Location: Paris • Île-de-France • North of France
Just 35 minutes northwest of Paris, Miya and Louie welcomed their guests to Château de Villette, a historic estate that includes a chapel and adjacent reception room, horse stable and greenhouse. The North of France light lent softness to the château’s stone façade as guests arrived through the grand entrance and into the blue salon. Inside one of the most remarkable châteaux in France, high ceilings, tall windows, and rich wall tones framed a ceremony that felt intimate within its grandeur. The air carried quiet anticipation as polished floors reflected filtered light. Wedding photographer Alexandr Purcel documented the unfolding scene, capturing the stillness between moments the lowered glances, the gentle smiles, and the glow that filled the room.

A Pink Floral Story Set Within the Blue Salon
The ceremony design transformed the salon into a living installation of color and form. A palette of pinks from the palest blush to saturated fuchsia softened the architectural lines, bringing warmth and vibrancy to the historic interior. Florals framed the floor and rose in sculptural groupings at corners, creating a natural rhythm that guided the eye toward the aisle. Clear glass vases caught the daylight and mirrored the château’s moldings, while the room’s blue walls offered perfect contrast. The effect was clean and balanced: a ceremony that celebrated color without excess. Guests watched from pale upholstered chairs, surrounded by the interplay of florals, light, and space.
Candlelight Dinner in Stone: An Evening at the Grand Château
Dinner unfolded in the limestone dining room of the Grand Château de Villette, where one long table brought everyone together beneath candlelight. Dozens of flames reflected across crystal and polished silver, filling the room with warmth against the cool stone walls. The table design stayed modern and deliberate, each setting aligned for symmetry and flow. Service followed a calm rhythm, punctuated by speeches and laughter. Between courses, guests wandered through adjoining salons and galleries before returning to the soft hum of the table. The celebration closed in the same tone it began—measured, elegant, and illuminated by the quiet glow of candlelight, all captured through the lens of Alexandr Purcel, one of the best wedding photographers in the Paris.
