Grooms Bow Ties and First Look at this Same Sex French Wedding

Photography by Patricia Hendrychova-Estanguet

A rustic French wedding with a handsome couple in smart complementing suits and the grooms bow ties in neutral tones. The beautiful venue was decorated with pretty flowers and delicate dried displays with a wooden arch to say their I Do's under. The nature-loving couple kept simple with a DIY wooden pallet seating chart and tree slice place names, completing the look with a homemade fairy light polaroid photo station. The couple chose to do a first look in which they shared an emotional moment before they made their way to the outdoor ceremony surrounded by their close friends and family! The duo specifically chose certain elements to introduce their guests to the Basque Country culture, Stéphane's native region.

What Made Our Day Unique
It was such a beautiful day ! I think what made it unique was the chemistry between the location, the suppliers, our families and friends, and us of course! Vincent and I never imagined feeling so much hapiness.

Grooms Bow Ties

The handsome duo looked dapper in their suits in blue and grey and the grooms bow ties were neutral tones to match the hues of the day. Having decided they wanted to complement each other on the day, the couple chose to have their suits tailor-made to make them that little bit extra special! As it was a Summer celebration soft linens and tones were used throughout the day creating a fresh and rustic ambience.

Inspiration & Styling
We wanted a wedding close to nature, classy but simple and as far as possible eco-responsible. The inspiration behind the desire to have a country wedding came naturally because we are nature lovers and Vincent is crazy about plants!
