As far as destination weddings go, it doesn’t get much dreamier than UK couple, Liana and Josh’s intimate, micro-soiree in the south of France.
Describing the Chateau Coty celebration as simple, chic and classic, the couple of 11-plus years took their styling cues from European wedding aesthetics. But overall, they let the beauty of this 18th-century countryside chateau do the heavy lifting when it came to defining the vibe. “The property really was the star of the show,” the newlyweds explain. “We didn’t want to take away from the natural beauty of our surroundings, and felt as though flowers and candle light were the only decorations needed to enhance what we already had.”
Below, the bride and groom share which vendor felt like family on the day (spoilers, it was phenomenal destination wedding photographer Alexandra Palombi –no surprises there). Plus, etherial DIY details, a simple-yet-meaningful wedding favour idea, standout moments and other stuff sure to inspire.
