Rustic wedding at Saint Victor La Grand’ Maison

Simple rose buttoniere wedding

Happy Thursday lovelies, we have for you a lovely rustic wedding at Saint Victor La Grand’ Maison today in the threshold of the Berry and Poitou regions.

Our lovely bride Jo wore a stunning caped sleeve Jenny Packham gown complimented with a pair of lovely Rachel Simpson shoes, two of my favourite wedding designers!

Our happy couple completely embraced the planning stages of their wedding and enjoyed trips to France throughout their planning to check out venues and test out suppliers, now that sounds like so much fun!

To add perfectly to the details of the day Jo and Fraser chose talented FWS vendor Lisa Gatenby of French Flower Style to create the pretty rustic blooms for their special day.

I’ll hand you over to photographer Tim Fox now and our lovely bride and groom who will be walking us through today’s wedding…

Tim Fox Photography: “As a photographer there are some weddings you intuitively have a good feeling about and especially look forward to and Jo and Fraser’s special day at the charming venue of Saint Victor La Grand’ Maison, set on the boundaries of the Berry & Poitou regions, lived up to all my expectations.”

Jo and Fraser: “We instantly fell for St Victor – it was the first venue that we saw and no other came close. The combination of rustic, romantic charm, and fabulous beauty was instantly captivating. The owner, Marie, has exquisite taste and has refurbished the estate impeccably, with a blend of rustic-meets-contemporary style.”

Jo and Fraser: “We chose to marry in France because Jo has lived in France on three occasions and has a strong affinity for the place – and not to mention that both of us are lovers of French wine and cheese! We loved the process of arranging the wedding, with multiple trips to the region to test out suppliers and get to know the area better.”
