé and red under the Côtes de Provence appellation. The district of Correns, where the winery is situated, is "famous for being the first village in France where all farm produce is biologically produced ... Therefore, at Miraval no herbicides, pesticides or fungicides are used, only naturally occurring compounds such as sulfates and copper sulfate."
