A Romantic Countryside Celebration with Modern Flair
The wedding’s design was a harmonious blend of classic and contemporary elements, curated by Louise Boucher, a talented wedding designer and planner in the Loire Valley. The ceremony at Église de Chambord exuded a fairytale ambiance with a modern twist, featuring calla lilies that echoed the bride’s grandmother’s wedding and green cymbidium orchids for a personal touch. The cocktail hour was set against a rustic-chic backdrop of uncut fields, enhancing the countryside charm with live jazz. The reception decor was a mix of antique glassware and rows of candlelight, balanced with clean, modern menus crafted by a friend. Camille’s fashion choices were equally thoughtful, with a dress by Danielle Frankel that transformed from a traditional church look to a sleek, backless design for the evening. The floral arrangements, including dancing lady orchids reminiscent of the bride’s childhood in Hong Kong, added a layer of personal significance and modern flair.
