Real Life Weddings France: Picardie

Today’s real life weddings France takes us to The Château de Sorel, 13 miles North West of Compiegne in Picardie, to the elegant wedding of Giovana and Dominique coordinated by international wedding planners Mon plus beau jour.

The Château de Sorel is an idyllic chateau with very impressive gardens “à la française” where everything is just perfect.  It is a lovely château surrounded by the countryside including livestock grazing a beautiful french countryside setting for your wedding day.

Giovana and Dominique wanted their wedding to be elegant and rather classic but not too ‘stiff’.    The overall theme was chic wrapped up in romance.  Giovana has a favorite color of navy blue and she wanted this color to be the main color in the palette mixed with other shades of blue and a touch of purple/lavender.

Favors were personalized flip-flops: right foot represented France and left foot Brazil!
