We wanted to feature Jessica & Stefan’s wedding for so many reasons. Firstly, Jessica was seven months pregnant at the time of the wedding and wowed in a beaded sparkly maternity wedding dress. Secondly, the couple decided on a champagne wedding theme (not just the colour but the drink too)! The couple used champagne bottles for table centrepieces and in the seating chart with champagne cork place names and green and gold accents across the whole day. Plus, we haven’t even touched on the fact that the couple tied the knot at the gorgeous Chateau de Cormicy. It’s just so elegant, classy and heartwarming and all captured by the brilliant Recommended Supplier, Rachel Pietri Photography.
One of my favourite moments of the day was reading out our wedding vows to each other that we had written ourselves while standing at the altar. It’s something I will never forget. We were in a total dream.

When it came to thinking about the theme and styling of the wedding day, Jessica & Stefan wanted it to have a link to champagne and decided that a champagne bottle has such a unique style that they wanted to carry it through the day. They opted for green accents in the bridesmaid’s dresses and the groomsmen's ties. They also had touches of champagne gold in the groom’s tie and the bridesmaid’s accessories. The colours also tied in through the stationery and decor throughout the entire day, including details for table names and the seating plan. It all worked so well with the natural beauty and surroundings of their venue, Chateau de Cormicy. Jessica sparkled in her beaded maternity wedding dress.
Jessica & Stefan’s day was extra special as Jessica was seven months pregnant at the time. Jessica sent out the invites and found out the couple were pregnant in the same month, after being told they would struggle to conceive. The wedding felt like the perfect way to celebrate. The couple were surrounded by their closest friends and family to celebrate in a stunning French Chateau. Obviously, being pregnant and drinking, Jessica has such a clear memory of almost all of the day but this may not be the case for anyone who is drinking. Jessica’s advice is to have a videographer! The couple have rewatched their video with almost all of their guests and have been able to relieve it every time so beautifully.
Stefan sabraged a bottle of champagne for the first time ever, and it worked! The photos are incredible!

We love how elegant and classic those green and gold accents are. We especially adore the emerald green bridesmaid dresses, they’re such a gorgeous style!
