French Chateau Romance
Rochelle & Pete actually live over in Dubai and were born in the UK, so they have friends and family hailing from all over the globe. They decided to make it worthwhile for everyone by celebrating their wedding over three days in France! Rochelle had actually found Chateau Lagorce on Instagram years before the wedding and knew it was the place! Wanting to keep things as personal as they could, the couple got stuck in with finding cute decor and details that reflected them. Rochelle wanted to showcase her Jewish heritage through traditions, the couple had a signature cocktail menu with their fave cocktail and ended things with a firework display! Alexa, play ‘Sparks Fly’ by Taylor Swift. One personal detail we loved was how the couple ditched the usual wedding favours and chose to do welcome bags and gifts so that guests would have all the essentials for the weekend at Bordeaux!
I loved our first dance, seeing everyone singing along to ‘I Love You Baby’ was just epic! The speeches and sitting at the top table watching all our friends and family was also a great moment. Pete’s favourite moment was seeing all his favourite people on the dance floor and the Sunday pool party after the wedding!
