A Perfectly Planned Overseas Wedding at a Heritage Family Château
Edward and Zoe’s journey to forever began at Georgetown University, where they met as residential advisors during their college years. Edward, a philosophy major, and Zoe, an economics major, quickly bonded over their roles and shared interests. While Zoe had a secret crush on Edward ever since their time together in an investment club, Edward humorously claims no memory of those meetings. Their deep connection blossomed into a love story that eventually led them to the historic halls of Château de Champlâtreux in France.
Planning a Dream Wedding Overseas
The decision to marry at Château de Champlâtreux was both personal and significant. The château was once the residence of Edward’s ancestors, the Mole family, making it the perfect venue to celebrate their love and honor his family history. Incorporating the family seal into their wedding invitations, dinner menus, and cocktail napkins, the couple paid tribute to Edward’s heritage throughout the celebration.
Planning from overseas can be daunting, but Edward and Zoe managed the process gracefully with the help of Momento Mio. The couple organized an elegant, blue-themed wedding that came together beautifully. Friends and family from around the world joined the celebration, with guests representing 28 different nationalities. Their global backgrounds were highlighted by naming the dinner tables after cities that held significance to their relationship.
A Day of Elegance and Joy
The wedding style was defined by an elegant blue color palette and stunning floral arrangements from AS Luxury. Despite the rainy 2024 season, the couple took a chance on an outdoor dinner, allowing guests to enjoy a breathtaking view of Château de Champlâtreux. The ceremony’s floral arch and personalized details, such as the family seal, contributed to the event’s sophistication and timeless beauty.
Special moments from the day included Zoe’s heartfelt vows, her father’s emotional speech in English, and a lighthearted champagne photoshoot that brought a touch of fun to the festivities.
