Baby it’s Cold Outside: A Love Story in a Former Leather Tannery
Like a scene from a winter fairy tale, the Manufacture Royale de Lectoure stands timeless in the heart of France, its centuries-old walls harboring countless love stories. It was here that photographer Daria and visionary wedding planner Candice from Quinze heures Quinze chose to weave their own magical winter narrative. Together, they transformed this historic treasure into an enchanted winter wonderland that captures the essence of cold-weather romance – where warmth meets frost, where old meets new, and where love flourishes in winter’s embrace.
The collaboration between these two creatives brings to life everything that makes winter weddings extraordinary. Their artistic vision celebrates the season’s natural poetry: the soft glow of candlelight against stone walls, the shimmer of frost-inspired details, and that indescribable feeling of finding warmth in love while snowflakes dance outside. The result is more than just a wedding setting – it’s a testament to how winter’s magic can transform even the most historic spaces into something breathtakingly contemporary.
An Enchanted Winter Wedding Canvas
In crafting this winter wedding editorial, Daria and the fashion-forward wedding planner Candice drew inspiration from the season’s natural beauty. Their vision materialized in ethereal table settings where gossamer-light tulle mimicked freshly fallen snow over crisp white linens. Bold black cutlery provided dramatic contrast, like bare branches against a winter sky, while handcrafted plates from local artisan Aurélie brought in that unmistakable French sophistication. Each element was carefully chosen to showcase how a winter wedding can be both timeless and contemporary.
Seasonal Details That Warm the Heart
The creative team embraced the winter wedding theme with thoughtful, seasonal touches. So Helo’s crystal tiara sparkled like icicles in winter sunlight, while the bride’s sleek gown from About Love in Bordeaux offered modern elegance against the groom’s rich black velvet suit – perfect for a cozy winter celebration. Mauricette Likes Flowers created arrangements of white amaranth and anemones that captured winter’s pure beauty, while Leïla Cakes Creation’s masterpiece featured intricate designs reminiscent of frost patterns on a winter morning. Together, these elements proved that when it comes to winter weddings, the possibilities are as endless as a snow-covered horizon…
