Modern French Country Wedding with Vintage Mirror Ceremony Decor

This romantic wedding shoot from Hannah Hicks Photography and Novalee Events Co. blends modern French country style with sun-kissed yellow flowers and dusty blue decor to create elegant Chateau inspiration! The bride’s glamorous Berta ballgown and vintage updo hairstyle epitomized the chic French style they wanted to bring to this wedding inspiration, and the ombre ruffled cake is the perfect finishing touch!

On the Modern French Country Aesthetic –

As readers peruse through the images of our Modern Chic French Chateau styled shoot consisting of sun-kissed yellows and subtle blues, I want them to not only be inspired by the beauty of the “modern chic” and “french chateau” elements coming together, but also observe the core concepts behind this vision. In the 13th and 14th century, a French Chateau originally served the purpose of a fortress. This structure, despite its stunning and awe-inspiring attributes, had endured times of sorrow and hardship, yet, it magnificently still stands. Symbolically, the union of this couple will inevitably see times of hardship and sadness, but they, too, will persevere through the valleys and revel in the peaks.

May Chester Design went for free-formed and flowing for the bridal flowers! The stunning bouquet had a garden quality with yellow, white, and peach blossoms paired with organic greens to keep the shape whimsical and not too formal. The sunny yellow roses, peonies, and ranunculus blossoms added ruffled details that were a perfect match for the French country style!

Love letters and symbols of union played a huge part in the shoot:

The details of the French door plate within the stationary suite signifying the doors that will be opened for this couple that no man can shut.

The detail of the binoculars, despite having been worn by time, serve as a contemporary element as it is fore-telling of the bride’s intention to move outside of her familiar haven and explore the unexpected. Thereby, creating a life with her husband that facilitates both of their goals coming to fruition.

The stunning combination of dove gray and sunny yellow created the perfect country charm for this romantic wedding shoot, with the silk ribbons of the bride’s bouquet picking up the muted shade of the groom’s suit!

The vintage mirror ceremony decor made for a stunning focal point in The Grayson House! Aisles of cane back linen chairs created the perfect French country atmosphere to lead to the antique mirror, with a luxurious gilded frame draped with a yellow floral garland. The vintage mirror provided beautiful views of the vows from every angle to showcase the ceremony style to perfection!

Metallic tan tablecloths added a luxurious finish to the reception table, creating a neutral tablescape for Novalee Events Co. and May Chester Design to dress with sun-kissed yellow flowers and smokey blue taper candles.
