A Cheerful Wedding at Domaine des Halles

From Kyoto to Lyon: A Unique Fusion of Cultures in a French Castle Wedding

Location: Lyon, East of France

Located just one hour away from the city of Lyon, the story unfolds in the enchanting Domaine des Halles. Here, the bride and groom, a Japanese couple enamored by the French art de vivre, chose to celebrate their love. Eager to experience the essence of an elegant and intimate French wedding, they invited no less than 40 guests to join in their unique celebration.

Early in the morning, the couple began their preparations in one of the castle’s luxurious suites. The bride, initially dressed in a tailored bathrobe for the pre-wedding photos, later, with the assistance of her close friends, gracefully slipped into her signature Mademoiselle Reve marriage dress. She then adorned herself with a veil, delicately hand-embroidered in Provence, bearing the phrase “Until the end of Times.” On the other side of the castle, the groom, along with his groomsmen, donned a tailored tuxedo. In these moments of anticipation, he took the time to write his vows, eagerly awaiting the first look with his bride…
