Noemie and Amaury chose Domaine de Primard, a luxury countryside wedding estate near Paris, for an autumn celebration that blended Parisian bistro spirit with French countryside refinement. Planner Eleonore Garat guided the day from a fountain ceremony in the formal gardens through poolside cocktails to a long-table dinner dressed in illustrated linens. Lea Evrevin and videographer Emmanuel Amou captured every scene at this romantic countryside wedding venue in northern France.

Noemie stepped into a white strapless ball gown with a structured bodice and full satin skirt from Top Bridal Paris, paired with a handcrafted veil by Elisabeth Veil Collection and delicate Gemmyo jewelry. A brass clothing rail held the day's wardrobe, including a pale blue draped evening dress for later. Amaury prepared in a Rives Paris tuxedo, his white French-cuff shirt crisp against the morning light as he smoked a cigar with quiet composure. Larissa Beauty handled hair and makeup, keeping the look polished and natural.

Guests gathered in the formal French gardens of Domaine de Primard, settling into white wrought-iron chairs flanked by manicured topiary and gravel pathways. The ceremony unfolded before the estate's central fountain, surrounded by airy arrangements from Esther Lamarche that softened the geometric hedges. An aerial view revealed the intimate scale of the gathering, the circular basin reflecting autumn sky as vows were spoken beneath the open canopy of clipped limes.

Noemie walked barefoot across the open lawn, her strapless ball gown's long train fanning out across the grass as she glanced back over her shoulder. In the gravel courtyard, the limestone facade and climbing vines framed a more structured portrait, while sheer blue-grey curtains inside filtered soft window light for quieter indoor frames. Lea Evrevin balanced candid movement with composed stillness throughout the series.

Lea Evrevin photographed the pair across the estate's formal gardens, capturing Amaury lifting Noemie mid-laugh against manicured boxwood hedges and gravel paths. The autumn light gave warmth to their color frames while black-and-white compositions focused on gesture and expression. On the stone steps of the main building, the bridal party joined them briefly, Noemie centered in her voluminous gown among friends in coordinated tones beneath the pale blue-grey shutters.

Cocktails moved poolside, where guests in summer silks and linen suits mingled in warm evening light beside the estate's rectangular swimming pool. The Blooming Buffet dressed display tables with savory macarons, caviar bites, and a Martini tower that carried the couple's playful Parisian spirit. A cocktail station draped in white linen sat in the chateau's grounds, the multi-storey cream stone manor soft in the background.


Reception

Dinner stretched along a single long table on the manicured lawn, dressed in custom Maison Margaux linens printed with croissants, oysters, and lighthearted sketches inspired by Parisian bistro culture. Les Petites Germaines provided the tableware while Maison Options completed the setting with elegant rentals. Wedding Cake and Co's three-tier square cake in all-white fondant, etched with floral motifs echoing the chateau's moldings, stood on a laser-cut stand beside trays of madeleines and macarons. The evening ended with dancing, Noemie in a lace strapless gown swaying under darkening autumn skies.

Esther Lamarche shaped the floral story with loose, garden-gathered arrangements in white and green that softened the estate's formal geometry. Bouquets mixed seasonal textures against the clipped topiary, while table centers ran the full length of the outdoor reception in low clusters. The illustrated tablecloth by Maison Margaux became a talking point, its hand-drawn Parisian motifs giving the refined setting an irreverent, personal edge.


Flat Lays

Stationery by Atelier Novem set a graphic tone with a dark green and white geometric-patterned suite for the couple's Domaine de Primard celebration. Noemie's black Christian Dior J'Adior slingback heels, with their signature white grosgrain ribbon straps, were styled on the rim of a freestanding bathtub, the marble and brass fixtures adding a hotel-luxe detail to the flat lay series.

Domaine de Primard, once the private residence of Catherine Deneuve, offered formal French gardens with manicured topiary, a central fountain for the ceremony, and a rectangular pool terrace for cocktails. Aerial drone shots revealed the full scale of the estate: a classic 18th-century stone manor with slate mansard roofing surrounded by structured grounds. The chateau's grey-shuttered facade and climbing vines provided a restrained backdrop that let the couple's personal styling take center stage.
