CONTEMPORARY FRENCH OPULENCE – INSPIRED BY CHATEAUS AND MARIE ANTOINETTE
Inspired by French chateaus and the exuberant fashion of Marie Antoinette, this styled wedding shoot is filled with eye candy and chic details. Embellishments like bows allude to the feminine mystique of Marie herself, while pastels serve to create a contemporary expression of French opulence.
In this fashion story, the bride a vision – a chic and contemporary fashion icon – has chosen this French inspired locale to celebrate her wedding. Her wedding vision is one that seamlessly marries the grandeur of the past with the sophistication of the present.
The day begins with a brunch inspired by the opulence of Marie Antoinette, but with a fresh, modern twist that speaks to the bride's impeccable taste and love of high fashion. Beautifully designed table settings highlight how this brunch is so much more than a meal; it’s an experience that celebrates friendship, love, and the joyous anticipation of a new chapter for the bride and her betrothed.
Each detail has been meticulously curated, from the personalized place settings, to the sleek crystal candelabras, to the central vintage statue draped in classic French Blue florals, ensuring that every detail reflects the bride's vision and the essence of the celebration.
For a modern interpretation of French opulence, the ambiance is one of effortless elegance-meets-timeless sophistication. The French mansion, with its classic architecture and breathtaking beauty, provides the perfect backdrop for this contemporary twist on a centuries-old theme.
The bride’s attention to detail and her passion for high fashion are evident in every aspect of the celebration. Dressed in couture gowns by Ines Di Santo, surrounded by lavish décor, and served a plethora of delectable cakes and desserts, she channels the essence of Marie.
As many luxury brides do, the bride changes into her final dress when the day draws to a close. Her last look takes place on the grand staircase for one final toast. Sunlight filters through the stained-glass windows, casting a kaleidoscope of colors over the scene; and for a moment, time seems to stand still.
This is a day that will be remembered not just for its beauty and elegance, but for the love and friendship that it celebrates. It is a fitting beginning to the bride’s new journey – a day of high style and heartfelt joy that perfectly encapsulates the spirit of her wedding celebration.
