A sun-kissed French chateau wedding in hues of pastel rainbow
Five years ago, this couple's our love story began and from the moment they met, it felt as if the universe knew they were soulmates destined to be together. Their adventures have known no bounds, as they've explored the world hand in hand. Yet, it was in France that their hearts found a home. The allure of a chateau wedding captured their dreams, and Chateau de Varennes emerged as the perfect backdrop for their love story. Aurelie of Peony Moments transformed the timeless venue into a sea of pastel rainbow - bringing the joy of their romance through exquisite wedding design!

Timelessly elegant wedding style
The bride began creating her timelessly elegant style with gorgeous makeup and hair styling by Jessica Dodd and Hair by Francesca Thurston. Her look was completed with a dazzling satin gown from Bijoux Bridal.
The groom looked sharp in a dapper black tuxedo that matched the chateau's aesthetic!
Classic bridal party with a pop of pink
To match their timeless attire, the couple's bridal party was dressed in classic black tuxedos with pops of pink bridesmaids to soften the look. We love how the color added dimension to the pastel themed day!
Even the couple's little ring bearers were dressed in adorable pastel green outfits!
A sun-kissed rainbow floral ceremony
The magical grounds of Chateau de Varennes were kissed in sunshine for a stunning outdoor ceremony! A rainbow of pastel blooms were woven into the grand tree backdrop by floral designer Atelier Myosotis. In perfect weather, guests, who flew from all corners of the globe to attend, were surrounded by the enchantment, likening the wedding to "something out of a magazine".
" The 26th of September was the most magical day; the weather was perfection, and the flowers adorned our celebration beyond imagination. As we exchanged vows in the shadow of the chateau, we realized that this day would be etched in our memories forever. Our journey had led us to a truly magical moment, a day filled with love, laughter, and the promise of a lifetime together." - Bride
A unique, family-style reception table
After the ceremony, guests were welcomed to their seats by a truly unique seating chart that instructed them to lovely, family-style joint tables. Rainbow candles and decor from Jolibazaar lined gorgeous place settings in perfect blocks of color.
"Behind the scenes, our amazing wedding planner Aurelie (Peony Moments) orchestrated every detail seamlessly. France became more than a destination; it became the canvas upon which our dreams were painted. And so, our honeymoon in South Africa awaited after a cherished chapter in our love story, hand in hand, we stepped into our future, grateful for the magical day that marked the beginning of our forever.” - Bride
