Today is the second part of Jessica and Chetan’s 3 day french wedding in France at Chateau d’Esclimont, yesterday they shared with us part 1 the pre wedding celebrations. Jessica takes us through the planning for her and Chetan’s wedding:
“Chetan and I wanted our wedding to be extremely personal and a true expression of us, so all of the little details had much thought put into them — making each and every one a true labor of love. Most everything was made by us if it could be — from antiqued photos tied with vintage ribbon inserted into the save-the-dates, to hand tied invitations, to the Chateau history written by Chetan, to the pillows and throws for the ceremony/dinner decor made by my mother and I, as well as the table identifiers and other decorations.”
There are so many wonderful elements to this wedding and I found it extremely hard to cut down the choice and not post all of the stunning wedding photos by Janis Ratnieks! I love the narrative that comes through in the photos and throughly enjoyed putting this post together.

Did they rent the whole castle or just parts of it?
