Blending the poetry of an English garden with the elegance of French tradition, this styled shoot is a fresh take on the classic château wedding. Captured with graceful artistry by photographer Priscilla Puzenat, the editorial unfolds at a pastel-toned. privately owned, château in the French countryside—offering couples the ultimate English garden wedding inspiration reimagined through a modern, romantic lens.
A Fairytale Ceremony in a Storybook Setting
Beneath a canopy of tall trees, the ceremony felt like something lifted from a dream. The bride wore a romantic off-the-shoulder gown by Maison Capelier, with floral embroidery and voluminous sleeves that mirrored the softness of the setting.
Floral designer Le Clos Végétal crafted organic arrangements of garden roses, peonies, lisianthus, and wild greenery, framing the aisle and altar with gentle structure and effortless beauty. A meaningful handfasting ritual added an emotional layer, making the exchange feel intimate and deeply personal.
Refined Details to Create the Perfect English Garden Wedding Inspiration
The reception scene continued the refined garden aesthetic. A long table, draped in green toile de Jouy, was styled with blush napkins, white china, gold-rimmed glassware, and natural wooden chairs—creating an inviting mix of rustic charm and French elegance.
At the entrance, a green-toned seating chart made a striking first impression. Flanked by white pedestals and mirrored floral arrangements, it set the tone for the thoughtful design that followed. The menu was equally curated: a trio of classic French desserts, including a traditional wedding cake, delicate macarons, and a madeleines tower—a whimsical nod to French patisserie styled to perfection.
With creative direction by wedding planner Margot Solange Jacky, the shoot masterfully balances softness and sophistication. From the romantic ceremony beneath the trees to the alfresco reception details, each element was chosen with intention. The result is a celebration that feels elevated yet approachable—timeless in aesthetic, deeply personal in spirit, and full of inspiration for couples dreaming of a destination wedding in France.
