Château de Tourreau Wedding Design

Charlotte and Sam held their wedding at Château de Tourreau in Provence, planning a weekend that felt intimate, timeless, and effortlessly elegant. They worked with planners Wanderlust Wedding to create a celebration inspired by a European summer holiday, according to a report by Style Me Pretty.

The couple was drawn to the venue's French architecture, warmth, and character. Their vision blended classic British sophistication with Provençal chic. The overall creative direction and styling were brought to life by Coramour.

Fashion and Beauty

Charlotte chose a classic Vivienne Westwood gown for its silhouette and structure. Her beauty look featured soft natural makeup and undone hair. For the evening reception, she changed into a delicate lace mini dress by Dana Harel.

The bridesmaids wore floor-length satin gowns in a soft champagne ivory tone. Their sleek silhouettes were paired with delicate white bouquets. Sam wore a custom-made suit by Forbes Tailoring with Prada Oxford shoes. The groomsmen followed a similarly classic approach with timeless formalwear.

Design and Details

The design palette took cues from Provence itself. It used warm beige from natural stone, dark aged wood tones, and green and white florals. Sisters & Blush Floral Design executed the floral artistry, including a striking installation framing the vows and a lush floral meadow lining the garden aisle.

Long alfresco tables on the château promenade were dressed with textured linens, ceramic vessels, and layered candlelight. Suspended chandeliers were intertwined overhead. The floral and decor concept was imagined in collaboration with Coramour and Wanderlust Wedding.

Culinary and Entertainment

The culinary experience was designed to celebrate French hospitality. Dinner was curated by Cinquième Saison, showcasing French gastronomy with seasonal ingredients. Cocktails and beverages were crafted by DNA Premium Bar.

The ceremony began with a live string quartet. A close friend of the bride shared a personally written poem about the couple's relationship and their daughter. During dinner, live performances were by Tim Gallagher accompanied by pianist Ollie Walton.

The couple's first dance was to 'You Are The Reason', performed live on piano. The celebration later transitioned to a high-energy party led by Thomass Dussene and a live band. The wedding cake was an elegant traditional design, kept understated to fit the overall aesthetic.

On the morning of the wedding, Sam surprised Charlotte with a private moment before the day began. The proposal had occurred years earlier at Lake Como's Villa Monastero after Sam organized a secret trip to Italy.
