Inspired by the timeless elegance of Château de Tourreau, the creative vision for this shoot reimagined autumn with a fresh, year-round twist. Soft pastels met deeper, moodier tones—designed to echo the chateau’s breathtaking facade and golden light. Capturing it all was videographer Iacovos Argyrides, whose cinematic storytelling brought movement, soul, and a sense of quiet luxury to every frame.
Planning & Location
Fashion
The bride stunned in Berta gowns, chosen for their luxurious silhouettes and modern edge. For beauty, soft waves by Karine Brossard framed her face during the ceremony, transitioning into a sleek ponytail for the reception—striking the perfect balance between romance and polish. Makeup by Kayla Kollection remained understated and radiant, allowing the gowns to take center stage. Thoughtfully designed stationery by Laura Elizabeth Patrick added an extra layer of color and charm, perfectly tying together the shoot’s refined yet romantic aesthetic.
Florals & Decor
A carefully curated palette of blush, ivory, and pale blue was layered with richer autumn hues—warm apricot, soft lavender—to create florals that felt both elevated and organic. The arrangements by La Blonde et le Barbu Design were full of movement and texture, echoing the beauty of the grounds while complementing the chateau’s romantic and refined atmosphere. Lush but never overdone, the floral design brought an effortless elegance to every frame.
The ceremony featured towering floral pillars that framed the vows and echoed the grandeur of the chateau. For the reception, lace linens and sparkling crystal chandeliers set a refined tone beneath the open sky. The cake by K & Kakes, nestled in a romantic floral display, served as the perfect finishing touch to this effortlessly timeless celebration.
