Style Series: Part 6 Chateau Chic Wedding Dresses

So today is the last in my Chateau Chic wedding style series and today we are looking at Chateau chic wedding dresses.  Whether you are looking at buying a wedding dress in France or transporting your beautiful gown to your destination wedding, choosing your dress for your Chateau wedding can help to set the tone for the wedding theme itself.

Although not in a Chateau, my wedding was in an Abbey which like a Chateau has a sense of character that does influence your dress decision.  My wedding gown was actually a Sophia Tolli two piece, which you might get to see in the future, watch this space…

So what dresses are fit for a Chateau chic wedding?  The first dress that bride Jessica wore for her real life wedding at Chateau d’Esclimont was a stunning strapless gown and accessorised with a chunky necklace both Very Wang.

The second dress is a vintage inspired lace wedding dress by San Patrick part of the Pronovias Group, worn by Anastasia at her Chateau Challain real life wedding.

The tight lace bodice and a full skirt of  layers of tulle over silk taffeta are perfect for a romantic Chateau Chic wedding.
