Getting Ready



Inside the chateau's cool interior rooms, Natasha dressed in unhurried calm. Her ivory tulle gown rustled softly against the stone floor as she moved toward the mirror. Bridesmaids in warm champagne tones adjusted details and filled the room with the low hum of anticipation. Across the property, Warren pulled on a sand-coloured tailored suit, clean lines and no fuss, grinning at the camera.
Ceremony



The garden aisle ran between rows of pale wooden chairs dressed with trailing eucalyptus and single stems of ivory cosmos. Natasha walked toward Warren as the light came in low and lateral, turning the tulle to something luminous. The ceremony was outdoors, backed by the chateau's stone walls, and the sound of the vows carried clearly in the still air. Warren's expression shifted from composed to completely undone.
Bridal Portraits






Natasha's tulle-overlay gown in ivory with a barely-there blush undertone caught the diffused afternoon light with a quiet shimmer. Sebastien Boudot positioned her where the lavender rows met the gravel edge, and the result was modern, clean, and full of movement. The tulle skirt lifted in the breeze and for one frame everything held still, a single moment suspended between stone architecture and open field.
Couple Portraits






With the formalities done, Natasha and Warren slipped into the chateau's quieter garden edges with Sebastien Boudot. The images feel less like posed shots and more like stolen time: walking, turning toward each other mid-laugh, Warren's hand at the small of Natasha's back. Warm terracotta and sage garden walls gave every frame a palette that needed no filter. Their brief had been young love, and this is exactly what it looked like.
Reception





Dinner was held outdoors under the deepening sky, tables dressed in undyed linen with clusters of amber glass votives running their full length. Personal wine selections anchored each setting. Guests moved through the gardens with glasses of rose during the cocktail hour as low arrangements of ivory roses and pampas sat on drinks tables. The dancing, unhurried and barefoot by the end, carried on well past midnight.
Design and Details






Rachel Veras built the floral palette around ivory garden roses, dried pampas plumes in wheaten gold, and clusters of dusty mauve statice that nodded to the surrounding lavender. Stationery arrived in warm cream with a terracotta serif typeface, precise and editorial. Amber-tinted glassware caught candlelight at the dinner hour, and hand-labelled wine bottles at each place setting declared who Natasha and Warren are.
