An Al Fresco Fête at Chateau de Villette in Paris France
After saying "Oui" to David's proposal on the sun-drenched shores of the French Riviera, Sophie knew her dream wedding would be steeped in French elegance. With David's familial ties to France and a rich heritage of love, the choice of venue felt destined. The majestic Chateau de Villette, with its stately grandeur and lush gardens, provided the perfect backdrop for a celebration that blended timeless romance with a chic, feminine flair. Sophie envisioned an outdoor ceremony that captured the essence of al fresco dining, drawing guests into a world where the interior splendor of the Chateau seamlessly extended into its manicured grounds.
Sophie's vision came to life with a delicate palette of sage, pistachio green, lilac, dusty blue, and soft white, harmonizing with the Chateau's exquisite decor. The ceremony, set against a runner of lush blooms and a dramatic arch, was nothing short of enchanting. As guests sipped on French Lavender Spritzes and espresso martinis, they enjoyed a dinner set by the serene lakeside, with chandeliers casting a warm glow as the sun dipped below the horizon. Each couple received a paper lock as a keepsake, symbolizing Sophie and David's personal tradition on the Love Lock Bridge in Paris. The evening culminated in a dance under the stars in the Chateau's Orangery, a fitting end to a celebration steeped in elegance and timeless Parisian charm.
