This editorial shoot in Normandy, France brought together simple, refined design with the natural charm of a French château. The historic stone architecture, tall windows, and soft daylight created the perfect backdrop for a modern French wedding without feeling overly traditional.
The décor focused on clean lines and soft neutrals. Reception tables were draped with white organza to create movement and romance. For the table flowers, loose floral arrangements in ivory, white, and soft peach echoed the flowing tablecloths. We used gold flatware, and clear glassware to compliment the place settings with our custom wedding menus tying the design together. Each place setting featured a personalised name card with a gold wax seal, adding a detail that felt polished but not fussy. The menus, printed on high-quality textured paper, kept a minimal layout that matched the overall aesthetic. And to finish, we handtied each card with a silk bow.
This editorial blended the natural beauty of France with thoughtful, modern design. It captured everything couples often look for in a French destination wedding: a stunning location, relaxed elegance, meaningful details, and a cohesive style that feels both timeless and personal.
