Originally from California, Julie and Morgan shared a love of travel that led them to this French vineyard setting. Their story began across continents and culminated in a weekend that mirrored their sense of adventure and appreciation for beauty. During an early planning trip, Julie discovered this romantic wedding chateau with her mother and instantly knew it was the one. It was then she met Léa, who would become her guide through the planning journey. Together, they crafted a weekend experience that honored the couple’s global roots and their love for France’s winemaking culture, centered around the timeless charm of Saint-Émilion and Bordeaux.

Julie envisioned an autumnal palette of violet and deep bordeaux, accented with orange for warmth and texture. Floral arrangements felt painterly and organic, with clusters of grapes woven through the designs, a gentle nod to the surrounding vineyards. The weekend began with a convivial dinner in Saint-Émilion and continued with an emotional ceremony in the château’s garden. The reception in the renovated barn carried into the night, filled with dancing and joy. The day came together through the expertise of Léa, one of the South of France’s leading wedding planners, whose calm precision allowed every detail to shine naturally.
